Foot Care Clinic helps ensure healthy feet for patients — especially those with diabetes.

If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, there's something you must know. Foot problems are one of the top ten complications of diabetes. Neglecting your feet can lead to serious problems.

That's why we developed ProHealth Care's Foot Care Clinic. Our comprehensive resources help you combat foot problems so you can live the full, active life you desire. We also offer our services to patients without diabetes.

Are your feet at high risk?

If you have diabetes, your feet are at risk. Diabetes can reduce blood circulation and damage foot nerves. In fact, someone loses a leg to diabetes every 30 seconds, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

But it doesn't have to be this way. People can prevent up to 85 percent of diabetes related amputations by participating in foot care programs like ours, which include regular examinations. 

Watch for these foot conditions.

A foot problem that may seem minor to you can become serious, especially if you have diabetes. Look for these foot conditions, which may trigger a complication:

  • Corns and calluses
  • Blisters
  • Bunions
  • Ingrown toenails
  • Plantar warts
  • Dry, cracked or discolored skin
  • Hammertoes
  • Athlete's foot
  • Pain, throbbing, heat or swelling

Expert, specialized foot care.

Keeping your feet and skin healthy is key to preventing serious complications. Our Foot Care Clinic offers you expert clinicians and specialized services that include:

  • Comprehensive annual foot exams for people with diabetes.  Physician referral is required.
