Diabetes Foot Health
Diabetes Foot Health & Ulcer Prevention
Managing foot health is vital for anyone living with diabetes. At Western Sydney Foot Clinic, our dedicated Diabetes Foot Health service combines thorough assessment, risk stratification, and evidence-based treatments to prevent complications like ulcers, infections, and amputation.
Key Components of Our Diabetes Foot Clinic:
- Comprehensive Foot Risk Assessment: Regular screenings for neuropathy (sensory testing), peripheral arterial disease (Doppler ultrasound), and structural deformities.
- Ulcer Prevention Programs: Custom offloading solutions (orthotics, padding), patient education on daily foot inspection, and footwear reviews to minimise pressure points.
- Wound & Ulcer Management: Advanced dressing techniques, infection control, and collaboration with diabetes educators and vascular specialists for timely referrals.
- Education & Self-Care Training: Instruction on proper nail trimming, skin care, moisture balance, and warning signs to watch—empowering patients to take control of their foot health.
- Endorsed Prescriber Services: As AHPRA-endorsed prescribers, we can initiate and monitor antibiotic therapy when needed, ensuring rapid treatment of infections.
Our podiatrists maintain close communication with your GP, endocrinologist, or diabetes educator, creating a team-based approach. Early intervention and regular follow-up visits reduce the risk of hospital admissions related to diabetic foot complications.
