Expert Diabetic Foot Care & Circulation Concerns Treatment At White Hart Clinic
What Is It?
Diabetic foot care focuses on maintaining foot health in individuals at increased risk of reduced sensation or impaired circulation. Circulation problems may also occur independently of diabetes and can affect skin integrity and healing capacity.
Regular monitoring is important, as minor issues can progress if sensation or blood flow is reduced.
Symptoms
Numbness or tingling
Cold feet or colour changes
Slow-healing wounds
Persistent callus build-up
Skin cracking
Redness or localised warmth
Previous history of ulcers
Some circulation-related changes may occur without significant pain.
Why Does It Happen?
Foot complications may develop due to:
Reduced sensation (neuropathy)
Reduced circulation
Pressure points beneath the foot
Skin dryness and cracking
Foot deformity altering load
Previous ulceration
Difficulty managing routine foot care
When sensation is reduced, areas of pressure or injury may not be felt, increasing risk.

You may benefit from assessment if:
You have diabetes and require routine foot checks
You notice any break in the skin
Callus is building repeatedly
There are changes in colour or temperature
Healing appears delayed
You have a history of ulcers or infection
