Why a Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessment Matters

Diabetes can affect the nerves and circulation in your feet, often without causing pain or obvious symptoms. Over time, this can increase the risk of:

  • Loss of protective sensation

  • Reduced blood supply

  • Delayed healing and infection

  • Foot ulceration and, in severe cases, amputation

Early detection through a structured, evidence-based assessment is the most effective way to reduce these risks and protect your long-term foot health.

Why a Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessment Matters

Diabetes can affect the nerves and circulation in your feet, often without causing pain or obvious symptoms. Over time, this can increase the risk of:

  • Loss of protective sensation (neuropathy)

  • Reduced blood supply (vascular disease)

  • Delayed healing and infection

  • Foot ulceration and, in severe cases, amputation

A structured, in-depth assessment allows early detection of these changes, helping to prevent complications before they occur.
