DIABETIC FOOT TREATMENTS
WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is when the body lacks the ability to remove Blood Sugar (Glucose) from the blood stream. An individual who is diabetic will take Insulin; a protein designed to aid in the removal of Glucose from the blood stream.
If an Individual is a Type 1 Diabetic, their ability to produce Insulin is either usually very reduced or lacking.
A type 2 Diabetic individual can produce Insulin but the body’s ability to use the Insulin for the purpose of removing Glucose from the blood stream becomes reduced, resulting result in high blood Glucose levels.
Though we need Glucose for energy production, too much of glucose can cause severe damage to multiple different types of tissue in the body.
Preventative Podiatric Care
A preventative podiatric care regimen is recommended to be able to detect early on any foot problem in patients with diabetics. This includes regular assessment of the both feet with debridement of calluses.
Diabetic Complications Treated
Diabetes can cause complications that affect the health of the feet. Conditions like nerve damage and poor circulation can cause loss of feeling in your feet which can lead to the inability to detect injuries to your feet. Additionally, these conditions can make it very difficult for injuries to heal.
Associated Foot Care Clinic, Inc. with Dr. James Leonard Knudson treats and manages diabetic foot conditions as well as the complications that arise from such as diabetic ulcers.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT FOOT CARE WLA
THE BEST IN THE
LOS ANGELES AREA
"I had some surgery for a minor skin cancer on my ankle which became infected and created a wound that would not heal. After a month of trying, the surgeon sent me to Dr. J. Knudson. He has many years of experience with stubborn cases. Gradually he used various forms of treatment until I was finally cured. How fortunate I was to have found him. I am now back to my previous activity and health. They deserve more than 5 stars."
THE BEST DOCTOR IN

Dr. Knudson x-rayed my foot right away and next thing you know, I had my schedule for my foot surgery! Everything went smooth, didn't feel pain at all. I fully recommend him."
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY FOOT DOCTOR
"My best friend recommended I see Dr. Knudson so I made an appointment and saw him. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going on with my feet and how my bone structure was affected by the shoes I was wearing. He took x-rays to determine the condition of my feet before making any suggestions for treatment. I became his client since my consultation and will be seeing him twice a week! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!"
