Diabetic Foot Check in Glasgow
If you live with diabetes, regular foot checks help identify changes in skin, circulation, sensation and pressure before they become bigger problems.
Foot pain? Find the cause.
For sore feet, nail pain, heel pain, verrucae, ankle problems or recurring lower-limb issues, start with a podiatry assessment.
Specialist podiatry at The Hub Glasgow is about understanding why the problem is happening, not just treating the sore bit.
You deserve a clear answer, not more guessing.
At The Hub Glasgow, podiatry, physiotherapy, diagnostics and rehabilitation sit together. That means we can look at the problem properly and guide you to the right next step.
Real people, real assessment and a plan that makes sense before you leave.
The Hub has been helping people move better since 1999. Our clinic pages are here to help you understand the likely routes, not self-diagnose. If something is painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you moving well, we want you assessed properly and pointed to the right care.
This is not basic foot care. It is specialist-level clinical reasoning.
The Hub Glasgow brings podiatry, MSK assessment, in-house diagnostic ultrasound, gait thinking and rehabilitation together. That is useful when symptoms are painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you from walking, running, training or working comfortably.

Questions people often ask
How often should I have a diabetic foot check?
Frequency depends on your risk level and any current foot problems. If you are unsure, a podiatry assessment can help decide what is sensible.
Should I ignore numbness if there is no pain?
No. Reduced sensation can mean you miss pressure, rubbing or injury. It is worth getting checked.
