RECOGNISING HIGH-RISK SIGNS

Signs that require close clinical monitoring

Higher-risk foot health concerns often present with subtle or painless changes:

  • Reduced or lost sensation in toes or feet (neuropathy)
  • Cold feet, pale/bluish skin, or slow-healing minor cuts
  • Thickened, painful calluses or corns under pressure points
  • Foot deformities such as Charcot changes or severe claw toes
  • History of foot ulcers, poor circulation, or diabetes
  • Inability to reach or safely inspect your own feet

Regular preventative podiatry drastically reduces the risk of serious complications.

We work alongside your GP, vascular specialist, or endocrinologist.

UNDERSTANDING RISK FACTORS

What makes a foot high-risk?

Several systemic health conditions increase lower-limb vulnerability:

01

Peripheral neuropathy

Loss of protective pain sensation means minor injuries go unnoticed.

02

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

Restricted arterial blood flow starves tissues of oxygen and vital healing factors.

03

Rheumatoid arthritis & deformity

Joint erosion creates rigid pressure points susceptible to skin breakdown.

04

Immunosuppression

Reduced immune response makes even minor fungal or bacterial infections risky.

WHEN TO SEEK CARE

When to schedule an assessment

Protect your foot health by seeking timely care if:

  • You have diabetes, PAD, or neuropathy and haven't been screened recently
  • You notice skin colour changes, warmth, or localized swelling
  • You have hard calluses or corns that feel deep or discoloured underneath
  • You need safe, professional nail and skin care
