About The Podiatry
Podiatrist are highly trained in the examination, diagnosis and prevention of foot disorders by mechanical treatments. Biomechanics refers to an understanding of the mechanics in the body and podiatrists use this to diagnose and treat the lower limb disorders. There are many biomechanical investigations which podiatrist use, to help them assess and evaluate the patients they treat. A lot of biomechanics problems are treated with orthotics. These are custom made insoles specifically for each patient that aims to improve function and reduce symptoms. Podiatrist play a big part in keeping people mobile and make a real difference to their lives.

DIABETES AND FOOT CARE:
Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to blindness, kidney failure, stroke, heart attack and amputation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 340 million people around the globe will have diabetes by 2030. That's a significant increase from the 177 million people reported in 2000.
With injuries to the foot being one of the most common complications of diabetes leading to hospitalization, podiatrists play an important role in helping people deal with this disease. As the statistics below illustrate, we are experiencing a global pandemic of diabetes; good foot health care and actions that podiatrists can take to help control the disease. The following statistics point out the significant benefit of podiatrists being a part of good foot health care:
→ 346 million people worldwide have diabetes and it is estimated that the number of diagnosed diabetics will double between 2005 and 2030 (World Health Organization).
→ A person with diabetes is 10 times more likely to have an amputation;
→ 80% of non traumatic amputations are related to diabetes.
→ There is a 50% chance that the other leg will be amputated within 3-5 years after the first amputation.
→ Care by a podiatrist can lower the risk of hospitalization by 24% for those with diabetes.
→ A comprehensive podiatrist-directed foot care program can reduce the possibility of amputation by 85%.
DIABETIC FOOT ULCER:
A diabetic ulcer is breakdown of the skin on an area of the foot. An ulcer can develop quickly and may be painful and difficult to heal and infection is common complication. It is important to have an x-ray to determine whether there is any bone involvement when an ulcer is present.
