🌍💙 World Diabetes Day 💙🌍
This year’s theme is Diabetes and Well-being, with a special focus on Diabetes in the Workplace.

Did you know? 👇
💼 7 in 10 people living with diabetes are of working age
🧠 3 in 4 have experienced anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition because of diabetes
😔 4 in 5 experience diabetes burnout - emotional and physical exhaustion.

Diabetes can affect your whole body, including your feet 👣 and eyes 👁️:

⚡ Nerve damage (Peripheral Neuropathy): Diabetes can damage the nerves in your extremities (hands and feet), which can result in a loss of sensation. You might not be able to feel minor cuts, blisters, or even hot or cold temperatures which could lead to unnoticed injuries that can become serious infections.
👀 Eye damage (Diabetic Retinopathy): Damage to the nerves in your eyes can lead to reduced or impaired vision, which may make it harder to see any minor injuries that have been sustained.
💔 Reduced blood circulation (Ischaemia): Diabetes can impair the blood flow to your extremities. Poor circulation means slower healing, and a decrease in the body’s ability to fight off infections, meaning even small injuries are more likely to lead to big problems.

🦶 What is a verruca & why do we get them?
A verruca (also known as a plantar wart) is a small, rough growth that usually appears on the soles of the feet. It’s caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) — with multiple strains that can infect the outer layer of the skin.

👉 Why do we get them?
-🦠 HPV exposure: the virus thrives in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools, gyms, and communal showers. It enters the skin through tiny cuts and abrasions.
-💧 Weakened skin barrier: dry, cracked skin or minor injuries make it easier for the virus to enter.
-🚶‍♀️ Barefoot walking: especially in public places.

⚠️ Are verrucae contagious?
Yes - they can spread from person to person, or even from one part of your foot to another. This is why early treatment and good foot hygiene are so important.

🦴 Our resident skeleton, Jack, is taking part in Movember this year! 👨🏻‍🦱💚

‘Movember’ has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world 🌍. Men’s health is in crisis - men on average die 4.5 years earlier than women, and for mostly preventable reasons.

Movember helps raise awareness and funds for men’s issues including testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and mental health & su***de prevention. 💪🧠

Let’s all do our part this November to support men’s health! 👏

👻💀 Have you met Jack, our resident skeleton? 💀👻

He usually hides out in Diane’s treatment room. 🦴💆‍♀️

He’s very well behaved, doesn’t say much and never causes a fuss… but Hallowe’en is his favourite time of year! 🎃🕸️🕷️

💡 Tip of the Day - Avoid Prolonged Rest 💡

Lots of people think that bed rest and doing nothing when they are injured is beneficial. This is actually counterproductive and should be avoided if possible. 🚫🛏️

Immobility leads to muscle weakness and stiffness, poor circulation (which means poor healing), constipation, loss of flexibility, low mood and depression - all things which can contribute to a slower recovery and more pain. 😣

Gentle movement and keeping to your normal daily routine where possible are much better to keep your muscles strong, aid healing and maintain your normal spinal mobility. 💪🧘‍♀️🚶‍♂️

🚶‍♂️👣 Why does gait analysis matter? 👣🚶‍♀️

The way you walk and run affects your entire body. 💪🦶
When you book in for a Footscan gait analysis with Katie, one of our podiatrists, the pressure pad shows how you move and weight bear. 📊👟
Your scan can tell us if everything is in alignment and if you’re moving correctly. ✅
We’ve been testing team members in the clinic, and the results are fascinating! 🤓
We even managed to pick up an unusual weight distribution that we simply wouldn’t have been able to spot by visual observation alone. 👀💡
Recognising these issues means we can do something about them. 🙌
Ignoring gait issues is likely to cause pain, discomfort or impaired performance. ⚠️😣

🦴 What do I need to do for my Osteopathy appointment at Bromborough Osteopathy Clinic? 👇

✅ Prepare a list of your symptoms, and your medical history, as this helps us to work out what the problem might be.
👕 Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, but bear in mind that it’s usual to see the area of complaint, so we may ask you to undress down to your underwear if you are comfortable doing so.
⏰ Arrive early and don’t forget your specs if you need them, as we will need you to fill in a consent form.
🤝 You are welcome to bring someone to accompany you during your appointment if you’d like.

✨ We’re here to make your visit as comfortable and effective as possible!

👣 Living with diabetes? Your feet deserve extra love and attention! Here are some common signs to watch out for:

1️⃣ Loss of sensation - Can’t feel small cuts or blisters? Nerve damage might be reducing feeling in your feet.
2️⃣ Thickened or discoloured toenails - Yellow, brittle nails may point to fungal infection or circulation issues.
3️⃣ Ingrown toenails - These can become painful or infected, especially if healing is slower.
4️⃣ Tingling, burning or pain - That “pins and needles” feeling could be nerve damage (neuropathy).
5️⃣ Wound that won’t heal - Slow healing increases your risk of infection and ulcers.
6️⃣ Dry or cracked skin - Nerve changes can reduce natural oils, leaving feet dry and vulnerable.

💚 Regular foot checks and podiatry care help prevent complications before they start.

👉 Book your diabetic foot check with Bromborough Osteopathy & Podiatry Clinic today!

It’s ALWAYS OK to ask for help, no matter what you’re going through. 💚
