We also offer physical therapy for patients with diabetic foot syndrome in the form of 30-minut consultation sessions with our specialized medical professionals.
Diabetic foot syndrome is a serious complication that may result in permanent disability. Diabetic complications may begin with mobility problems, and may ultimately lead to foot amputation. Early diagnosis and therapy can prevent such serious consequences of diabetic foot syndrome, whereas foot amputation is always an intervention of last resort. Comprehensive therapy of diabetic foot syndrome may include diabetes therapy, surgical procedures, and the use of orthopedic inserts fitted by a podiatrist.
Physical therapy in diabetic foot syndrome is focused on restoring the range of motion and improving locomotion. A full range of joint mobility allows for correctly customized shoe inserts and reduced complications from an uneven load of the feet. A podiatrist examines the magnitude of loads applied to the foot using a dedicated device and computer software, and refers patients to a physical therapy consultation to establish an individual rehabilitation plan. A physical therapist recommends appropriate exercises to achieve long-lasting improvement. Physical procedures can also be added to this comprehensive treatment to improve blood circulation and stimulate the healing of tissues in diabetic foot syndrome.
