Diabetic Foot

     Diabetes is, by far, one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. Other less common causes include exposure to cold or radiation, a few medicines, toxic substances, vascular or collagen disorders, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis.

     Compression stockings are one way to manage the symptoms that affect the Diabetic foot.  Close to You works with all the major manufacturers of compression stockings.  Some of the great features added to compression garments are silver in the material to be anti microbial when on the foot.  Another great feature to some stockings is the neuropathic foot which puts additional compression in the foot to help blood flow and keep the skin healthy.
