Why do I need my feet assessed?

With diabetes, there can sometimes be other associated complications that occur, especially if your diabetic condition is not well controlled.

One of the most important areas where complications can occur is in the feet. We have all heard horror tales of people who have had foot problems with diabetes; removal of toes, feet and more .… not a pretty picture.

It is our aim at Total Care Podiatry to ensure that you have the very best foot health possible and if there are any areas which may lead to future concerns, that these are prevented wherever possible.

We do this through appropriate advice, assessment and treatment with the most up-to-date diagnostic equipment available.

We are also happy to work with other health professionals, including your present podiatrist.

 The goals of the Podiatric Diabetic Evaluation are :

  • To provide a clear picture of your foot health, to you and your ‘health team’
  • Offer key recommendations:

          =>To prevent any areas of concern becoming worse, and

          => To address any problem areas

Assist you with various treatment options and a care plan if required.
