Protect What Keeps You Moving

When you’re living with diabetes, your feet need more than attention—they need protection. Poor circulation, nerve changes, and pressure points can lead to serious complications. But most issues can be prevented with the right support, footwear, and follow-up.

We help you stay one step ahead—with care that’s proactive, practical, and personal.

✅ How We Help

At our office, we offer tailored solutions to reduce risk and improve comfort:

  • Diabetic & therapeutic shoe fittings

  • Pressure-relief inserts and custom orthotics

  • Post-wound or post-amputation footwear guidance

  • Footwear modifications to prevent friction or shearing

  • Education on daily foot checks & skin care

Whether you're newly diagnosed or managing long-term complications, we provide education and support every step of the way.

📊 Why Foot Health Matters for Diabetes

Up to 1 in 4 people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer.  Proper footwear and offloading can reduce risk by over 50%. Many foot injuries occur silently without pain due to reduced sensation. That’s why regular screening, shoe evaluation, and early intervention are key.

Every 20 seconds, someone loses a limb due to diabetes-related complications. This doesn’t have to happen.

Key Facts:

  • 📉 34% of people with diabetes will face a foot ulcer in their lifetime

  • ⚠️ 20% of diabetic ulcers lead to amputation

  • 🧠 50% of neuropathy cases show no warning signs—patients may not feel injuries until it’s too late

  • 🔎 Proper exams and protective footwear can cut amputation risk by up to 50%

Why Local Action Counts: South Dallas, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster are disproportionately impacted by diabetes and underserved in preventive care. Every step toward education, referrals, and early intervention makes a difference.
