Diabetic Foot Care Physiotherapy
Advanced Diabetic Foot Care at DakshinRehab
What is diabetic foot care? Diabetic foot care is specialized prevention and treatment to protect feet from ulcers, infections, and amputation in people with diabetes. Problem: Diabetes damages nerves and blood vessels in your feet. You might not feel cuts, blisters, or pressure points until they become serious wounds. A small ulcer can lead to infection, gangrene, and amputation if not treated promptly. Agitate: The constant fear of losing your foot. The frustration of not being able to walk without worry. The overwhelming medical appointments and wound care routines. The devastating reality that a simple cut could change your life forever. What services do we provide? Solution: DakshinRehab's comprehensive diabetic foot care program in Moosapet, Hyderabad combines plantar pressure mapping to identify high-risk areas, custom offloading footwear to redistribute pressure, preventive screening to catch problems early, and RPMS therapy for neuropathy pain relief. We create personalized care plans that keep you mobile and active while protecting your feet. What technology do we use? Our advanced assessment includes <a href="/services/assessment-analysis">3D gait analysis</a> and pressure mapping to visualize exactly where your feet are under stress. This data guides custom insole and footwear design. How do we prevent complications? We don't wait for ulcers to develop—we prevent them through regular screenings, pressure offloading, and education. Your feet are precious. Protect them with expert care.
How Our Diabetic Foot Care Program Works
- Plantar pressure mapping to identify ulcer risk zones
- Custom total-contact insoles and diabetic footwear
- Preventive screening and regular foot assessments
- RPMS therapy for neuropathy pain and circulation
- 3D gait analysis to correct walking patterns
- Education on daily foot care and self-monitoring

"Prevention is always better than treatment. Regular pressure mapping assessments and custom offloading footwear can prevent 70-80% of diabetic foot ulcers when implemented early."
Our Diabetic Foot Care Protocol
A systematic approach to diabetic foot care—from risk assessment and prevention to ulcer management and long-term maintenance—ensures comprehensive protection for your feet.
Comprehensive Risk Assessment
We conduct thorough neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, foot deformity evaluation, and pressure mapping to identify your individual risk factors. A detailed medical history helps us understand your diabetes management and previous foot complications.
Pressure Mapping & Gait Analysis
Using advanced GaitScan pressure mapping and 3D gait analysis, we visualize exactly where your feet experience excessive pressure during walking. This data identifies high-risk zones that need offloading before ulcers develop.
Custom Offloading Solutions
Based on pressure mapping results, we prescribe and fabricate custom total-contact insoles, diabetic footwear, or CROW walkers (for Charcot foot). We verify pressure reduction with follow-up mapping and adjust until risk zones are adequately offloaded.
Ongoing Monitoring & Education
Regular follow-up assessments every 3-6 months verify offloading effectiveness and catch problems early. We provide comprehensive education on daily foot care, skin inspection, footwear selection, and recognizing warning signs that require immediate medical attention.
Diabetic Foot Care Treatment Phases
Our evidence-based diabetic foot care program progresses through four phases—risk assessment, prevention, ulcer management, and long-term maintenance—to protect your feet and preserve mobility.
Phase 1: Risk Assessment & Screening
Comprehensive neuropathy testing (monofilament, vibration sense), vascular assessment (pulses, skin temperature), foot deformity evaluation, and medical history review. We classify your risk level (low, moderate, high) and create a personalized prevention plan.
Phase 2: Pressure Mapping & Custom Solutions
GaitScan pressure mapping identifies high-pressure zones during walking. We design custom total-contact insoles and diabetic footwear to redistribute pressure away from vulnerable areas. Follow-up mapping verifies >30% pressure reduction in risk zones.
Phase 3: Ulcer Management (if present)
For existing ulcers, we provide offloading using total-contact casts, CROW walkers, or custom footwear modifications. We coordinate with podiatrists and vascular specialists for wound care, debridement, and infection management. RPMS therapy improves circulation to accelerate healing.
Phase 4: Long-term Prevention & Maintenance
Regular reassessments every 3-6 months monitor changes in pressure patterns, footwear wear, and new risk factors. We adjust insoles and footwear as needed, provide ongoing education, and coordinate with your diabetes care team for comprehensive management.
Why Diabetic Foot Care is Critical
Diabetes damages peripheral nerves (neuropathy) and blood vessels (vascular disease) in your feet. Neuropathy means you might not feel injuries—a small cut, blister, or pressure point can become a serious wound without warning. Poor circulation slows healing and increases infection risk. Plantar pressure mapping reveals that diabetics often have 2-3 times higher pressure in certain foot areas compared to healthy individuals. This excessive pressure, combined with neuropathy and poor circulation, creates the perfect storm for ulcers. However, research shows that preventive offloading reduces ulcer risk by 70-80%. Our comprehensive program combines pressure mapping, custom footwear, RPMS therapy for circulation, and patient education to prevent complications before they start.
Example:
Clinical evidence: Patients with diabetic neuropathy who received custom offloading footwear based on pressure mapping showed 75% reduction in ulcer recurrence over 12 months compared to standard diabetic footwear. Pressure mapping identified risk zones that standard assessments missed.
