📅 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.
