PODIATRY FOR DIABETIC FEET
Diabetes can increase the risk of certain foot complications, making regular professional assessment particularly important.
Our podiatrists can assess your skin, nails and overall foot health and provide appropriate ongoing treatment and advice.
If you notice a wound, change in colour, swelling or another sudden change to your feet, seek appropriate professional advice promptly.
HOW CAN OUR PODIATRIST HELP?
Our podiatry services cover a wide range of foot health concerns, including:
- Foot and heel pain
- Ingrown toenails
- Verrucas

- Thickened or problematic nails
- Diabetic foot health
- Musculoskeletal foot problems
- Plantar fasciitis
- Foot and gait problems

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a healthcare professional specialising in assessing and treating conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs.

Consider seeking professional advice if you have persistent foot or heel pain, recurring corns or calluses, nail problems, an ingrown toenail, verruca, walking difficulties or another concern affecting your feet.
Can a podiatrist help with foot pain?
Yes. The first step is determining what's causing the pain. An assessment can then help establish the most appropriate treatment or management plan.
