One of the risk factors that recent research has shown, is that people with diabetes can often have a decreased range of motion in the joints.
This can increase the pressure under certain areas of the feet which increases the risk of injury to that tissue.
This risk will also be affected by the structural misalignments we all have and how your muscles and joints function.
4. Assessment of Your skin and nails condition
The tone of your skin, development of hard thick skin, (callous), or Infection between the toes, is more than just a nuisance for people with diabetes. These may indicate a more significant concern.
For example, a callous formation, such as seen in this picture, may well indicate high pressure occurring under areas that are not designed to tolerate them. This could lead to tissue injury.
In your assessment, we will thoroughly examine your feet for nail or skin problems. This information helps to build a clear picture so we can recommend strategies, not only to address any immediate concerns, but to actively work towards curing any conditions you may have and prevent them reoccurring.
