Treatment For Diabetic Foot Care in Port Angeles, WA
Living with diabetes means paying close attention to your health — and that includes your feet. Even small problems like calluses, blisters, or minor cuts can develop into serious complications if not properly managed. At Peninsula Foot and Ankle Clinic in Port Angeles, Dr. Austin Friswold provides specialized diabetic foot care designed to keep your feet healthy, prevent complications, and support your overall well-being.
Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Important
Diabetes can reduce blood flow and damage nerves in the feet, a condition known as peripheral neuropathy. This makes it harder to feel injuries and slows the healing process. Without the right care, simple issues may lead to infections, ulcers, or even more severe outcomes. Regular foot care is essential for avoiding these risks and maintaining mobility.
What to Expect From Diabetic Foot Care

- Thorough foot exams to detect changes early
- Wound care for ulcers or injuries
- Treatment for corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails
- Circulation and nerve health checks
- Personalized guidance on footwear, hygiene, and daily self-care
This proactive approach helps patients catch problems before they become more serious.
