Diabetic Foot & Ankle Care
Healthy Steps Start with Diabetic Foot Care
Protecting Your Feet, Preserving Your Health
Living with diabetes means your feet need specialized attention to avoid serious complications like infections, wounds, nerve damage, and amputation. At SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors, we specialize in comprehensive diabetic foot and ankle care to keep you safe, mobile, and pain-free.
From preventive screenings and custom diabetic shoes to advanced wound care and neuropathy treatment, our Santa Monica and Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers locations offer personalized care backed by the latest technologies in diabetic limb preservation.
Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Critical
Diabetes affects the nerves (neuropathy) and blood vessels (vascular disease) in your feet, reducing sensation and circulation. Even minor injuries can go unnoticed and progress into serious infections, ulcers, or non-healing wounds that threaten limb loss.
Our podiatrists help you:
- Detect early warning signs
- Prevent diabetic foot ulcers
- Manage neuropathy and circulation issues
- Avoid hospitalization or amputation
- Stay mobile and independent
