Footcare for diabetics
Diabetics are at an increased of foot complications due to changes in the circulation and nerves. This can lead to increased risk of infection, ulceration, peripheral neuropathy (burning, tingling or numbness) or in the worst cases, necrosis and amputation. If you have diabetes, it is recommended to have an annual diabetes assessment carried out. Your risk level will be established following tests on your nerves and circulation and a care plan will be implemented to reduce your risk of developing any diabetic complications.
Our podiatrists perform annual diabetic foot assessments to monitor nerve and circulation health, assess your risk level, and implement care plans to reduce the likelihood of complications.
Biomechanics and Orthotics
Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of a moving body. When applied to podiatry this relates directly to the gait cycle (walking or running) and how the foot links with the ankle, knee, hips etc. Orthotics are specialised inserts for your footwear that correct and realign lower limb structure and function. Every patient requires a different level of correction to offload and realign the structures of the foot/leg. Each case is assessed thoroughly and individually with a full biomechanical assessment.
