Professional & Diabetic Foot Care
Chiropodists are skilled in assessing their patient’s needs, and managing both acute and chronic conditions. At Step Right Foot Clinic, we perform a full medical history and foot assessment, which include vascular, neurological, dermatological, biomechanical and footwear assessments. We then determine a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes various treatment options and education.

We also teach our clients proper diabetic foot care so they can take the appropriate steps to care for their feet.
