For people living with diabetes, the feet are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body and one of the most commonly overlooked. Even small injuries can lead to serious infections or ulcers if they go unnoticed, especially when there is nerve damage or poor blood circulation. At Vitalis Health, we offer a comprehensive Diabetic Foot Safety Check to protect your feet before complications arise.
Diabetes can cause a gradual loss of sensation in the feet, a condition known as peripheral neuropathy. When you can’t feel pressure, pain, or temperature properly, it becomes easier to miss minor injuries, calluses, or blisters. Over time, these can lead to serious issues like non-healing wounds, infections, or even amputations if not caught early.
Our foot check begins with an evaluation of sensory function. Using advanced tools, we test your ability to feel light touch, pressure, temperature, and vibration. This helps us detect any early signs of nerve damage, even if you haven’t noticed symptoms yet.
Next, we assess blood flow to your feet using Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) testing. Poor circulation can delay healing and increase the risk of foot ulcers. Early identification of vascular problems allows us to take proactive steps to improve blood supply and prevent long-term damage.
We also examine your foot structure, skin condition, and pressure points to identify areas of friction or deformity that could become trouble spots over time. In some cases, we may recommend customized footwear, offloading techniques, or regular podiatric care based on your risk level.
You will receive a personalized foot health report with practical guidance on daily foot care, footwear choices, and red flags to watch out for. Our goal is to help you feel confident that your feet are safe—and to empower you to keep them that way.
Don’t wait for foot problems to appear before taking action. Regular foot checks are a vital part of comprehensive diabetes care.
