I have diabetes, why is it important I get my feet checked?

Diabetes can affect both the nerves and the blood supply in your feet. This may reduce your ability to feel pain, heat, or injury, and it can also slow down the healing of cuts or sores. Because of this, taking simple preventive steps can help you avoid complications. These include avoiding open-toed shoes, checking water temperature before getting into a bath, attending regular podiatry check-ups, and not walking barefoot. These measures are important in reducing the risk of diabetes-related foot problems.

How many podiatry treatments will I need?

This varies depending on several factors, including the nature of the problem and the individual. Routine care for superficial foot conditions may require ongoing, regular appointments. We strongly promote preventative foot care and will provide guidance to help reduce the likelihood of issues recurring. Your podiatrist will discuss the expected frequency and duration of treatment during your initial assessment.

What can I expect when I receive podiatry treatment?

Each appointment at Luckie Foot Clinic includes a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and personalised management plan. We provide clear explanations of your condition and thorough advice, giving you plenty of opportunity to discuss your concerns and ask questions. Most treatments are painless, and many patients experience immediate relief—especially for superficial skin conditions.
