What Does a Diabetic Foot Assessment Involve?
There is a higher risk of developing foot health issues in patients with diabetes. We can provide regular foot exams to ensure the early detection and treatment of any problems such as ulcers to reduce the chances of serious complications.
- We ask about your health history: Our comprehensive foot assessment includes questions about your health history and if you’ve had any previous issues with your feet.
- We check your footwear: We review your shoes to assess how well they fit and ask about other footwear you wear regularly. This assessment determines if you are at risk of developing blisters or calluses that may lead to other foot issues, including ulcers or infection.
- We assess your feet: We complete a thorough hands-on foot assessment to check for any issues such as cracks in the skin, signs of fungal infection, sensitivity, poor circulation, and decreased muscle strength.
