Diabetic Foot Assessment

Diabetes can lead to complications such as neuropathy (nerve damage) and reduced blood flow to the extremities, increasing the risk of foot-related issues. A comprehensive diabetic foot assessment is essential for early detection and prevention of severe complications like ulcers and amputations.

Our diabetic foot assessment, conducted by skilled healthcare professionals, is specifically designed for individuals with diabetes and includes several key components to ensure optimal foot health:

• Medical History Review: We start by examining your diabetes status and relevant medical history to understand your unique needs.

• Neurological Assessment: Tests are conducted to evaluate sensation and muscle function in your feet, crucial for detecting nerve-related issues.

• Vascular Assessment: Blood flow and skin temperature are checked to assess circulation and prevent complications.

• Skin and Nail Examination: Your feet are thoroughly inspected for any abnormalities or lesions to detect potential issues early.

• Assessment of Foot Deformities: Structural integrity and gait are evaluated to identify and address any deformities promptly.

• Footwear Evaluation: Ensuring you have proper footwear is essential for maintaining foot health.

• Wound Assessment: Any wounds or ulcers are examined to provide immediate care if necessary.

• Patient Education: We offer comprehensive guidance on foot care and glycemic control, empowering you to actively manage your condition.

• Follow-up and Referrals: Future visits are scheduled to monitor your progress, and specialist referrals are made if needed to address specific concerns.
