Preventative care for long-term health
What is it?
Your feet tell a story, and a comprehensive Lower Limb and Foot Health Assessment helps uncover what’s happening beneath the surface.
This in-depth screening by our expert podiatrists identifies problems before they become painful or serious, ensuring you stay active, mobile, and independent.
We assess:
- Circulation and nerve function
- Joint and muscle health
- Foot structure and posture
- Skin and nail condition
- Risk factors like diabetes or pregnancy
If needed, we may refer you for imaging such as X-rays or ultrasounds or other tests to investigate underlying conditions.
Why is it important?
Just like a dental check-up prevents tooth decay, foot health assessments prevent long-term complications like:
Plantar fasciitis, bunions, and arthritis
- Nerve damage and diabetic foot ulcers
- Circulatory issues linked to broader health concerns
- Postural problems that affect your knees, hips, and back
