We are pleased to have integrated the latest Footscan technology into all of our diabetic foot assessments as standard. Footscans can identify abnormalities in foot pressure and distribution before any physical symptoms emerge. This early detection can allow for pre-emptive intervention, with the aim to reduce ulceration and subsequent infection. Customised orthotics can be made, using precise data from the footscan, ensuring optimal support and pressure relief. At Soft Soles Essex Ltd, we believe in a preventative approach to foot-care and by identifying risk factors early we hope to help as many people prevent problems rather than dealing with the slow process of fixing them. A personalised care plan will be written for each person, which may include footwear, lifestyle advise, and or lifestyle changes to mitigate risk. We are moving forward into the new age, performing date driven health care rather than the ‘watch, wait and hope’ approach.
