Diabetic footcare is an integral part of ensuring foot and lower limb health. Diabetes Australia recommends patients visit their podiatrist annually to review their foot health status. Some patients may experience mild symptoms and be affected by dryness and tingling in the toe area. More serious issues can include peripheral vascular disease (PVD), numbness in the foot and lower limb area (peripheral neuropathy) and an inability to fight infection. Numbness in the sole region can further result in neuropathic ulceration.
Our qualified podiatrists are able to measure your sensation, circulation and biomechanics to ensure you are taking the correct precautions.
