Why Are Orthotics Different for Diabetic Patients?

3/29/2021

0 Comments

 
Many people with Diabetes have reduced circulation or sensation in their feet (called Neuropathy) and are not able to feel something in their shoe or even the shoe itself may irritate the feet.

They may have delayed healing and have possible changes in the bones of their feet which can cause friction with shoes resulting in irritation or even wounds. 

Orthotics for Diabetics are generally softer, full of cushioning, have a deeper shape to keep deformed areas from being irritated and are generally made from pink materials to monitor for ulcers.
Keep your feet healthy and protected.
