Black patients and Podiatry

Black podiatrists: foot, ankle, and diabetes-related foot care. Black adults face 2-3x higher diabetic amputation rates. Podiatry prevents that outcome.

Black Americans with diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to undergo lower-extremity amputation than white Americans with diabetes (CDC, 2022). The majority of those amputations are preventable with consistent podiatric care, early wound treatment, and proper diabetic shoes. Podiatrists (DPMs) treat foot and ankle conditions, perform foot surgery, and are the frontline of diabetes foot-care teams.

What podiatrists cover

  • Diabetic foot exams and wound care
  • Heel pain, plantar fasciitis
  • Bunions, hammertoes
  • Ingrown toenails
  • Ankle sprains and fractures
  • Custom orthotics
  • Foot surgery

When to book

  • Any foot wound that hasn't healed in 2 weeks (diabetic)
  • Sharp heel pain with first steps in the morning
  • Numbness, tingling, or burning in feet
  • Bunion causing shoe-fitting problems

Advocacy prompts

  • Can you do a diabetic foot exam with monofilament testing today?
  • Do I qualify for diabetic shoes through Medicare?
  • What are my non-surgical options before we discuss surgery?
