Book Your Enhanced Diabetic Foot Assessment

Vascular Assessment in Harborne, Birmingham

At The Podiatry Clinics Harborne, Birmingham we will check your circulation and give you preventative education and treatment strategies to manage poor circulation, which is responsible for:

  • Delayed healing

  • Cold feet, cyanosed (blue)

  • Chilblains

  • Muscle cramping/pain when walking or at rest

  • Poor skin/nail conditions

  • Reduction in hair growth

Reduced circulation also increases your risk category and more frequent diabetes foot assessments will need to be undertaken by the podiatrist in Harborne, Birmingham. The combination of numb, insensitive feet (neuropathy) and poor circulation means cuts or injuries may go unnoticed and progress to infected ulcers which may heal poorly.

The podiatrist at The Podiatry Clinics Harborne, Birmingham will educate you in respect to monitoring for infection, giving you extensive education on diabetes and foot related risks. They will provide you with advice on daily diabetic foot care and preventative strategies for diabetic foot complications.
