Collington Podiatry your local podiatrist in Brighton and Hove recommends an annual diabetes foot health assessment that includes vascular, neurological and musculo-skeletal testing; as well as regular skin and nail care if required.
Diabetes Care
Diabetes can have a significant impact on the feet. The most common issues are reduction in blood supply and nerve function, which can in turn lead to vulnerability to infection, altered foot shape, pain, tissue damage and ulceration. Thankfully with careful blood sugar control and good podiatry care many of these problems can be avoided or effectively treated (either in-clinic or via specialist referral).

Visiting Collington Podiatry
Some of my patients tell me that they didn’t know what to expect before visiting a podiatrist, or even that they felt nervous about it. Happily, podiatry appointments are a very comfortable and easy experience! On your first visit we undertake a foot health assessment, which involves an understanding of your general health, so it is useful to bring a list of any medication you may be taking. It would also be helpful to bring any shoes you regularly wear, as the wear-patterns provide useful information about your feet and walking-style.
Our Aim
Every treatment is explained beforehand, and undertaken very gently. The clinic is airy, modern, and fully equipped to the highest quality. The whole experience should be very relaxing and leave you feeling as if you are ‘walking on air’.
