Up to half of people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy may have no noticeable symptoms. That's a pretty important reason to stop waiting for foot pain before getting checked. 🦶

Diabetes can affect your feet long before there's an obvious problem. Regular foot exams give your podiatrist a chance to identify risks early, monitor changes over time, and help prevent complications such as foot ulcers.

A comprehensive foot exam is recommended at least once a year for people with diabetes, and more frequently for those at higher risk.

When was your last foot exam?

If it's been over a year, or you can't remember, connect with an ILAPPS podiatrist to schedule one: https://heyor.ca/uqduD8

Your costume shoes should not haunt your feet tomorrow. 👻

If tonight involves heels, tight boots, or shoes you only wear once a year, give your feet a reset tomorrow: switch to supportive footwear, check for blisters or pressure spots, and do not ignore pain that sticks around after the costume comes off.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Regenerative medicine is showing up all over social feeds right now, especially for injuries that keep coming back.

In podiatry, one option patients may hear about is PRP. It uses components from your own blood and may be discussed for certain tendon, ligament, or soft tissue problems in the foot and ankle.

Before asking for a specific treatment, it helps to understand what is actually causing the pain. PRP may be part of the conversation, but it depends on the injury, the tissue involved, and the overall treatment plan.

Regenerative medicine is not a shortcut around diagnosis, rehab, footwear changes, or activity adjustments. It works best as part of a plan built around the specific problem causing your pain.

If you have seen regenerative medicine online and are wondering whether it applies to your foot or ankle concern, start with an ILAPPS podiatrist: https://heyor.ca/uqduD8

As insurance and benefits conversations pick up in Q4, patients may start asking next-year coverage questions before your office can verify next-year coverage.

A patient can book now, change plans later, and arrive in January with coverage details your team has not seen yet.

Starting this month, get ahead of year-end coverage questions by building the recheck into the booking process. If a patient mentions a new plan, benefits reset, or open enrollment decision, flag the appointment so coverage is verified again before the visit.

October is a coding reset point.

With ICD-10 updates now in effect, this is the time to check whether your most-used codes still reflect the way your practice is documenting and billing care.

One outdated shortcut can carry into more claims than anyone realizes.

If billing and coding questions keep coming up in your practice, ILAPPS membership gives you a place to turn:

🔍 New shoes can leave clues, especially if you have diabetes.

After taking your shoes off, look for pressure marks that stay red, areas that feel warmer than the surrounding skin, blisters, cuts, or spots that keep rubbing in the same place. These changes may show up before pain does, especially if sensation in your feet is reduced.

A shoe that keeps pressing in the same area is not something to “break in” when your feet are higher risk.

If you notice a sore spot, skin change, or blister that is not improving, connect with an ILAPPS podiatrist: https://heyor.ca/uqduD8

After a summer of sandals, sports, travel, and more, toenail problems can start showing up once closed shoes are back in the rotation.

A few signs worth checking:
🦶 Pain when your nail presses against your shoe
🦶 Redness or swelling around the nail edge
🦶 A nail that looks dark, thick, loose, or lifted
🦶 Tenderness that keeps coming back in the same toe
🦶 Drainage or signs of infection

An ILAPPS podiatrist can help identify what is causing the pain and treat it before it gets worse. Find one near you: https://heyor.ca/uqduD8
