Diabetic Foot Assessment

Have you been diagnosed with diabetes?

cropped-favicon-2.png

Would you like a diabetic foot check to ensure everything is being monitored?

If so, we are here to help.

Although many diabetics receive a yearly diabetic foot examination at the NHS, many of our patients like the comfort of having additional foot checks to help give them peace of mind and catch any issues early.

What can be an insignificant issue to someone without Diabetes, can quickly develop into a wound, infection and even ulceration in the diabetic foot.

4 Main Areas On Our Diabetic Foot Screening Assessment

In line with NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) during a diabetic foot screening appointment we will cover 4 main areas:

Neurological assessment

It is essential that we check the function of the nerves in the feet. This is done by using a diagnostic tool such as a monofilament.

Vascular Assessment

In diabetics circulation issues can often arise. As lower limb specialists, podiatrists are trained to identify any skin and nail issues that may highlight vascular issues. During the assessment we will use a machine called a Doppler ultrasound which allows us to hear the blood flowing through the arteries, so we can assess the strength and regularity of the blood flow. We will also take your blood pressure, as high blood pressure is a risk factor associated with diabetes.

General Diabetic Footcare Advice

We will answer any questions you may have to help ensure that your feet are well cared for between appointments. We can also supply diabetic socks, to minimise rubbing issues.

Identify Any Foot Issues

If any other foot issues such as corns or fissures are evident we will discuss treatment required. Treatment for those issues identified may require a future appointment to be booked (at additional cost).

Following the assessment we will send a report to your GP with our findings, to keep them up to date with your foot health.

I saw Ben regarding several issues with my feet and lower legs. His attention to detail was excellent and I was really impressed with the service.

I’ve suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for many years. After numerous trips to the doctors, physio’s and private physio’s but to no avail, I seen an advert on Facebook for the Foot & Ankle Clinic and by this time I could hardly walk/shuffle to the toilet of a morning. I made an appointment straight away. In my first consultation i was diagnosed as definitely having Plantar Fasciitis and was given some exercises to do at home for a few weeks before my next appointment. The difference in the lack of pain by my second appointment was amazing I could get out of bed and walk straight away no more shuffling, I’m not going to lie there was still pain there but it was so much more bearable. I’m now doing weight bearing exercises using bottles of water in a bag and a Wii step to strengthen my Plantar and having Mobilisation on both feet and it’s just getting better and better each week the pain is hardly there anymore. I have a long way to go as I’ve suffered for years but it’s all going in the right direction. I can’t thank the Foot Clinic enough they’ve been so helpful from the receptionist having to change my appointments last minute due to Covid and to Nicola for being my saviour. I brag about you to all my friends and family and I would even recommend you to a stranger 😀

Having injured my foot during lockdown in the garden I had been in awful pain the whole time and could not get a appointment with my doctor, I was taken regular pain killers , a friend of mine mentioned The Foot Clinic to me and said they might able to help, I attended a consultation with Lucy and she gave me a exercise program to complete over a three week period, this was seven weeks ago, I have now been pain free for nearly five weeks, I have'nt taken a pain killer for six weeks. I cant thank Lucy enough, she was very knowledgeable and put me at ease straight away. I cannot recommend Lucy and her team enough. Thank you Suzie

From the lovely, kind receptionist to the caring and very professional treatment from Nicola and Ben I cannot praise the Foot Clinic enough. After an accident with my foot earlier in the year I was left in a lot of pain and my walking balance was dreadful for months. After the Foot Clinic's help I am feeling 100% improved. Would highly recommend - definitely!

Had two appointments so far. Very happy with all the information I have been given. A lovely, relaxing, very professional atmosphere and lovely staff. Continuing my treatment. Certainly s lot better than a doctor's appointment lasting 10 minutes and not really resolving any issues , just putting a name to my problem.

I have been delighted with my experience of receiving successful treatment at the foot clinic in Darlington. All members of staff are very friendly, caring and helpful.

Ann Thomas


Problem diagnosed and solved! I chose to come to the Foot Clinic because it seemed to offer a range of treatments. I know that I can come back for further advice and treatment in the future in the knowledge that I will be professionally and sympathetically dealt with.

Alison


Foot inspection for in-growing toe nail prevention, dressing the foot, checking circulation and general foot health and toe & toenail maintenance. Reception staff extremely pleasant and welcoming. The clinician was very professional and diligent in his approach to the tasks involved. Very clean and relaxed environment and would highly recommend treatment.

Alan C


I have complete faith in the professionalism of those at the Clinic. I have been suffering with the pain of neuromas for some years now. I am reluctant to have an operation, which was offered. Ben suggested conservative treatment, which he and his colleagues are trained and qualified to give. These treatments have definitely helped, and although the neuromas will not disappear, the treatments given at the Clinic have meant that I can still lead a physically active life. For example I am able to do aerobics classes, and walk at least 5 miles before any pain kicks in on my left foot. This is the best chiropody clinic I have ever attended, and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I have used ‘The Foot Clinic’ twice and found it to be the best in the area. It’s incredibly clean, the podiatrists knowledgeable, and has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It’s like going to the Dentist but without the fear or pain. Go on give your feet a treat!!!!.
