Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessments in Perth

Proactive Care to Protect Your Feet and Prevent Complications

At JS Podiatry, we specialize in Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessments to help individuals with diabetes maintain healthy feet and prevent serious complications. Our expert podiatrists provide thorough evaluations, tailored advice, and effective treatments to ensure your feet stay in the best possible condition.

Why Are Diabetic Foot Assessments Important?

Diabetes can affect the health of your feet in several ways, including reduced circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and slower healing of wounds. Regular diabetic foot assessments are crucial for identifying potential issues early and preventing complications such as ulcers, infections, or even amputation.

What’s Included in a Diabetic Foot Assessment?

Our comprehensive diabetic foot assessments include:

1. Circulation Check

   • We assess blood flow to your feet to detect any signs of reduced circulation.

2. Neuropathy Testing

   • Using specialized tools, we test for nerve damage or loss of sensation in your feet.

3. Skin and Nail Evaluation

   • We examine your skin for dryness, cracks, or wounds and check for fungal infections or ingrown toenails.

4. Footwear Assessment

   • We evaluate your shoes to ensure they provide proper support and don’t contribute to pressure points or friction.

5. Pressure and Gait Analysis

   • Using advanced tools like the Zebris 3D Gait Analysis system, we assess how you walk and identify areas of high pressure that could lead to ulcers.

6. Education and Prevention

   • Our podiatrists provide personalized advice on foot care, hygiene, and footwear to help you prevent complications.
