Understanding diabetic neuropathy and Charcot foot, and how we help in Columbia.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that mostly affects the feet and legs. It can cause pain, tingling, or a loss of feeling. Charcot foot is a serious problem where weak, numb bones and joints break down and the foot changes shape.

Neuropathy is common in people who have had diabetes for years. Charcot often begins quietly, with a warm, swollen foot that may not hurt much. Early care can protect the foot from lasting damage.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat diabetic neuropathy and Charcot foot in Columbia.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We test how well you feel touch, vibration, and pressure, and check reflexes. For Charcot, we compare the warmth and swelling of both feet and look at foot shape. X-rays show bone changes, and an MRI may help when early Charcot or infection is hard to tell apart.

Step 2 · Treatment

For nerve symptoms, steady blood sugar control and daily foot checks are the base of care. We may suggest protective shoes and inserts for numb feet. Charcot needs strict protection, usually a cast or boot with no weight on the foot until it calms down. After that, custom bracing or shoes help protect the shape of the foot.

Surgery may be considered for Charcot when the foot is badly out of shape, unstable, or has repeated sores. Surgeons can realign and fuse bones, but this is done with great care.
