“At-Risk” Preventative Care

Protecting the Feet of Patients

Comprehensive Preventative Care for At-Risk Feet

Individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, or vascular disease are considered “at-risk” because even minor foot issues can lead to serious complications. Reduced sensation, poor circulation, and delayed healing increase the likelihood of infections, ulcers, and in severe cases, amputation. Consistent, proactive foot care is essential to prevent these outcomes and maintain overall health.

At Heartland Podiatry, we specialize in preventive care for high-risk patients, focusing on early detection and routine management. Our podiatrists perform detailed foot exams to identify skin changes, pressure points, or circulation issues before they progress into more serious problems.

Preventive treatment may include nail and callus care, protective footwear, diabetic inserts, and customized orthotics to reduce friction and improve balance. We also provide education on proper at-home care — including daily inspections, moisturizing routines, and guidance on when to seek professional help.
