The Connection between Feet & Heartbeat
Amazing discoveries are being made all the time in modern medicine. Sometimes you see two different realms of medicine and might never consciously think about how they might overlap. It might surprise you to know that two realms of the medical world that overlap are podiatry and cardiology.
In many cases, it’s a cardiological condition that leads to podiatric symptoms and side effects. The biggest overlapping factor here is circulation. Many health conditions lead to circulation problems, from high blood pressure to diabetes, and nerve disease. Schedule an appointment today with our Podiatrists at Tri County Foot & Ankle Center.
In the case of diabetes, many doctors see overlapping issues from the excessive swelling that can affect the feet and ankles, especially in uncontrolled diabetes. This swelling can lead to further damage to the nerves and result in chronic, non-healing ulcers. When left unaddressed and untreated, uncontrolled diabetic ulcers can leave only one choice for the doctor and patient: amputation.
Given this serious information, it’s important to know how you can tell if the symptoms and issues you’re seeing in your feet and ankles might indicate a larger cardiological condition. Contact Tri County Foot & Ankle Center and don’t let these symptoms go unnoticed - they’re far from normal, and you don’t have to let it go untreated.
