Diabetic Foot Assessments

If you have diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing foot problems. This is because raised blood glucose levels can cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the legs and feet. This damage can lead to reduced sensation in your feet (neuropathy) and a reduced blood supply. Both of these factors can mean your feet are at risk of a diabetic foot ulceration or even amputation in some cases. Therefore, it is important that diabetic feet are assessed at least annually to identify any risk factors and determine your level risk. Our experienced podiatrists will assess your feet by taking a full medical history and assessing your circulation, sensation and foot shape to determine your risk status. We then provide information on how to keep your feet healthy and make any onward referrals if needed.

Testimonials

"Absolutely brilliant service by Maxine. My mum who has dementia and Alzheimer’s had a major problem with her nails, Maxine replied to my email without delay and was at mum’s house the next day and sorted out her issues. Highly recommended and massive thanks to Maxine."

Chris Poole

"This was my first visit to a chiropodist so I was a little nervous but put at ease straight away by Katie who was friendly and professional. The Stray Podiatry building is clean and professional looking. I would highly recommend."

Matthew Greaves

"It was my first time visiting Stray Podiatry & Chiropody and a lovely experience- easy free parking right outside, a lovely large airy treatment room and fantastic service! A very thorough initial assessment, then great treatment and advice which fully addressed all my concerns. My feet now feel amazing - a huge thank you to Maxine, I will be back!"

Sara Hubbard

"On arrival the building looks modern and clean. I have been coming for a year know I see both practitioners. They have sorted My feet from having severe cracked bleeding heals to just very dry skin that needs treatment every 6-8 weeks. They give me lots of advice on the best way to treat my dry skin at home. I definitely recommend using them that’s why I make a 2 hour around trip to come over. Because I have not found such good professionals near me."
