What is Diabetic Foot?
Diabetic foot is a significant concern and causes severe complications in people with diabetes. A long term hyperglycemia can damage the nerves and reduce the blood flow in the foot. As a consequence of this injury, the patient fails to feel cuts or blisters, ultimately causing a loss of feeling. In such conditions, it takes time to recover and heal from the wounds, which increases the chances of infections and ulcers. Hence, early detection and immediate treatment are necessary to avoid severe consequences, or they can even result in amputation.
Symptoms of Diabetic Foot
- Pain or numbness in the foot
- Irritation or a scorching feeling
- A foot or ankle swollen
- Radical shifts in body temperature or pigmentation
- Conditions characterized by delayed wound healing, such as blisters, ulcers, or sores
- The risk of infection from cuts and wounds
- Non-healing ulcers
Treatments we offer
Charcot Reconstruction
Charcot foot is a form of neuroarthropathy in which the foot’s bone structure weakens. Finally, it breaks due to significant nerve damage, most often induced by diabetes. As far as foot stabilization and repair procedures, OrthoCare Ahmedabad provides Charcot reconstruction surgery. It’s common to fuse joints, realign bones, and repair fractures to get everything back to normal.
Internal and External Offloading of Bone for Chronic Non-Healing Ulcer
To alleviate pressure on the injured area and promote healing, external offloading procedures involve orthotics, braces, or casts to redirect weight away from the ulcer. Internal offloading includes bony bump excision surgeries. This treatment is implied in the conditions to treat chronic non-healing ulcers, commonly called open sores, because they are prone to infection and do not heal properly.

General Treatment for Diabetic Foot
Our health experts can assist you with any complications related to your diabetic foot pain. To be on the safe side, one should always undergo regular checkups. You should always maintain hygiene by regularly cleaning and dressing the wounds to avoid infections. Debridement is used to remove dead or diseased tissues. Antibiotics are the medications used to treat infections for patients suffering from diabetic feet. Diabetic patients are always advised to maintain their blood sugar levels. For some severe abnormalities or infections in the bones, surgery is a must.
Recovery
Recovery from Diabetic foot problems entirely depends on the severity and treatment. If you are facing such troubles, you should see your doctor more often. Strictly follow the treatment plan suggested by your doctor and take medications on time. Tracking your blood sugar level is a must.
Next comes wound care, which is again a significant factor in the recovery from Diabetic foot ulcers. Physical therapy can help restore strength and function in your feet. Making lifestyle changes, like wearing the right shoes and practicing good foot hygiene, is essential to prevent future problems and support recovery.
