Diabetic foot assessment Macquarie Fields
If you’re diabetic and you have wounds in your feet that don’t heal, our specialists can carry out the following for you:
- A full neurovascular assessment of the feet (assessing blood flow using a doppler)
- A test on the nerve sensation in the feet using a 10gram monofilament and 128Hz vibrating tuning fork
- An observational assessment of the skin and nails looking for potential pressure areas, wounds and maceration
- A risk status report based on the findings
- Referrals to GP and other health professionals
In addition, we’ll learn more about your health history for a more complete assessment. We’ll take the time to listen to you and get to know more about you so we can create a truly personalised treatment plan for you.

Aside from diabetic feet problems and concerns, many of our patients have also come to us because of the following:
- Ingrown toenail
- Heel and arch pain
- Plantar warts
- Bunions
- Morton’s neuroma (often described as a feeling like you have a pebble in your shoe or a fold in your socks)
- Various nail conditions (fungal nail infection, nail psoriasis, subungual haematoma)
Even if there’s no severe wound or pain, patients still have come to us because they’re experiencing the following:
- First few steps in the morning are painful
- Feet and legs ache within a few hours of working
- Pain inside the foot and arch area
- Foot pain has become worse
Problems about feet and toenails can quickly get worse if neglected (especially for those with diabetes). It might then affect your mobility, work, lifestyle and overall quality of life. To prevent that, a timely assessment plus a personalised treatment plan can save you from a lot of trouble.
