Foot Care - Champlain

Basic foot care includes assessment of the condition of the feet, pedicures, treatment of basic foot conditions, skin care advice and sensitivity testing for diabetes. This level of care is usually provided by nurses at clinics or in the home.

See Chiropody Clinics for advanced foot care.

Regular foot care is essential for people with diabetes. All people with diabetes should receive a diabetic foot assessment by a regulated health professional at least once every year. Foot assessments should be completed by a nurse with speciality training, a chiropodist, a podiatrist or your doctor. During your foot assessment, your provider should:
  • Check the condition of your skin on the top and bottom of your feet and toe nails
  • Check the circulation within your feet, by assessing both temperature and pulses
  • Check the feeling in your feet, for example by using a monofilament tool or tuning fork
  • Assess the shape and structure of your feet
  • Look for corns, calluses, hammer toes and other foot conditions
  • Inspect your footwear; badly fitting or inappropriate footwear can cause serious problems
  • Answer any questions you may have about your feet, or tell you where you can have your questions answered

It is important that you listen to the advice given by your healthcare provider. If your foot assessment discovers problems with your feet you may need to see another provider for specialist treatment. Foot problems can develop especially fast in people living with diabetes. If you have an open foot wound that is having trouble healing, seek immediate medical help.
