Diabetic Foot Conditions
Get foot examinations in order to maintain healthy feet and healthier future.
Diabetics are prone to poor circulation, have a weakened immune system and impaired nerve function in their feet. Due to poor circulation or lack of sensation after poor circulation, diabetic feet are more susceptible to developing sores, and non-healing wounds which may lead to ulcers. These wounds can also develop into serious infections which can lead to amputations, loss of limbs and even loss of life.
Neuropathy: With diabetes, you also have a good chance of developing peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms of this nerve disorder can be pain, numbness, tingling and burning sensation in your feet. Our Podiatry team recommends that you come in for a complete diabetic foot evaluation. Advance Foot & Ankle Solutions will use state-of-the-art technology to test and assess the circulation to your feet, and determine if you have neuropathy. We offer latest premium techology Laser Pain Therapy. Once the evaluation is complete, we will design a unique treatment plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Diabetic Foot Care
-
Diabetes can affect circulation, nerve function, and wound healing, increasing the risk of foot ulcers and infections. Regular podiatry examinations help identify problems before they become serious.
Dr. Sadhnani provides comprehensive diabetic foot evaluations, preventive care, and treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
-
Most people with diabetes should receive a comprehensive foot examination at least annually. Patients with neuropathy, poor circulation, previous ulcers, or other risk factors may need more frequent visits.
Dr. Sadhnani recommends an appropriate examination schedule based on each patient’s individual risk of complications.
-
Warning signs include numbness, tingling, swelling, redness, changes in skin color, blisters, sores, and wounds that heal slowly. Patients may not experience pain because of nerve damage. Prompt evaluation is essential, particularly when signs of infection or an open wound appear.
-
Many diabetic foot ulcers can be prevented through daily foot inspections, appropriate footwear, blood sugar management, and regular podiatric examinations. Identifying pressure points and treating calluses or minor injuries early can reduce risk. Custom orthotics or specialized diabetic footwear may provide additional protection when indicated.
-
If you have diabetes, avoid popping or cutting a blister yourself. Protect the area, minimize pressure, and contact your podiatrist promptly. Even small blisters can become infected or develop into ulcers, particularly when neuropathy or poor circulation affects normal sensation and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Neuropathy
-
Peripheral neuropathy often begins with tingling, burning, numbness, shooting pain, or unusual sensations in the feet. Some patients also experience balance problems or reduced sensitivity to temperature. Dr. Sadhnani evaluates these symptoms to identify possible nerve damage and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
-
Yes. Although diabetes is a common cause, peripheral neuropathy may also result from vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, nerve compression, autoimmune conditions, or other medical problems. Identifying the underlying cause is important because treatment varies. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine which diagnostic tests may be needed.
-
Whether neuropathy improves depends on its cause, severity, and duration. Some forms may improve when an underlying problem is treated, while others require ongoing symptom management. Early diagnosis can help prevent complications. Dr. Sadhnani develops individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s condition.
-
Neuropathy evaluation may include reviewing symptoms, testing sensation and reflexes, examining circulation, and assessing balance. Additional testing, including a skin biopsy for suspected small-fiber neuropathy, may be appropriate.
Dr. Sadhnani uses examination findings to identify nerve-related foot problems and guide further care
-
Diabetic neuropathy can reduce the ability to feel cuts, blisters, pressure, and injuries. Without normal protective sensation, minor problems may develop into serious ulcers or infections. Regular foot examinations, protective footwear, and early treatment help reduce complications and support long-term foot health..
