Diabetic foot care and screening in Ballymena

Get In Step Podiatry provides diabetic foot care and screening in Ballymena with a clinical, prevention-focused approach led by HCPC registered chiropodist Dr. Elaine Hoey. Diabetes can affect sensation and circulation, increasing the risk of unnoticed injury, infection and complications. Our role is to spot problems early, support safer foot function, and guide you towards confident self-care, so issues are treated before they become more serious.

Our practice specialises in chiropody, gait and postural analysis, orthotics and lower limb/foot pain. That means your screening is not only about what the feet look like today, but also how your walking pattern may be contributing to pressure points, callus build-up and high-risk areas. With Henry Street services available for individuals and families across Ballymena, we aim to keep you moving with specialist care you can trust.

What you can expect during your diabetic foot screening appointment:

• Clinical assessment and foot checks to identify risk factors, skin changes and areas of pressure
• Careful examination of nails, corns, hard skin and callus, with advice tailored to your condition
• Review of gait and lower limb biomechanics to understand how movement and posture may be affecting your feet
• Personalised treatment planning, including guidance on foot hygiene and preventative routines
• Professional education on what to monitor at home, plus when to seek help between appointments
• Where appropriate, recommendations for offloading strategies and supportive orthotic options to reduce stress on high-risk areas

We provide proactive care for diabetic foot health, helping to reduce preventable complications and support better outcomes. If you are living with diabetes and want a thorough, specialist screening in Ballymena, we are here to help.
