Foot infections are one of the most common reasons for hospitalization if you are a diabetic patient. Diabetic foot care is very important and finding the right person to provide care is an equally important task. If you are located in Manhattan, NYC and don't know where to turn, Dr. Steven Landman, DPM would like to help you find the necessary treatment for your feet. He is an integral part of the Family Foot Care Group.
The two main causes of foot problems for diabetic patients include nerve damage, and loss of circulation. Nerve damage can be prevented by frequently visiting the doctor and examining your feet every day. Nerve damage in the feet can cause loss of feeling, toe deformities, collapse of the foot arch and dry skin. Loss of circulation is another threat to the health of your feet. There are many medications available that can improve circulation. If you are concerned about the circulation in your feet, then you should visit a foot doctor immediately. Gangrene and amputation may be the necessary if you don't take care of these conditions right away.
Some of the danger signs to look for if you are a diabetic patient include:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Blisters
- Cuts, Scratches or Bleeding
- Nail Problems
