Diabetic Foot Rehabilitation focuses on preventing and managing foot complications arising from diabetes. High blood glucose levels can lead to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, increasing the risk of foot ulcers and infections.
Common Foot Complications in Diabetes:
- Diabetic Neuropathy: Loss of sensation, leading to unnoticed injuries
- Foot Ulcers: Open sores due to poor healing
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow causing slow wound healing
- Charcot Foot: Joint and bone damage leading to deformities
- Infections: Increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections
Our Approach:
- Foot Care Education: Guidance on hygiene, footwear choices, and daily inspections.
- Balance and Gait Training: To prevent falls and improve mobility.
- Strengthening Exercises: To support foot and leg muscles.
- Pressure Offloading Techniques: To aid in ulcer healing and prevent recurrence
- Circulation Improvement Strategies: Gentle exercises to enhance blood flow
Our comprehensive diabetic foot care programs aim to prevent complications, enhance mobility, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.
