DIABETIC FOOT CARE IN CHILLICOTHE, OHIO

Diabetes affects your feet in several critical ways. High blood sugar damages nerves (neuropathy) and blood vessels (peripheral vascular disease), making your feet vulnerable to injuries, infections, and slow healing. Over 80,000 amputations are performed annually in the US due to diabetic foot complications—most of which are preventable with proper care.

Diabetic foot risks include:

• Loss of sensation (you may not feel cuts, blisters, or infections)
• Reduced blood flow (wounds heal slowly or not at all)
• Increased infection risk (even minor wounds can become serious)
• Foot deformities (Charcot foot, hammertoes)
• Skin and nail changes

Dr. Storts provides comprehensive diabetic foot management focused on prevention and early intervention:

• Comprehensive Foot Exams: Regular assessments of sensation, circulation, and skin integrity
• Wound Care: Advanced wound management for diabetic ulcers and non-healing wounds
• Custom Diabetic Orthotics: Pressure-relieving insoles to prevent ulcer formation
• Diabetic Shoe Fitting: Proper therapeutic footwear recommendations
• Neuropathy Management: Advanced treatments to address nerve damage
• Vascular Assessment: Evaluation of blood flow to the feet

Please note: Our practice specializes in medical and surgical podiatric care, wound management, and advanced treatments—not routine diabetic nail cutting.

If you have diabetes, regular podiatric care is essential—not optional. Dr. Storts helps you stay ahead of complications through proactive monitoring and prompt treatment when issues arise.
