DIABETIC FOOT CONDITIONS
Principles for managing diabetes-related foot disease and active foot disease in the community setting:
Prioritise early identification of the signs of diabetes related foot disease and any related complications to prevent unnecessary hospitalisation by seeing our Senior Podiatrist who is experienced in working for high-risk foot services in the hospital setting.
Early detection to manage patients who have feet that are at risk and to reduce complications
Care is managed by a multidisciplinary team to maximise positive results. Including your podiatrist, endocrinologists and diabetes educators
Monitoring and recording the foot disease status of the person who has diabetes
The NDSS has also created a referral pathway document for people at risk of developing foot disease. Please see the attachment here for further information.
Diabetic Foot Care
Are you a diabetic? Taking good care of your feet is part of managing diabetes.
Your feet should be assessed at least once a year to help avoid diabetic complications.
Nail and Skin Care
Painful nails, corns and calluses are a common problem. If left untreated they will make walking and standing a struggle.
Let one of our skilled podiatrist keep you on your feet.
Our Podiatrist can add a Pedicure as an add on after your service
Muscle & Joint Pain
Heel, arch, ankle and knee pain are all signs that your feet may need a little help.
After an assessment of the way you walk, our podiatrist can treat many of the common foot and joint pain problems.
We have available podiatric inserts to help in treating your pain
