You should take special care if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, and chiropody can offer an important element of care. The long-term effects of diabetes, such as loss of sensation, poor circulation and impaired vision, place patients at a higher risk for serious foot infections and potential amputations.
A chiropodist provides individual assessment to establish the circulatory and neurological status of your feet, as well as personalised advice regarding your specific foot care needs.
WE TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET
The chiropodists at Clínica La Siesta are professionals skilled in assessing the needs of their patients and managing both chronic and acute conditions affecting foot and lower limb function. They manage a wide variety of disorders, injuries and local manifestations of systemic conditions.
They are licensed to perform ‘regulated’ or ‘controlled’ acts such as advanced general foot care techniques, local anaesthetic, toenail surgery, biomechanical assessments, gait analysis. Chiropodists diagnose, prescribe and dispense custom made orthotics and they can prescribe oral and topical medications.
