What Symptoms Does A Podiatrist Treat?

While focusing on managing insulin and blood sugar levels, dealing with diabetes calls for care for the whole body. One area that is frequently affected is the feet. Often due to related nerve damage or blood circulation issues, those with diabetes should take extra care of their feet. Our podiatrist in Great Neck is dedicated to improving foot health and supporting healing. PRINE Health is here for you!

Diabetic Foot Complications

Some of the most common foot complications seen in those with diabetes include:

Neuropathy

Neuropathy, a form of nerve damage, prevents individuals from feeling sensations such as pain, heat, or cold. Due to this, people may not detect other issues, such as blisters or improper footwear. These small issues can become serious over time.

Poor Blood Flow

Similar to neuropathy, poor circulation is a common symptom of diabetes that may lead to even more complications. Due to diabetes making the blood vessels of the feet narrower and harder, blood has a harder time flowing through the area. This can make fighting infection or healing from a complication more difficult for the feet.

Calluses

Diabetes often increases callus development. Calluses, whether untreated or improperly treated, can lead to ulcers.

Ulcers

Diabetes may lead to the development of ulcers on the feet, often beneath the big toe or the ball of the foot. Whether or not an ulcer is painful, all should receive immediate medical attention. If ulcers are continually walked on, they may become infected. Poor circulation could also make this infection harder to fight.

Amputations

Neuropathy and poor circulation increase the risk of infection of the feet. If these infections become too severe, amputation may be necessary.

Skin Conditions

Diabetes may lead to dryness and cracking of the feet. Moisturizing is important, but too much moisture left between the toes can lead to infection.

Proper Foot Care

To keep your feet safe with diabetes, be sure to provide them with proper care. You should visit our podiatrist in Great Neck regularly, as well as maintain appropriate upkeep. This includes washing, moisturizing, and checking your feet. You should also choose proper footwear.

Meet The Providers

Patient Experience

As a patient of Dr. David Sands for over 15 years. He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and uses the latest technology when treating his patients, something that other doctors are not. I highly recommend him if you have issues with your feet.

Kristen R.

My son had an ingrown toenail and we needed an urgent appointment. We were seen on the same day. The receptionists were very welcoming and friendly and we saw the doctor within a few minutes. The doctor was friendly, competent, diagnosed the problem correctly, and operated very diligently. Extremely pleased and highly recommended.

Jonathan H.

Dr. Sands is an outstanding Podiatrist. He is professional, courteous, a gentleman and extremely interested in the health of his patients. David is most accommodating and doesn't make patients wait a long time to be seen. His office staff is equally as polite and welcoming and they all run a 5 Star practice.

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.
