Podiatry
Healthy feet for better mobility, independence, and diabetes control.
At SET Health, our Podiatry service plays a vital role in the prevention, early detection, and management of diabetes-related foot complications. Because diabetes can affect both circulation (blood flow) and nerve sensation (feeling) in the feet, even small injuries can develop into serious problems if left untreated. Regular foot care with a qualified Podiatrist is essential to keeping you safe, mobile, and independent.
Our Podiatrists are highly trained in assessing vascular and neurological health, identifying early warning signs of ulcers, infections, and structural changes. Through routine foot checks and ongoing management, we help you stay one step ahead of potential issues. Reducing the risk of complications and maintaining your overall wellbeing.
Our Podiatry Services Include:
- Comprehensive diabetes foot assessments
- Circulation and nerve testing (vascular and neurological exams)
- Wound and ulcer management
- Treatment of calluses, corns, and cracked heels
- Nail care, including ingrown toenail treatment
- Footwear education and orthotic recommendations
- Infection prevention and hygiene advice
- Ongoing monitoring for at-risk feet
Why Podiatry Matters in Diabetes Care
Diabetic foot problems are one of the most preventable complications of diabetes, with regular podiatry care reducing the risk of serious infections, hospitalisations, and amputations. Early detection and proactive management make all the difference.
