Providing essential foot care for people with Diabetes is a role we take seriously.
\nThose with diabetes are prone to significant foot problems and require regular assessment to ensure they are not developing complications that can include ulcers, nerve damage or circulation impairment. Having diabetes can increase your risk of foot ulcers and amputations.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/melbournefootclinic.bookings.pracsuite.com\/guest” button_text=”Book online” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_icon=”||fa||400″ button_on_hover=”off” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”tel:+61398902212″ button_text=”Call (03) 9890 2212″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”#233d78″ button_icon=”5||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f1″ custom_padding=”4.7%||2%||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”4.7%||4.7%||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”5.4%||7.6%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2.2%||0.3%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.6em” custom_margin=”||7px|||” custom_padding=”||22px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
