Diabetes Foot Care
Essential Care for Diabetic Foot Health
For individuals living with diabetes, specialised foot care is not just beneficial—it's essential. At Altaira Allied Health, our Diabetes Foot Care services are designed to provide comprehensive assessments, proactive prevention strategies, and ongoing management to safeguard your foot health and prevent serious complications.
Diabetes can significantly impact the feet, leading to nerve damage (neuropathy), poor circulation (peripheral vascular disease), and increased risk of infections and ulcers. Regular and thorough foot care is vital to detect potential problems early, manage existing conditions, and maintain your mobility and independence. Trust Altaira Allied Health to provide the specialised care you need to keep your feet healthy and strong.
What Our Diabetes Foot Care Services Entail
Our comprehensive diabetes foot care services include:
- Comprehensive Diabetic Neurovascular Assessments: Regular and thorough evaluations of nerve function (neuropathy) and blood circulation (vascular status) in your feet. Additionally, peripheral blood flow assessments using doppler ultrasound as a stand-alone point. These assessments are crucial for early detection of changes that could lead to complications.
- Annual Foot Screenings for Diabetic Patients: Essential yearly check-ups to monitor your overall foot health, identify any new risks, and ensure your preventive care plan is effective. These screenings are a cornerstone of proactive diabetic foot management.
- Ulcer Prevention and Management: Strategies and interventions to prevent the development of diabetic foot ulcers, including pressure redistribution, appropriate footwear advice, and skin care. For existing ulcers, we provide expert wound care and management to promote healing and prevent infection.
- Education and Advice on Diabetic Foot Care: Comprehensive guidance on daily foot care practices, proper footwear selection, and lifestyle modifications that can significantly reduce your risk of complications. Empowering you with knowledge is a key part of our approach.
- Ongoing Monitoring for Peripheral Neuropathy and Peripheral Vascular Disease: Continuous assessment and management of nerve damage and circulatory issues, which are common in diabetic patients. Regular monitoring helps us adjust your care plan as needed to maintain optimal foot health.
