Living with diabetes is complicated. It also means paying close attention to your foot health. Even a small cut or blister can quickly become a serious problem without proper care. Dr. Michael Wach provides personalized diabetic foot care to help patients prevent serious complications and stay active. Whether you need routine foot exams or treatment for an existing concern, we have specialized services to help.
Patients throughout West Valley City and Orem trust Dr. Wach for experienced diabetic foot care in a welcoming environment that caters to their needs.
Diabetic Foot Care Is Essential
Diabetes is a serious condition. It can affect circulation and nerve function in your feet. Reduced blood flow makes it harder for wounds to heal. Also, nerve damage may prevent you from noticing a cut or sore on your foot.
Even minor foot problems can become infections or ulcers. Regular visits with our podiatrist help identify concerns before they become more serious.
If you are looking for diabetic foot care in West Valley City or Orem, our office offers preventive care and personalized treatment plans.
Signs You Should Schedule an Appointment
While anyone with diabetes should see a podiatrist regularly, the following symptoms are signs you should schedule an appointment right away.
- Numbness or tingling in your feet
- Slow-healing cuts or sores
- Redness or swelling in your feet
- Thick calluses or corns
- Changes in skin color
- Foot pain or discomfort
Early treatment often gives our patients better outcomes because the problem is under control. Waiting too long often means more difficult-to-treat areas.

Dr. Wach develops treatment plans based on your individual needs and risk factors. Every visit includes a thorough foot examination and an assessment of circulation and nerve function.
We’re also a full-service podiatric clinic, meaning we treat diabetic ulcers, calluses, nail conditions, and other concerns that may increase your risk of infection. When appropriate, we recommend custom orthotics or supportive footwear to reduce pressure and improve comfort. Advanced toenail fungus can also be treated with Lunula Laser, a state-of-the-art treatment that’s minimally invasive.

Tips for Protecting Your Feet
Healthy daily habits are important for anyone currently living with diabetes. Although complications remain a risk, you can minimize them by taking a few proactive steps.
Check your feet every day for any changes in the skin, even if they are subtle. Wash and dry your feet carefully, especially between the toes. Wear shoes that fit properly, and never walk barefoot (even for short distances).
Managing your blood sugar also supports healthy circulation and promotes better healing.
Routine appointments for diabetic foot care in West Valley City or our Orem office help detect changes early before they become more difficult to treat.
