At the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona, we know how important your feet are. If you have diabetes, foot care is not just helpful—it’s a must. That’s why many people trust Podiatry Scottsdale AZ with their foot health. We are here to help, listen, and give expert care.

Let’s talk about why so many people in the Scottsdale area trust us for diabetic foot care.

What Is Diabetic Foot Care?

Diabetes can hurt your feet over time. You might lose feeling or have slow-healing cuts. Sometimes, you may not even feel a cut or sore on your foot. That can lead to infections and more problems.

Doctors who treat foot problems are called podiatrists. A podiatric foot and ankle surgeon like Dr. Kris A. DiNucci can help stop small foot issues from becoming big ones.

Why it matters:

• Up to 34% of people with diabetes will get a foot ulcer.
• Nearly 85% of diabetes-related amputations start with foot ulcers. Source: American Diabetes Association

At Podiatry Scottsdale AZ, we help catch problems early. That means less worry and fewer trips to the hospital.

How We Help Your Feet Stay Healthy

At the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona, we offer smart and simple care. We look at your whole health, not just your feet. Here’s what we do:

1. Regular Foot Checks

We look at your feet closely. We check your skin, nails, and blood flow. We also test how much you can feel in your feet. This helps us spot problems before they get worse.

“Early detection is key. Many diabetic foot issues can be avoided with regular visits,” says Dr. DiNucci.

2. Treating Wounds Right Away

If you have a sore or cut, we treat it fast. We clean it, protect it, and help it heal. We use tools like special shoes or wraps to take pressure off the sore spot.

We want you to know how to care for your feet at home. We teach you how to wash, dry, and check your feet every day. We also help you pick the best shoes and socks.
