Foot Solutions
Your Partner in Diabetic Foot Health
Each year the complications of diabetes cause more amputations
than any other disease. However these amputations don’t just happen.
They are a building process. In fact the American Orthopedic Foot
and Ankle Society states that 85% of all forefoot disorders are caused
by improperly fitting shoes.
As you know for our diabetes patients, those problems can be exacerbated
due to circulatory insufficiency. The majority of foot/toe/leg amputations
for diabetes patients are due to problems that simply started with
a blister/ulcer caused by improperly fitted shoes/socks, and could
have been prevented. Most people have not been properly informed about
the role of footwear and have not been provided with resources for
the best footwear solutions.
We provide the best and most current information on appropriate footwear,
as well as techniques on adjusting and modifying footwear to the individual
patient.
Our staffs are trained in appropriate diabetes treatment modes, footwear
and orthosis selection, fitting requirements for diabetic patients,
and proper application of footwear and orthosis to achieve maximum
compliance and efficacy. We take it to the next level by making adjustment
to accommodate individual issues and problems. Foot Solutions is an
authorized Medicare provider.
