Foot-Care Assessment
Foot-care Assessment
At Reed Footcare we offer our patients a foot assessment including a neuro-vascular assessment and a thorough inspection of your feet and advice on your ongoing foot health. The appointment allows us to get to know you and includes a medical history, foot examination and initial treatment.
Assessments typically include:
- Neurological (nerve supply to your feet)
- Vascular (blood supply to your feet)
- Dermatological (skin condition)
- Footwear (suitability for your needs)
- Risk assessment – low, moderate, or high-risk foot
Patients should bring a list of any medication they are currently taking.
Treatment can include:
- advice on how to maintain good foot hygiene
- nail cutting and filing
- moisturiser advice
- removing any callus (hard skin) or corns
- footwear and self-care advice
A specific treatment plan can be agreed depending on your level of risk. It is important to have the health of your foot assessed to ensure you put the best possible foot forward! We are delighted to assess and offer all our patients’ advice and guidance on foot care, footwear and the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of their feet.
This will form part of your appointment and your aftercare plan where we give you some guidelines to maintain excellent results at home.
