Consistent foot care is essential in preventing serious complications, and it greatly contributes to your comfort and confidence while walking.
How I Can Help
Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Assessment
Using Inlow’s 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screen, a monofilament test recommended by Diabetes Canada, I can check circulation, sensation, and skin integrity to identify any early signs of concern.
Preventive Nail and Skin Care
I trim nails carefully and manage skin health to reduce the risk of infections, ulcers, and other complications that are common in diabetic feet.
Wound Care
If you have minor wounds or skin breakdown, I provide gentle care to support healing and prevent further issues. For more serious concerns, I’ll guide you to the appropriate medical professional.
Circulation Checks
Monitoring blood flow is key to diabetic foot health. I assess circulation as part of every visit to help catch potential problems early.
Foot Health Education
I take the time to teach you how to care for your feet at home, from daily routines to recognizing warning signs, so you can stay proactive and confident in your health.
Referrals When Needed
If I notice anything that requires specialized attention, I’ll refer you to a podiatrist or physician to ensure you get the care you need.
Safety You Can Count On
All tools are thoroughly cleaned, packaged, and sterilized using medical-grade equipment. You can feel confident knowing your foot care is delivered with professionalism and care.
