podiatric management and patients with peripheral vascular disease

Podiatric managemet for people with peripheral vascular disease would include:
A complete evaluation an d assessment of the status of the circulation to the foot.
Advise on foot care and shoes.
Proper care of toenails, corns and calluses and other foot conditions.
Keep in mind that wounds, sores and infections may develop as the result of poor circulation.
Usually vascular testing would be ordered, if not already done by a vascular doctor.

There is a lot you can do to help yourself if you have poor circulation. Follow your doctors advice about exercising. Foot care for people with circulatory problems is very important.
