👟 Back to School: Set Your Kids Up for Active, Healthy Feet! 👩‍🏫

As the school year approaches, it’s time to think about more than just books and uniforms—your child’s foot health matters too! At Canning Podiatry Centre, we know how important it is to keep growing feet strong and healthy so your kids can stay active, happy, and pain-free throughout the school year.

Here are our top tips for Back-to-School Foot Care:
1️⃣ Choose the Right Shoes:
Look for shoes that provide good foot support, an secure anatomical fit, and are appropriate for school activities.
Opt for breathable materials and a durable sole for long days of play and learning.
2️⃣ Get the Right Fit:
Growing feet need room! Leave a gap between the toes and the shoe tip.
Always measure both feet and fit the shoes to the larger foot if sizes differ.
3️⃣ Check for Signs of Trouble:
Look for redness, skin irritation, or complaints of foot pain, which could indicate an issue with footwear or the foot itself.
4️⃣ Encourage Active Play:
Promote running, jumping, and playing—activities that help develop coordination, balance, and strong muscles.

👣 Need professional advice? If you’re unsure about footwear choices or notice any concerns with your child’s feet, our experienced podiatrists are here to help! Book a Back-to-School Foot Health Check today to give your kids the best start for the year ahead.

📅 National Diabetes Week: July 14-20 📅

At Canning Podiatry Centre, we are committed to raising awareness about the impact of diabetes on foot health.

🦶 Did you know? 🦶
Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, and one of the most vulnerable areas for complications is the feet. High blood sugar levels can lead to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, increasing the risk of foot ulcers, infections, and even amputations.

💡 Why is Foot Care Important? 💡
Regular foot screening is crucial for early detection and prevention of serious complications. At Canning Podiatry Centre, we offer comprehensive diabetic foot assessments which include:
- Neurological Examination: Checking for nerve damage that can lead to loss of sensation.
- Vascular Assessment: Evaluating blood flow to detect any circulation issues.
- Skin and Nail Inspection: Identifying any changes or signs of infection.
- Footwear Advice: Ensuring your shoes support and protect your feet.

🔍 What's Involved in a Screening? 🔍
Our friendly podiatrists will conduct a thorough examination, discuss your medical history, and provide personalized advice to help manage your foot health. Regular check-ups can make a world of difference in preventing serious complications.

📞 Book Your Appointment Today! 📞
Don't wait until it's too late. Contact us at Canning Podiatry Centre to schedule your diabetic foot screening and take the first step towards healthier feet.

👩‍⚕️💬 Podiatry Assessments: Our experienced podiatrists are here to help! If your child experiences any lower limb complaints, don't hesitate to schedule a podiatry assessment. Early detection and intervention can make a significant difference in their foot health.
