Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Related Conditions
We Treat:
Diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Joint Conditions Peripheral Neuropathy Raynaud's Syndrome Stroke Other neurological disorders
A serious, lifelong condition where your blood glucose levels are too high. Over time, diabetes may cause damage to the nerves in your hands and feet, also known as Diabetic Neuropathy. This may cause pain, tingling or numbness. When you lose the feeling or sensation in your feet, this is when they become at risk of further complications.
Regular diabetic assessment, treatment and education from your Podiatrist can help you to manage and minimise the risk of further complications, such as ulceration and amputation. Annual Diabetic Foot Checks with specialist equipment are available and recommended to be carried out on an annual basis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Joint Conditions
Chronic autoimmune diseases may affect the shape and function of your ankles and feet. This may lead to higher incidence of corns and callus, and poor foot function resulting in pain. Our Podiatrists can advise on the best footwear, cushioning, padding and orthoses that may help to relieve aches and pains as well as prevent foot deformity.
