Preventative Care
Foothills Podiatry provides routine foot care services which focus on addressing preventative callus debridement and nail trimmings for high-risk patients, particularly those with compromised blood flow or neuropathic symptoms. These services help reduce the risk of infections and wounds which sometimes lead to amputations.

X-Ray Evaluation
During your initial visit, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to assess the condition of your feet. This often includes an X-ray to evaluate joint congruency, identifying any structural abnormalities that may contribute to pressure points or deformities.

Ultrasound Evaluation
Additionally, if circulation issues are suspected, we may order advanced vascular imaging studies to thoroughly assess blood flow in the lower extremities. This proactive approach allows us to address potential problems early and provide appropriate interventions.
