Diabetic Footcare
If you have been diagnosed with Diabetes, it is vital that you seek professional foot care services from a registered practitioner. Patients with this condition have an increased risk of poor foot health, often due to circulatory issues or from Peripheral Neuropathy. This occurs as result of high glucose levels that affect the function of the nerves causing a loss of sensation, numbness or even pain.
We offer diabetic footcare and are always happy to answer any worries that you may have.
Our primary aim is to help our diabetic patients to maintain the best possible standard of foot health to support their overall well-being and quality of life.
Treatment
-
Vascular assessment using a hand-held Doppler Scanner, to determine the quality of the circulation in each foot.
-
A Monofilament Test, which is a simple touch test, to check for signs of Peripheral Neuropathy.
-
Following this any sores or ulcers will be treated and dressed, and we will confirm if a medical referral is advisable.
Once this has been completed you will receive the same service offered by our Full Foot Treatment which includes toenail cutting and checks for the following:
​
Corns
Calluses
Fungal Nail infection
Athlete’s foot
Verrucae
Ingrown toenail
Any problems identified will be treated. The appointment finishes with a relaxing and moisturising foot massage which will help to improve circulation.
Further Treatment

We place great emphasis on clinical cleanliness, and we abide strictly to the care guidelines set out for Foot Health Professionals.
Instruments are sterilized in an autoclave and remain sterile in a vacuum sealed pouch until opened during treatment so there can be no risk of cross contamination between patients.

Our Footcare Services
Full Foot Treatment
​
One of the most popular treatments offered across all First4Feet Foot clinics, a Full Foot Treatment will not only leave your feet feeling in tip-top condition but most importantly it can identify any issues before they become too serious and enable any required treatment to begin promptly
Toe/Finger Nail Cutting
If you struggle to cut your toenails and fingernails, possibly due to a difficulty in maintaining a safe grip of the clippers, or struggle to reach your toenails we can help. The process of how to cut toenails differs slightly from that of how to cut fingernails.
Nursing Home Visits
Are you struggling to find a reliable practitioner who can provide exceptional treatment for your residents? Do you need someone who takes the time to understand every patient and their needs, but also understands the pressures on you and your team?
