As the Internet changes and evolves, so do clinic websites. Building a successful clinic website is an active, not a passive process. If your website has been statically sitting around for 5 or more years, don’t be discouraged. Small changes could make a major impact on your clinic’s bottom line.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is associated with decreased muscle strength and physical activity level, as measured by steps per day and reduced gait speed. Studies suggest that motor and sensory deficits and reduced foot-ankle range of motion (ROM) are related to decreased physical activity levels.

Plantar heel pain (PHP) has a yearly prevalence of 2.4 to 6.5 per 1000 registered patients in general practice and affects approximately 8 to 31% of runners. The underlying aetiology of PHP is unknown, but is believed to be a consequence of tissue overload, via a high body mass index (BMI) and/or prolonged weight-bearing exercise.

The management of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is clinically challenging. Current treatment recommendations for DFO are often poorly supported by clinical evidence. The operational definitions to define DFO and its outcomes are inconsistent and often rely on surrogate markers, such as wound healing or ulcer recurrence that do not have a clear, direct relationship with residual bone infection.
