Diabetic Neuropathy Physiotherapy in South Delhi
Diabetic neuropathy physiotherapy supports people with diabetes who experience numbness, burning, tingling, weakness, balance difficulty, or walking problems. At Physionyx Physiotherapy & Rehab, rehabilitation focuses on safe mobility, strength, balance, fall prevention, and protection of the feet.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can reduce sensation in the feet and contribute to balance problems, mobility limitations, falls, and risk of unnoticed skin injury.

Foot-Care Education
Patients should be advised to:
Inspect both feet daily.
Check the soles with a mirror.
Wear properly fitting footwear.
Avoid walking barefoot.
Check shoes before wearing them.
Avoid heating pads and very hot water.
Avoid cutting corns or calluses independently.
Report wounds, redness, swelling, or discharge promptly.
Exercise Safety
Use protective shoes, maintain a safe environment, and avoid unsupervised balance exercises if fall risk is high. Patients should discuss blood-glucose monitoring and exercise timing with their diabetes-care team.
Stop exercise and seek medical advice for chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, sudden weakness, new foot injury, or rapidly increasing swelling or redness.
