Diabetic Foot Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Why feet are at risk

High blood sugar over years damages nerves, especially in the feet. You may not feel a blister, a cut or a stone in your shoe. Circulation can also reduce, so wounds heal slowly and infections spread more easily. Changes in foot shape from nerve damage create pressure points.

Daily foot care

Check your feet every day, including between the toes and the soles; use a mirror or ask a family member. Wash and dry carefully, moisturise but not between toes, and cut nails straight across. Never walk barefoot, even at home. Check inside shoes before wearing them.

Any wound, redness, swelling or warmth needs prompt attention from your doctor or diabetes team.

What physiotherapy offers

We assess sensation, circulation signs, balance and walking. Reduced sensation increases fall risk, so balance training can be important. Safe exercise for blood sugar control, strength and circulation is planned around your foot health, often favouring cycling, swimming or seated exercise when ulcer risk is high.

Footwear advice is practical: well-fitted shoes with a wide toe box, no internal seams and cushioning. Specialist footwear may be needed for deformities.
