DIABETIC FOOT TREATMENT IN MARKHAM

Living with diabetes means taking extra precautions, especially when it comes to the health of your feet. Over time, fluctuating blood sugar levels can lead to significant nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) and poor blood circulation. This combination makes it incredibly difficult to feel minor cuts, blisters, or pressure points, and severely slows down the body’s natural healing process. At Form & Function Markham, our registered Chiropodists specialize in comprehensive diabetic foot care, focusing entirely on early detection and vital prevention.

A minor foot issue can quickly escalate into a serious complication—such as a non-healing diabetic ulcer or a severe infection—if left untreated. Regular, professional foot assessments are crucial. We provide meticulous, medical-grade care in a completely sterile clinical environment, ensuring that your nails, skin, and lower limb circulation are expertly managed and thoroughly protected.

Our proactive, specialized approach to diabetic foot care is designed to keep you mobile and complication-free. Our services include:

• • Comprehensive Neuropathy Screening: Regularly testing your nerve function and sensation to detect the earliest signs of peripheral neuropathy and prevent unnoticed injuries.

  • Medical Nail & Callus Care: Safe, sterile trimming of thickened, difficult nails and the painless reduction of hard corns and calluses to eliminate dangerous pressure points that often lead to ulcers.

  • Diabetic Ulcer Prevention & Wound Care: Immediate, expert clinical treatment for slow-healing sores or wounds, utilizing advanced sterile dressings and offloading techniques to promote safe, rapid recovery.

  • Vascular (Circulation) Assessments: Carefully evaluating the blood flow and circulation in your lower extremities to ensure your foot tissues are receiving the oxygen and nutrients necessary to heal.

  • Custom Diabetic Footwear & Orthotics: Prescribing specialized, seamless, extra-depth diabetic shoes and soft-accommodative custom orthotics to protect highly sensitive feet from dangerous friction and pressure.
