🚨 Did You Know?
People with diabetes or vascular disease are at much higher risk for developing chronic wounds and ulcers β€” especially on the feet and legs.

Why?
βœ… Poor circulation
βœ… Nerve damage (neuropathy)
βœ… Slower immune response
βœ… Fragile, dry skin

These wounds can lead to serious infections or even amputations if not treated early. But the good news? Many of these issues are preventable.

πŸ” Check your feet daily
🧦 Wear proper shoes
🩺 See a specialist at the first sign of trouble
πŸ’‰ Keep blood sugar and blood pressure in check

PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease)

At Southwest Foot & Ankle, we believe in limb salvage and helping to improve circulation. In the office, we are able to test hands and feet for proper blood circulation. Especially those who are diabetic.

We use a non-invasive test that uses sensors on fingers and toes to assess arterial blood flow. This helps in the early diagnosis of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Our doctor will have results the same day, and will be able to discuss the results. The test is simple and can be done in office. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

For questions, or to set up an appointment, please give our office a call at (435) 628-5690.

The weather is warming up and it's time to get out and explore! The only problem is, your feet are not cooperating. They are hurting, and it seems difficult to walk at times.

You want to be active and enjoy travel and the outdoors, but need relief from the pain you are having. One of the causes could be Plantar Fasciitis.

Give our office a call, we even have some same day appointments available! (435) 628-5690
