Prevention is the Key here at Sutherland Foot Clinic

We don’t just check pulses, we use photoplethysmography (PPG) to measure blood pressure in your toes. The gold standard in vascular assessment of diabetics. This gives is a real value, that can be measured year after year to pick up any changes that may be occurring.

We also use Neurothesiometry which also gives us a measurable value in volts. This tests the level of sensation and helps monitor any loss of sensation over time.

We send a report to your GP within a week of performing our diabetic foot assessment.

Any significant change and your GP is notified immediately.
We also assess the dermatological condition of your feet and provide care where needed.

Footwear is thoroughly assessed.

Education is also a crucial and integral part of avoiding diabetic complications. We promote weight control, regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
