Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at admin@llfootclinic.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Why can't I just clip my own toenails or use over-the-counter corn removers?

Diabetic neuropathy can cause you to accidentally clip your skin without feeling it, while over-the-counter acid corn removers can burn fragile diabetic skin. Because poor circulation slows healing, these minor accidents can develop into serious, infected wounds.

How often should a diabetic see a Chiropodist?

Diabetes Canada recommends regular professional foot assessments for people with diabetes. For most patients — and especially those with higher-risk factors like numbness, poor circulation, or recurring calluses — we typically recommend foot care visits every 6 to 8 weeks, with the schedule based on your individual risk assessment.

What is the difference between a diabetic foot check and a normal foot appointment?

A diabetic appointment focuses on neurological and vascular health. It includes a neurological and vascular assessment, monofilament testing, and a check of pressure points that can contribute to ulcers, with an emphasis on preventative care.

Do you communicate with my family physician?

Yes. With your permission, treatment reports may be communicated to your family physician or endocrinologist as needed, to support coordinated care.
