Service Description

Diabetic Foot Assessment (15 minutes £15 can be booked as a stand-alone treatment or as an add-on to routine treatment) - The diabetic foot assessment can be booked as an add-on to a routine podiatry treatment or a stand-alone appointment. The assessment is designed to risk assess your current foot health and identify early signs of peripheral neuropathy (loss of sensation in the feet). Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by multiple factors, however, diabetic patients are at greater risk of it affecting their ability to notice injuries or wounds. Stability and mobility are also impacted by the gradual development of peripheral neuropathy. In addition to the loss of sensation in the feet, your podiatrist will also be looking for signs of motor and autonomic neuropathy and provide you with the appropriate management plan.
