Diabetic Foot Treatment in Ahmedabad
For diabetics, a simple cut, callus, or blister can quickly deteriorate into a deep bone infection (Osteomyelitis) and eventual amputation. At Dhimahi, we perform specialized limb-salvage surgeries, custom offloading, and aggressive debridement to correct the underlying cause.
Diabetic Foot Symptoms
- Loss of sensation (Neuropathy): Inability to feel heat, cold, or small wounds.
- Poor circulation (Ischemia): Cold feet, thin skin, slower healing.
- Callus & Cracks: Thick skin build-up harboring hidden infections underneath.
Diabetic Foot Care: 5 Rules You Must Follow
Don't Cut Nails Alone
Diabetic nails are thick and brittle. Cutting them at home can cause deep, non-healing wounds.
Never Walk Barefoot
Loss of sensation stops you from feeling hot floors or punctures. Wear silicon socks at home.
Avoid Tight Shoes
Tight or pointed footwear creates blisters. Wear soft floaters or custom arch support crocs.
No Self-Medication
Taking unprescribed antibiotics makes bacteria resistant, rendering future infections hard to treat.
No Hot Water Bags
Neuropathic feet cannot gauge heat. Hot water bags can cause third-degree burns without warning.
Our Surgical Debridement & Offloading Approach
Dr. Apurva Agarwal maps out vascular blood flow using Doppler and Angiography to ensure the tissue is viable. We perform radical debridement—completely removing infected bone and skin—to create a clean site. Then, we apply custom total contact offloading casts or orthotics to shield the foot from bearing weight while healing.
