Diabetic Foot Care

The Importance of Taking Care of Your Feet When You Have Diabetes

In the world of diabetic foot care, the saying "prevention is key" holds true. As an experienced podiatrist specializing in diabetic foot care in Pomona, CA, and the La Verne and Claremont, CA, areas, Dr. O'Neill understands the importance of taking swift action to address any concerns you may have about your feet.

By reaching out to our office as soon as you notice an issue, you can work together with Dr. O'Neill to maintain optimal foot health and prevent more serious complications down the road.

Stay Ahead of Diabetic Foot Complications with Regular Podiatry Care

It is crucial for diabetic patients to prioritize regular visits to a podiatrist, like Dr. O'Neill, to maintain optimal foot health. During each appointment, Dr. O'Neill will conduct a thorough examination of your feet, monitoring for any changes and implementing a personalized treatment plan to address any concerns. Even if you are not experiencing any noticeable issues, it is important to keep up with regular appointments to prevent potential problems from developing.

Neglecting minor foot problems can lead to serious complications for diabetic patients, especially if nerve damage has occurred. Since many diabetics experience decreased sensation in their feet, even a small cut or blister can become infected without proper attention. This is why it is crucial to seek treatment for any foot issues promptly and to be vigilant about preventative care. With regular appointments and a focus on preventative care, diabetic patients can avoid many foot-related complications and maintain optimal foot health.
