Do you have cold feet? Do you get cramps in your legs? Is the distance and time you can walk becoming less and less?  Do you have a Heart Condition, Diabetes?  Are you a smoker? Do you have Vitamin Deficiency?

These are only a small number of conditions that affect the Vascular Supply to the lower limbs and feet.

Have you had your circulation checked? At our clinic we have a machine called a Doppler Ultrasound. Doppler Ultrasound can measure how much blood reaching your feet. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients, which is required for healing.

If you are not getting enough blood down to your feet you are not getting enough nutrients to maintain healthy skin. In cases this can cause the skin to breakdown and ulcerate and in some cases may cause gangrene.

Call now to have your blood flow assessed. The team at Heather Bassett Podiatry Group  will advise you of measures to put in place to prevent further decrease in blood flow and educate you on how to prevent complications.
