Yes, We Treat Diabetic Feet and Here’s Why It Matters
People often search online for one simple question: “Do you treat diabetic feet?” The short answer is yes—and at our Whitby clinic, diabetic foot care is one of the most important parts of what we do.
Living with diabetes means your feet need consistent attention, proactive monitoring, and expert care. Diabetes can quietly affect the nerves and blood vessels in your feet, making it harder to feel injuries and slower for wounds to heal. Even small problems can escalate quickly if they’re not caught early.
Our goal is to help you stay active, independent, and confident in your foot health.

Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Essential
Diabetes can lead to:
- Reduced sensation (neuropathy)
- Poor circulation
- Slow‑healing wounds
- Higher risk of infections
- Increased risk of ulcers and amputations
Research shows that hospital visits for diabetic foot complications are rising, and many people still miss essential foot screenings. Regular monitoring is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious issues.
How We Care for Diabetic Feet
Our approach focuses on risk reduction, early detection, and preventative treatment. We provide:
1. Comprehensive Foot Assessments
We examine your skin, nails, circulation, and sensation to identify risks before they become problems.
2. Ongoing Monitoring
Because diabetic feet can change quickly, regular check‑ins help us catch issues early.
3. Treatment for Common Diabetic Foot Concerns
Including corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, fungal nails, cracked skin, and pressure points.
4. Education & Prevention
We teach you what to watch for, how to care for your feet daily, and when to seek help.
5. Support for Overall Diabetes Management
Healthy feet start with healthy blood sugar control. We reinforce the importance of medical follow‑up, proper footwear, and daily foot checks.
Simple Daily Habits That Protect Your Feet
- Check your feet every day for cuts, redness, swelling, or blisters
- Wash and dry thoroughly—especially between the toes
- Wear properly fitted, protective footwear
- Never ignore changes, even small ones
- Ask for a foot exam at every medical visit
These small steps dramatically reduce the risk of complications.
