At Revival Podiatry, we provide comprehensive assessment and management of high-risk feet and lower limb wounds. Early intervention is essential to reduce the risk of infection, delayed healing, hospitalization and, in severe cases, amputation.

Our podiatrists work closely with your GP, endocrinologist, vascular surgeon, wound care nurse and other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated, evidence-based care that supports healing and protects your long-term foot health.

Whether you have diabetes, poor circulation, nerve damage or a wound that isn’t healing, we’re here to help.

What Is a High-Risk Foot?

A high-risk foot is one that has an increased likelihood of developing wounds, infection or other serious complications due to underlying medical conditions.

Factors that increase your risk include:

• Diabetes

• Peripheral neuropathy (loss of feeling in the feet)

• Peripheral arterial disease (poor circulation)

• Previous foot ulceration

• Previous amputation

• Foot deformities such as bunions, claw toes or Charcot foot

• Kidney disease

• Reduced mobility

• Poor vision that makes self-foot care difficult

If you have one or more of these risk factors, regular podiatry care is essential to help prevent complications before they occur.

Wounds We Commonly Manage

Our podiatrists assess and manage a wide range of lower limb wounds, including:

• Diabetic foot ulcers

• Pressure ulcers

• Neuropathic ulcers

• Venous leg ulcers

• Arterial ulcers

• Traumatic wounds

• Post-surgical wounds

• Skin tears

• Slow-healing wounds

• Foot wounds caused by friction or ill-fitting footwear

Every wound is carefully assessed to determine the underlying cause, as successful healing depends on addressing more than just the wound itself.

Comprehensive Wound Assessment

At your appointment, we’ll perform a detailed assessment that may include:

• Measuring the size and depth of the wound

• Assessing the wound bed and surrounding skin

• Looking for signs of infection

• Assessing blood flow and circulation

• Testing protective sensation (nerve function)

• Identifying pressure points contributing to the wound

• Reviewing footwear and activity levels

• Assessing your overall risk of future complications

Where appropriate, we may recommend referral for further investigations or liaise directly with your GP or specialist.

Our Wound Management Approach

Every wound is different, and treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

Management may include:

Wound Debridement

Removing dead or unhealthy tissue helps create a healthy wound environment and supports the body’s natural healing process.

Dressing Selection

We use evidence-based wound dressings chosen according to the type of wound, the amount of drainage and the stage of healing.

Dressings are reviewed regularly and adjusted as the wound progresses.

Pressure Offloading

Reducing pressure is often one of the most important parts of healing foot ulcers.

Depending on your condition, this may include:

• Padding

• Felt offloading

• Pressure-relieving footwear

• Custom orthoses

• Moon boots or other offloading devices where appropriate

Infection Monitoring

Early recognition of infection is critical.

We carefully monitor for signs of infection and will communicate promptly with your GP if antibiotics, imaging or specialist referral are required.

Preventing Recurrence

Healing the wound is only part of the journey.

Once your wound has healed, we work with you to reduce the risk of future ulceration through regular monitoring, footwear advice, pressure management and ongoing podiatry care.

Diabetic Foot Care

People living with diabetes are at increased risk of developing foot complications due to reduced sensation and impaired circulation.

Regular podiatry assessments can help identify problems before they become serious.

We provide:

• Comprehensive diabetic foot assessments

• Risk screening

• Routine nail and skin care

• Callus reduction

• Footwear assessment

• Pressure redistribution

• Education on daily foot care

• Ongoing monitoring for patients at increased risk
