Why do i need a Podiatrist

Your feet carry you through life - they deserve expert care, not just a nail cut.

A podiatrist is a HCPC-registered healthcare professional trained to assess, diagnose and treat conditions affecting your feet

and lower limbs.

Diabetic Foot Assessments - A full assessment checks for early warning signs, sometimes before you'd notice them yourself:

• Skin and nail condition

• Sensation testing to detect nerve damage

• Pressure areas at risk of ulceration

• Overall risk stratification, so problems are caught early

Doppler Vascular Assessment Using a handheld Doppler ultrasound, we can measure blood flow in

the arteries of your feet and ankles to:

• Detect poor circulation (peripheral arterial disease)

• Flag issues that could slow healing or increase risk

Important for Your Heart Too Your feet are often the first place circulation problems show up. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a history of cardiovascular issues, a vascular assessment can help flag concerns early - supporting the care you already receive from

your GP or cardiologist.
