For Early Detection & Care
Stay ahead of foot problems with preventive care.
Diabetes can affect your feet in ways you might not notice at first: reduced circulation, nerve changes, or slow-healing wounds. That’s why a diabetic foot exam is so important.
At Foot HQ, our podiatrists carefully assess your feet for early signs of concern, from changes in skin and nails to sensation and blood flow.
Every examination is personalised, giving you clear advice and a plan to protect your long-term foot health. Locals trust us because we focus on prevention and early action, not just treating issues once they appear.

Diabetic Foot Exam FAQ
Why are diabetic foot assessments important?
Diabetes can affect circulation and nerves in your feet, increasing the risk of ulcers, infections, and delayed healing. A diabetic foot assessment helps detect these problems early, so they can be managed before they become serious. Regular check-ups play a vital role in preventing long-term complications.
How often should I have a diabetic foot exam?
Most people with diabetes are advised to have at least one foot exam per year. However, if you’ve had previous ulcers, wounds, or circulation issues, more frequent visits may be recommended. Your podiatrist will guide you based on your level of risk.
What does a diabetic foot assessment involve?
A comprehensive exam may include:
- A review of your medical and diabetes history
- Sensation testing to check for neuropathy
- Circulation checks to assess blood flow
- A look at skin, nails, and wounds
- A footwear review to ensure proper support
How many sessions will I need?
Most people only need a diabetic foot exam once a year, but the number of visits depends on your health and risk factors. If you have ongoing circulation problems, neuropathy, or a history of ulcers, your podiatrist may recommend more frequent check-ups to keep your feet safe.
How can Foot HQ Podiatry help prevent complications?
After your assessment, we provide tailored recommendations. This may include daily care routines, footwear advice, exercise suggestions, or wound management strategies. Our focus is on prevention, keeping your feet safe, and reducing the risk of ulcers, infections, or hospitalisation.
