Diabetes
Welcome to Podiatry Hub, where we specialise in providing care for individuals with diabetes. We understand the unique challenges that diabetes poses, especially concerning foot health. Our dedicated team of experienced podiatrists are here to offer expert guidance, preventive measures, and comprehensive solutions to ensure your feet remain healthy and strong.
The Connection Between Diabetes and Foot Health
Diabetes can have a profound impact on your feet. Nerve damage (neuropathy) and reduced blood circulation are common complications that can lead to serious foot problems. From decreased sensation to delayed wound healing, these issues necessitate vigilant foot care.
Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Care
Our podiatrists are well-versed in diabetic foot care, offering a range of services designed to minimise risks and promote foot health:
- Regular Examinations: Routine foot examinations are crucial to detect potential problems early. Our podiatrists conduct thorough assessments, identifying any issues that require attention.
- Neuropathy Management: Nerve damage can lead to reduced sensation, increasing the risk of injuries going unnoticed. We employ techniques to manage neuropathy, preserving your awareness of foot health.
- Circulation Enhancement: Reduced blood flow can impede healing and increase infection risks. Our experts implement strategies to improve circulation, ensuring your feet receive optimal nourishment.
- Custom Orthotics: Tailored orthotic devices can alleviate pressure points and prevent ulcers, enhancing overall comfort and protection.
- Education and Guidance: We empower you with the knowledge to care for your feet at home. Proper hygiene, nail care, and footwear selection are integral components of diabetic foot health.
Collaborative Approach
We collaborate closely with your diabetes care team to ensure comprehensive management. Our podiatrists communicate and coordinate with your GP to ensure a holistic approach to your well-being.
Preventing Complications
Our podiatrists prioritise preventive measures to circumvent complications:
- Regular Foot Inspections: We guide you in conducting daily foot inspections to spot any issues promptly.
- Footwear Recommendations: Proper footwear is paramount. Our experts advise on selecting shoes that offer support, comfort, and protection.
