Chris Garside Podiatry’s Diabetic Foot Care Magic

Walking Towards Wellness

At Chris Garside Podiatry, we recognise that individuals with diabetes face an increased risk of severe foot complications due to reduced blood circulation (vascular disease) and nerve degeneration (neuropathy). These factors can hinder the body’s natural healing processes, potentially leading to foot ulcers even from minor injuries. For those living with diabetes, we strongly recommend regular foot assessments.

Our specialised diabetic foot assessments encompass vascular testing using Doppler ultrasound and neurological testing to detect peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). We provide detailed reports for your GP to ensure coordinated care. Moreover, we empower you with the knowledge and skills to self-examine your feet, especially if you experience poor circulation and numbness.

We promptly address cuts, grazes, and bruises to prevent complications, expertly manage hard skin and calluses to reduce the risk of ulceration, and offer guidance on selecting proper socks and comfortable footwear.
