Welcome to the Blog of Dr. Mark E. Sowell, DPM.

Please participate while you are here. Comment, ask questions and let me know how I am doing. My hope is that this blog will help relieve foot pain and avoid foot complications by providing some basic footcare information to its readers. I practice podiatry in Nacogdoches and Carthage Texas as well as over fifteen area nursing homes and assisted living facilities in East Texas.

In our efforts to reduce diabetic foot complications for our patients and our community, Dr. Sowell has developed a more organized approach to diabetic foot examination.  This will allow for better communication with physicians on a patient’s team and will make foot care simpler for our diabetic patients. If you are diabetic…please make sure you are getting a thorough foot exam each year and caring for your feet as instructed.  If you know someone who is diabetic, please talk to them about the need sfoot proper diabetic foot risk assessment.  We would love to help in any way we can!  Also,  while supplies last,  Sowell Podiatry is giving away a free pair diabetic socks to every patient who comes into our office for a diabetic foot exam!

A common diabetes myth is that because diabetes is so prevalent it must not be that serious.  I beg to differ.  Every day I meet new patients who suffer greatly due to their diabetes.  Blindness, amputations and a shorter lif are just a few complications from the disease.  Diabetic care is a core value of Sowell Podiatry.  Please control your blood sugar and get regular check ups.  If we can be of any help, please give us a call.
