Ulcerated Diabetic Foot Consultation
The Diabetic Foot Unit offers specialized care for diabetic foot ulcers. Our multidisciplinary team focuses on the evaluation and comprehensive treatment of ulcers, applying the most advanced healing techniques to prevent complications and improve the quality of life of our patients.
Preventive Foot Consultation (No ulcers)
We perform complete evaluations for those patients without ulcers to prevent their appearance. We offer detailed vascular and neurological assessments and a footprint analysis using state-of-the-art equipment. These tools allow us to identify risks and create a personalized care plan to maintain the health of your feet.
Biomechanics: Three-Dimensional Gait Analysis
We have advanced technology for gait three-dimensional analysis to evaluate the movement of lower limbs. This study allows us to detect biomechanical alterations with the potential to develop injuries, especially in people with diabetes.
Podiatric Surgery
We offer podiatric surgical services to treat various foot conditions, such as correction of deformities, injuries, and other conditions that require specialized procedures.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Our team expertly handles cases of ingrown toenails, offering effective treatments and minor surgical procedures to relieve pain and prevent infections.
Callus Removal
We provide callus removal treatment, ensuring the relief of discomfort they can cause and improving the general health of the foot.
Laser Nail Fungus Removal
We have laser technology for the treatment of fungal nail infections, providing an effective and non-invasive solution to improve the appearance and health of your nails.
Plantar Footprint Analysis (Footscan) and Footprint Disorders
We offer a detailed plantar footprint analysis, allowing us to identify footprint disorders and assess the risk of developing ulcers in the future. This assessment is key in designing an appropriate prevention and treatment plan.
Making Custom Templates with 3D Technology
We develop customized insoles using 3D technology to meet each patient's needs. Whether for the general population, people with orthopedic foot disorders (such as flatfoot, cavus foot, dysmetria, among others), or athletes. Our insoles are designed to provide maximum comfort and support.
