Diabetic Footcare
Diabetic Footcare
At Active Feet we will carry out a full neurological, vascular assessment with a doppler, assess your skin and nail conditions. Foot function will also be assessed to ensure that vulnerable pressure areas are supported and protected.
We feel prevention is key to ensure optimal foot health to keep you active to live the life you love. At your request we can forward a written copy of the assessment to your GP for information and for it to be added to your medical records.
Diabetic assessments can also be undertaken and inputted into your My Diabetes My Way record ensuring all health professionals involved in your care can view the results of this assessment. Any advice given will be tailored for your foot health to ensure the best outcome for you.

EXCELLENTBased on 22 reviewsKevin BruceVery professional and pleasant team at Active Feet. Highly recommended!Moira O'FeeCan’t recommend Active Feet highly enough, their service is friendly, efficient and organised. Calvin in particular really helped me to resolve the issue I had with my foot. His assessment was thorough, treatment plan well-explained, and he was really friendly and personable.David WarneI've had 2 appointments with Calvin and he has improved my walking and pain through the use of orthotics and exercises. I'm really impressed by the thorough assessment and follow up and the results I've had. This has been a hugely positive experience and Calvin and reception team are very professional and friendly. Would highly recommendD CampbellAfter spending a lot of time and money trying off the shelf orthotics, a couple of visits to Calvin at Active Feet, and professionally modified insoles, appears to have sorted the problem. I can't recommend him highly enough.John CampbellI cannot recommend this place highly enough. My son who is autistic had problems with his toe nails, he was seen by Jamie who was so good and patient with him. He took his time and talked him through what was happening putting my son at ease. Top class service.Lee SkinnerHad my ever first podiatry appointment today. Staff are extremely helpful and very welcoming, was seen by Louis today and was very professional and gave great advice/treatment. Totally made me feel at ease.B II went to them to treat a verruca on my foot. They were very honest about the situation and they told me it will take too many sessions before we start see any results. They were very professional and very careful about looking after my foot, totally recommend them. Update, after 3 sessions using Swift my foot started to get very itchy but the verruca did not change in size at all. I called the GP and it gave me Daktacort cream. After a week, the verruca started to disappear. I continued using it once a week after that and the verruca completely disappeared. Daktacort cream is not used for verruca but it had a magic effect on it. They should start using it for verruca, less pain and less money.CICI SalonI am very happy to have found Calvin, my feet are soft and no pain in my nails. Thank you very much!!!Recomend 100%Rosemarie ParkerBest £65 I have ever spent,no more pain when I walk.will highly recommend.thank you .
