Foot pain and foot infections are high risk for diabetes sufferors and cause an immense amount of trouble due to wounds and ulcers. The amount of pain faced by the diabetics due to their foot complications is many times greater than the pain suffered by an average person. This pain is known as “sensitive pain” where the patient can become so sensitive that even a small amount of skin contact or even rubbing of sheets over the feet can result in pangs of pain. Certain times, the patient can also feel numbness, tingling, burning, and even stabbing pain.
Discomfort associated with diabetic foot
In extreme cases, when regular treatment is not followed, a high blood sugar level can damage nerves as well as blood vessels, including the ones in your feet and legs. This can cause loss of sensation in legs and feet leaving you unaware of ulcers and infections.
In very severe cases this can lead to removal of infected areas or amputation.
Podiatrists are foot experts who specialise in treating lower limbs and feet. They are professional and highly trained with the knowledge of diagnosing, managing, and handling all sorts of foot problems, especially foot ulcers and joint pain due to diabetes.
If you or any of your loved ones are diabetic and suffering from foot pain, then you must immediately seek help. Even a slight sting or numbness of feet is an indication that something is wrong and you need to get treatment quickly.
A podiatrist will not only examine your foot correctly but will also conduct a biometric assessment to check out whether your infection, ulcer or even slight pain is going to affect other parts of your body like your limbs, thighs, and hips.

I had a wonderful experience at Healthpoint Podiatry with Dr. Ibrahim. From the moment I arrived, the office staff was friendly and efficient, making the consultation a breeze. Dr. Ibrahim was professional, thorough, and took the time to listen to all my concerns. He explained my condition and treatment options in detail, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable throughout the visit. The treatment plan he recommended has already made a noticeable difference, and I’m grateful for his expertise. I highly recommend Dr. Ibrahim and Healthpoint Podiatry for anyone in need of expert foot care.
Patient
Fantastic service privider. I saw 3 doctors and was on 4 different antibiotics, I was advised to take anti fungus medication for 12months, but after weeks of pain I thought I'll see one more doctor, just to get another opinion. Dr Ibrahim advised to remove my toenail immediately, so we did the same day. Since than, the infection and pain went away! Thank you for your advice and support!
Patient
Dr Ibrahim is hands down the kindest ,extremely caring podiatrist. The care he showed my young son who had a very stubborn painful ingrown toenail was amazing. The best podiatrist ever
