BV Foot Clinic: Winter Can Be the Kicker for Diabetics



                                                                               Winter Can Be the Kicker for Diabetics

While diabetics must always worry about keeping their feet healthy, winter is the kicker, as the cold weather can cause dry, cracked skin, which can trigger infections. If you have diabetes, dry your feet thoroughly after washing them, and check every day, for blisters, sores, or other problems; and wear thickly-padded footwear to keep your feet warm and dry, along with soft, thick, absorbent socks. Better yet, stay a step ahead of winter foot problems, and let us give you an exam, and a customized foot care program.

BV Foot Clinic: Get the Right Diagnosis and Treatment



                                                                                    Get the Right Diagnosis and Treatment

If it feels like there's a pebble in your shoe, but there's not, it may be a neuroma, a thickening of the nerve tissue between the metatarsal bones.

Of course, we have many effective treatments; but equally important is our advanced equipment that lets us distinguish between neuromas and conditions with similar symptoms, including stress fractures, which can be difficult to detect with standard X-rays. So, if you have any foot discomfort, see us for the right diagnosis and treatment.
