Left poorly managed, Diabetes can contribute to many and often severe foot complications. Individuals with diabetes are strongly recommended to visit a Podiatrist at least every 12 months, even if the Diabetes is well managed! Like a regular Dentist or Optometrist visit; make this annual assessment part of your routine health check-up, so we can help you monitor for:
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Decreased or loss of sensation
- Peripheral Vascular Disease
- Diminished blood flow
- Dangerous pressure points
- Bone/joint abnormalities
- Wounds, ulcers or infection risks
- Risks with ill-fitting footwear
* Patients with Diabetes may be eligible for a Medicare referral from their family Doctor.
