It’s time to fight the affects of diabetes!

Diabetes related foot disorders impact the lives of millions of people each year. High levels of blood sugar can wreak havoc on the sensation and circulation of diabetic patients and lead to traumatic infections, and sometimes, the loss of limb.

At Breakthrough Podiatry, Bruce Williams, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, combats diabetic foot related disorders by using cutting edge pressure mapping technology. Patients with chronic, non-healing foot related pressure ulcerations can benefit from gait analysis and in-shoe pressure evaluation to reduce the stress of high pressure areas of the foot. By fine-tuning a patient’s foot function to equally balance the pressures from everyday walking, ulcerations and other threatening diabetic foot disorders can be greatly reduced. Breakthrough Podiatry provides the best in foot protection by prescribing custom foot orthotics for those suffering from diabetic neuropathy, loss of sensation in the feet, and poor blood circulation.
