Experiencing foot pain? Diabetes sufferers should take extra care of their feet due to the involvement of nerve endings which the disease attacks. This can lead to peripheral nerve damage where the patient is unable to feel their toes or has a pins and needles feeling.
If you do suffer from diabetes you should refrain from walking barefoot and be extra careful if you cut yourself as tissue repair usually takes longer and you will be more prone to infection. Because of this, diabetes sufferers should regularly examine their feet to uncover any problems straight away. At Tony Gregory Chiropodist Ltd we can soothe the pain and treat foot infections giving you professional advice and assistance.
