Diabetic Foot Assessment

Did you check your feet today?
If you have diabetes, this 5-minute check could save your health.


The most serious foot complications often start small and painless.

This General Diabetic Foot Assessment Guide outlines five crucial steps you need to do every single day

Why is this so important?
Because if you can't feel a wound, and your body can't heal it, your risk of complications is significantly greater! If you have diabetes, even a small crack in the skin can become dangerous quickly.

Early detection is key to saving your foot health!

DO NOT wait for pain! Your feet are masters of disguise. If you see a Red Flag, skip the DIY solutions and see a Podiatrist right away.

Protect your feet, protect your health!

  • Every 2 hours in Australia, someone loses a limb due to complications from diabetes-related foot disease.
  • There are approximately 4,190 to 8,000 lower limb amputations performed each year in Australia.
Many of these amputations are preventable with early intervention and regular podiatric care.

If your toes are looking a little... unusual, shall we say, it might be time to check in.

Be pro-active about your health and don’t wait until it’s too late.
Your feet deserve attention before they demand it!

A Guide to General At-Home Foot Assessments

11/20/2025

0 Comments

 
​Got 5 Minutes? Then you have time to check your feet! 
Your daily foot check is quick, easy, and essential! It takes about the same amount of time as making your morning coffee or brushing your teeth, but the payoff for your foot health is enormous.
  • Regular checks are vital for spotting early changes in your skin, nails, and circulation.

Healthy feet start with smart habits, and that also includes your shoes!
Before putting on shoes, shake them out and run your hand inside to feel for any pebbles, sharp edges, or loose seams that could cause friction. A smooth interior protects your feet from injury and discomfort.

We've covered everything from a step-by-step guide to checking your feet at home, as well as what you can be looking or feeling for.

Finding an issue doesn't mean you should panic, but it does mean it's time to take action!

If you notice any of these concerning signs, don't wait to book an appointment with us so we can accurately assess the cause and provide you with the right treatment.

Early detection is key!

Compression Socks

11/20/2025

Stop the swell!
Are your legs heavy, tired, or swollen after a long day?
  • Compression socks apply graduated pressure (tightest at the ankle) to actively help blood and fluid pump back up toward your heart.
Why this upward pressure matters:
  •  Manages uncomfortable swelling (oedema).
  •  Protects your veins long-term.
  •  Reduces that heavy, aching feeling in your legs.
Compression socks can be an essential tool for travel, standing occupations, exercise recovery, and overall foot health!
