How we assess and investigate
Podiatry assessment begins with a full lower limb and foot examination including vascular assessment (pulses, capillary refill, ankle-brachial pressure index for high-risk patients), neurological screening (monofilament, vibration), skin and nail assessment, and musculoskeletal assessment of the foot and ankle. Gait analysis using visual and video-based assessment identifies biomechanical contributors. Pressure mapping is used for diabetic foot assessment and orthotic design.
Treatment options at The Vesey

I have diabetes — why is podiatry important?
Diabetes can cause peripheral neuropathy and reduced blood flow, making foot injuries slow to heal and at risk of ulceration. Regular podiatry assessment is essential for high-risk diabetic feet.
