Diabetic Foot Care is Our Specialty
Diabetes can have debilitating effects on patients’ extremities, especially the feet. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy. Patients who have developed diabetic neuropathy are prone to ulcers that may lead to amputations. The American Diabetes Association reports that 50% – 70% of all non-traumatic amputations occur in patients with diabetes. Some ulcers are related to improper footwear and foot support. Many diabetes related foot injuries and amputations can be prevented through orthopedic solutions.
US Congress amended the Medicare statues to provide coverage, effective May 1, 1993, under Medicare Part B coverage for depth shoes, custom molded shoes and foot orthoses to qualifying diabetic patients.
