Help for Diabetic Podiatry Concerns
If you have diabetes, you have particular podiatric concerns: Diabetes can damage the nerve endings and blood vessels and lessen your ability to fight infection. Working with local podiatrists, the Mary Greeley Medical Center Diabetes and Nutrition Education Center can help diagnose and treat any diabetes-related podiatry concerns you may have.
Podiatry Help for Wounds
Podiatrists are also essential specialists at the Mary Greeley Medical Center Wound Healing Clinic. At the Clinic, patients can find treatment for podiatry-related wounds that have a difficult time healing.
