Living with diabetes requires ongoing attention to foot health. Even small concerns such as thick nails, pressure areas, or minor skin injuries can develop into serious complications if left untreated.
Our foot clinic provides comprehensive diabetic foot care focused on prevention, early detection, and evidence-based treatment to help protect mobility, comfort, and overall health.
The goal of diabetic foot care is simple: identify problems early and help patients remain active and independent.
Regular diabetic foot care may be appropriate if you:
Have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
Experience numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in your feet.
Have reduced circulation.
Develop calluses or corns.
Have thickened or difficult-to-trim nails.
Have difficulty safely caring for your own feet.
Have a history of wounds, infections, or slow healing.
Many serious foot complications begin as minor issues that may not cause pain initially. Routine monitoring helps detect concerns before they progress.
Patients often seek diabetic foot care to:
prevent complications,
maintain independence,
manage thick nails or calluses safely,
monitor circulation and sensation changes,
receive ongoing professional support for foot health.
Preventative care plays an important role in reducing avoidable complications.
Diabetes can affect both nerve sensation and blood circulation in the feet. Reduced sensation may make it difficult to notice pressure, injury, or skin breakdown. At the same time, slower healing increases the risk of infection.
Common concerns seen during diabetic foot care appointments include:
ingrown toenails,
calluses and corns,
skin cracks,
fungal nail changes,
early pressure injuries.
Professional care helps manage these concerns safely while reducing the risk of complications.
Foot wounds require prompt attention.
Our foot clinic provides conservative wound care management for:
diabetic foot ulcers,
pressure injuries,
slow-healing skin breakdown,
minor infections affecting the feet.
Treatment may include:
wound cleansing and monitoring,
removal of non-viable tissue when appropriate,
pressure offloading strategies,
dressing selection,
ongoing reassessment of healing progress.
If additional medical care is required beyond the scope of chiropody practice, patients may be advised to follow up with their physician or seek urgent medical care when necessary.
Early intervention significantly improves outcomes.
Every patient receives an individualized assessment based on medical history and risk factors.
Your diabetic foot and wound care visit may include:
Comprehensive foot and skin assessment.
Circulation and sensation screening.
Safe nail trimming and reduction of thickened nails.
Callus and corn reduction.
Pressure point evaluation.
Education on daily foot monitoring and home care.
Treatment recommendations are discussed together so patients understand available options.
Appointments are designed to be thorough and comfortable.
Your visit typically includes:
Review of medical history and diabetes-related risk factors.
Foot examination.
Discussion of symptoms or concerns.
Treatment when appropriate.
Aftercare education and follow-up planning.
Questions are always encouraged so patients and caregivers feel confident managing foot health at home.
Frequency depends on individual risk factors.
Some patients benefit from visits every:
4 to 6 weeks,
8 to 10 weeks,
or periodic monitoring throughout the year.
Recommendations are discussed during assessment.
Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for chiropody services. Patients are encouraged to confirm their individual coverage details with their insurance provider. Receipts are provided for claim submission.
If you are living with diabetes and have concerns about your feet — or would like preventative monitoring — professional diabetic foot care can help support long-term foot health.
Appointments can be booked online or by contacting the clinic directly.
