Numbness or Loss of Feeling
Reduced sensation that lets a cut or blister go unnoticed until it becomes a problem.
Podiatric Care
Diabetic Foot Care in Clifton, NJ
Regular podiatric checks that catch small foot problems early and protect your feet, from a board-certified podiatrist.
When you have diabetes, a small foot problem can turn serious quickly, so a little attention goes a long way.
Diabetes can reduce feeling and circulation in the feet, which means cuts, sores, and pressure spots can go unnoticed until they become a real problem. Regular podiatric checks catch those issues early, while they are still easy to treat. If you have burning, tingling, or numbness, that can be a sign of peripheral neuropathy, and it is one more reason to keep a close eye on your feet.

Good Questions
Diabetic foot care, answered.
How often should someone with diabetes get a foot check?
For most people with diabetes, a professional foot exam once a year is the baseline, and more often if you have neuropathy, poor circulation, or a history of sores. We will set a schedule that fits your risk and check your feet at every visit.
Why does diabetic foot care matter so much?
Diabetes can reduce feeling and circulation in the feet, so a small cut, blister, or pressure spot can go unnoticed and turn into a serious wound. Regular checks catch these problems early, when they are easy to treat.
What should I watch for at home between visits?
Look over your feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, or changes in the nails and skin. Check the soles and between the toes, use a mirror if needed, and call us if you notice anything that is not healing.
Can you coordinate with my primary doctor or endocrinologist?
Yes. Diabetic foot care works best as part of your overall diabetes management, and we are happy to share findings and coordinate with your primary doctor or endocrinologist so everyone is on the same page.
