Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputations of the feet and lower limbs.? Without appropriate diabetic care from your medical professionals, diabetes can be a slippery slope to severe diabetic foot and lower limb problems.
If you believe you have diabetes or have been diagnosed with same, caring for your feet is one of the important aspect of your diabetic care.
Our job for the diabetic client is to help protect your feet from troublesome pressure or friction that can be associated with ill fitting shoes and inserts.
We help take away the pain and pressure, and make you more comfortable by matching your feet with well fitting shoes and inserts. Most insurance companies, including Medicare, will help pay for well fitting shoes and inserts for the at-risk diabetic patient. We accept Medicare, Humana, People's Health, and Workers Compensation.
If you believe you have diabetes, do yourself a favor. Contact your diabetic medical professional and make sure you are not one of the "foot at-risk" patients. According to current Medicare standards, "foot at-risk" may include, but is not limited to, a foot callous, a foot ulceration, abnormal foot redness or temperature, a toe bunion, or a foot deformity.
