Diabetes is a lifelong, chronic disease and if it is poorly-controlled, it can cause long-term damage to the body -- including feet. Elevated blood glucose levels, over time, can damage sensory nerves in feet. Without these sensations, it is easy to develop injuries to the skin, soft tissue, bones and joints of the foot. Unnoticed and untreated, even small foot injuries, such as blisters or cuts, can quickly become infected and lead to serious complications. For these reasons, it is important for people with diabetes to practice proper foot care. This includes having their feet checked regularly by a Registered Chiropodist. The Oakville Hospital Footcare and Orthotic Centre is owned and operated by the local hospital -- all net proceeds from the centre help support hospital programs. A highly-trained team consisting of Registered Chiropodists, Registered Practical Nurses, and a professional shoe fitter work together to provide the best care for patients' feet. The Oakville Hospital Footcare and Othotic Centre, located at 461 North Service Rd. W., Unit 27B, offers a variety of services, including: · Foot assessments with customized treatment plans · Diabetic and arthritic foot care · Treatment for corns, calluses Diabetes can cause long-term damage to your feet and ingrown toenails · Custom-made orthotics and orthopedic footwear · Compression stockings · Reflexology -- a form of massage used to relieve tension and treat illnesses, and based on the theory that are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body. The footcare centre will also be holding its third annual summer shoe sale next week. It will feature a large selection of high-end footwear, including many that are orthopedic-friendly, as well as shoes and sandals for men, women and children. The summer shoe sale will be held in the Oakville hospital auditorium, located at 327 Reynolds St., from Monday, July 9-Wednesday, July 11 -- cash sales will only be accepted and all sales are final.
