Frequently Asked Questions

If you have diabetes, it’s important to stay on top of your foot health. These FAQs explain how podiatry can help prevent complications.

Diabetes can affect blood flow and nerve function in your feet, increasing the risk of infection, injury or ulcers that may go unnoticed without regular checks.

We assess your skin condition, circulation, and sensation using simple non-invasive tests. We will also check for pressure points, nail problems, or early signs of damage.

Most people with diabetes should have a foot check at least once a year. If you are at higher risk or have ongoing issues, you may need to come in more often.

Even if your feet feel fine, it is still important to have regular podiatry reviews. Some problems can develop gradually without causing pain, especially if your sensation is reduced.

Yes, podiatrists are trained to manage wounds and prevent infection. If needed, we’ll work with your GP or diabetic nurse to make sure you get the right care.

We will give you personalised advice on footwear, daily foot checks, and how to keep your feet healthy. Early action and the right guidance make all the difference.

In some cases, yes. But availability can vary depending on risk level and local services. Many people choose private podiatry for regular checks and quicker access.

What a wonderful and cheerful place this is, I first started going here just after the pandemic, I was having trouble with gout and fungus on my big toes, fiona has been looking after me and I go every 8 weeks, the staff are very friendly and always asking about your health.
During my last treatment at the beginning of March I was telling fiona about the knee pain I was having and how difficult it is to see a doctor, she told me about the laser treatment they do there for pain relief, she asked if I would like to try it, so I signed up for a 6 dose of treatment, you do not have to have a 6course but it was recommended.
Next day I went for the first half hour treatment, the next day I felt a big difference in the pain, upto now I have had 4 half hour sessions, and the difference to my knee has been unbelievable.
I am a 79yr old male and highly recommend this place, if you are suffering with any joint pain it is worth giving it a try. Thank you fiona and tessa.

Having suffered with knee discomfort and arthritis in both knees due to historic sporting injuries, I have had a course of laser therapy treatment, which has reduced my pain significantly. I 100% recommend this treatment. I was sceptical but was willing to try anything to reduce the pain in my knees, the proof is in the pudding! Thank you so much for recommending this treatment!
