Looking after your feet as a Diabetic

Jennifer, a foot health practitioner at Body Consultancy Christchurch, plays a vital role in helping people with diabetes care for their feet. Diabetes can cause various complications, particularly affecting circulation and nerve sensitivity in the feet, making professional foot care essential. Jennifer’s expertise in diabetic foot health ensures her clients receive the specialized attention needed to prevent and manage these complications.

At Body Consultancy, Jennifer provides thorough foot health assessments, checking for signs of neuropathy, poor circulation, and wounds that might go unnoticed due to reduced sensation. She offers practical advice on maintaining foot hygiene, moisturizing to prevent dryness and cracking, and trimming nails to avoid injury. Her preventive care helps reduce the risk of infections, ulcers, and more severe complications like amputation.

Jennifer also works closely with her clients to manage existing foot issues, such as corns and calluses, before they develop into more serious problems. Her holistic approach ensures that diabetic patients not only address foot issues early on but also learn effective self-care practices to protect their feet long-term.

With Jennifer’s guidance at Body Consultancy Christchurch, individuals with diabetes can improve their foot health, enhancing mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.
