DIABETIC FOOT CARE
D
iabetes can quietly affect the nerves and blood vessels in your feet, turning small issues into serious problems without warning. That’s why regular diabetic foot care is essential to prevent ulcers, infections, and amputations.
At Advanced Foot Care USA, we provide comprehensive foot exams that assess circulation, skin, and nerve changes; targeted neuropathy testing to check for sensation loss; footwear evaluations with clear shoe recommendations; and routine nail and skin care to prevent injury. We also manage calluses and pressure points that can lead to wounds, and we teach practical, daily self-checks and safe habits you can follow at home. This proactive approach matters: about one in five people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime, and consistent exams with early, evidence-based care can reduce amputation risk by as much as 80%—helping you stay active, independent, and protected.
What diabetes does to feet?
-
Nerves (neuropathy): You may not feel pain, heat, or rubbing—so small blisters/skin breaks go unnoticed and become wounds.
-
Blood flow (circulation/PAD): Less oxygen reaches the skin, so injuries heal slower.
-
Pressure & shape changes: Calluses and deformities (bunions, hammertoes, collapsed arches) create “hot spots” that break down into ulcers.
Warning signs to watch for
-
Redness, warmth, new swelling, shiny/tight skin
-
Drainage, odor, or a sore that isn’t smaller week to week
-
Color change (pale/blue/black) or cold toes
-
Cracks/fissures, ingrown nails, new numbness/tingling
-
Shoes rubbing the same spot daily

WOUND HEALING
C
hronic wounds don’t just affect the skin — they impact your ability to move, work, and live independently. At Advanced Foot Care USA, we understand how non-healing wounds can disrupt every aspect of your life.
That’s why we take an evidence-based, team-centered approach to wound healing, combining advanced treatments with compassionate care to restore your health safely and efficiently.
​
Our goal is simple: to help you heal faster, stay healed longer, and prevent recurrence. Whether your wound is caused by diabetes, poor circulation, injury, or pressure, our specialists provide a comprehensive plan that targets the root cause—not just the surface.
Why it matters?
If a adoesn’t show at least 50% improvement within four weeks, it’s considered chronic and needs a higher level of care. Early, targeted intervention can drastically reduce your risk of infection, hospitalization, and amputation. Our team monitors every detail to ensure you heal safely and completely—because every week of progress counts.

LIMB PRESERVATION
L
imb preservation focuses on identifying and treating foot and leg conditions before they become limb-threatening. For individuals with diabetes, circulation issues, or chronic wounds, early and coordinated care can
help reduce complications, improve healing potential, and support long-term mobility.
At Advanced Foot Care USA, our team provides careful evaluation, evidence-based treatment, and continuous monitoring for patients at risk of limb loss. We emphasize early detection, comprehensive wound management, and collaboration with vascular and primary care specialists to achieve the best possible outcomes for each individual.
Why Limb Preservation Matters?
Saving a limb is about more than walking, it’s about independence, safety, and longevity. Fast, team-based care reduces complications, hospitalizations, and the need for major surgery, while a strong prevention plan helps protect your health for years to come.
Who Needs Limb Preservation?
-
A wound that isn’t improving or is getting deeper
-
Spreading redness/warmth, drainage, or odor
-
Black/blue/pale skin or toes that feel cold
-
Severe pain (or, with neuropathy, sudden swelling without pain)
-
Known poor circulation (PAD), diabetes complications, or prior amputation
If you notice any of these, call us today. Early action can be the difference between a minor procedure and a major surgery.
What to Expect During Your Visit?
-
Listen & examine: We review your history, medications, and goals; check pulses, sensation, and the wound.
-
Plan & explain: You’ll leave with a clear plan, medication instructions, and home-care steps.
-
Act fast: If tests or referrals are needed, we help you get them without delay.
-
Track & adjust: We measure progress every visit; if healing stalls, we escalate early.

ORTHOTICS
O
rthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts designed to redistribute pressure, support proper alignment, and make walking safer and more comfortable. For individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, prior wounds, bunions, hammertoes,
plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or balance concerns, the right orthotic can reduce pressure points, friction, and uneven weight distribution that often lead to pain or skin breakdown.
Beyond comfort, orthotics play a vital role in preventing wounds, improving posture, and protecting the joints of the feet, knees, and hips. They help correct faulty biomechanics—how your foot moves with each step—so your body functions more efficiently and with less strain. Custom orthotics are especially important for people with diabetes or a history of ulcers, as they offload high-risk areas and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Why Orthotics Are Important?
Orthotics play an important role in redistributing weight and reducing pressure on vulnerable areas, especially for individuals with diabetes or neuropathy, where sensation is reduced, and minor friction can lead to wounds. By improving alignment, orthotics help absorb shock, stabilize gait, and correct posture, making every step more efficient and less painful.
Who Should Ask About Orthotics?
-
Anyone with diabetes/neuropathy who develops calluses or has uneven wear on shoes
-
Patients with recurrent plantar fasciitis or arch/heel pain
-
Individuals with toe deformities causing rubbing or corns
-
Anyone with a history of ulcer or recent healing who needs targeted offloading
What to Expect During Your Visit?
-
New redness, blisters, or skin irritation after wear
-
Persistent pain despite the break-in schedule
-
Visible wear that changes how the insert sits in the shoe
-
Changes in health (e.g., new wound, surgery) that may require a re-evaluation
