Diabetic Foot Care

For those living with diabetes, proper foot care is essential. At PodHaus, we specialise in early detection, personalised treatment, and preventative care to keep your feet safe, healthy, and free from complications, so you can stay confidently on the move.

What Causes Diabetic Foot Problems?

People with diabetes are more prone to serious foot complications due to:

Poor Circulation – Reduced blood flow delays healing and increases infection risk

Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve damage that causes numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation

High Blood Sugar Levels – Slows wound healing and weakens the immune system

Foot Deformities or Pressure Points – Can lead to ulcers and skin breakdown

Improper Footwear – Increases the risk of pressure sores or unnoticed injuries

At PodHaus, we conduct detailed diabetic foot assessments, including sensation testing, circulation checks, and skin evaluation to catch issues early and prevent complications.

If you are living with diabetes, foot care is an essential part of managing your overall health. Even minor issues can lead to serious complications if not identified and managed early.

At PodHaus Podiatry, diabetic assessments include a full neurovascular examination to check your circulation and sensation. We also conduct range of motion testing, muscle strength assessment, and classify your foot risk according to national guidelines.

We provide dermatological and nail care, including the management of thickened nails, calluses, corns, and dry or cracked skin. A comprehensive history will be taken, including medical conditions, medications, footwear, and any past foot complications.

Our aim is to detect issues early, reduce risk, and keep you mobile, safe, and independent. We collaborate with your GP, endocrinologist, or diabetes educator as needed to ensure coordinated care.
