Diabetes can significantly affect circulation and nerve sensation in the feet, increasing the risk of wounds, ulcers, and infections. Without proper management, even small injuries may become serious complications. Regular podiatry care is essential for protecting foot health and preventing long-term issues.
Common Symptoms include:
-
Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the feet
-
Dry or cracked skin that may lead to infection
-
Slow-healing cuts, sores, or wounds
-
Swelling or changes in skin colour
-
Reduced or altered sensation in the toes and soles
Treatments We Provide:
-
Comprehensive diabetic foot assessments to identify risks early and monitor ongoing foot health.
-
Circulation and sensation testing to detect changes before complications occur.
-
Nail and skin care including safe management of corns, calluses, and cracks.
-
Wound management and dressing care to support healing and reduce infection risk.
-
