Findlay, OH, 01-Aug-2013 – Advanced Footcare Clinic and Dr. Thomas F. Vail, DPM, Findlay podiatrist, are pleased to announce that professional foot care is available for diabetic patients. The risk of injury to feet when diabetes is involved is particularly significant. Even a small break in the skin can result in deterioration and permanent damage. The condition of neuropathy reduces the ability of the patient to feel damage.
Speaking to an interviewer recently, Dr. Thomas Vail, Findlay podiatrist explained, "I provide comprehensive care for diabetic patients. The medical condition results in vulnerability to infection. When circulation is compromised, a minor scrape, bump or scratch may take longer to heal. The work I do with my patients includes education about daily care as well as primary care."
He continues, "We use our home pages to provide patients with much of the educational materials that you need as a diabetic patient. Daily care routines are defined, as well as identifying the times when the best approach is to schedule a consultation with my office. Therapy can involve corrective shoes, cleaning and nail care or other techniques."
Some of the significant techniques that help to avoid issues with diabetic feet include keeping the feet warm and dry. There should be caution in using heating pads, hot water or any other device that results in overheating the feet. Feet should not be soaked and there should be no antiseptic solutions used on the feet. In short, there should be no products used, including shoes, that would cause a break in the skin.
