Neurovascular Assessment

The 10-Minute Foot Test That Could Save You from Serious Health Issues

Your feet matter. Start with the check that puts you one step ahead.

At My Foot Soul, we believe that good foot care starts with understanding what’s happening inside your feet, not just what you can see on the outside.

That’s why for every new patient, we begin with a Neurovascular Assessment. It only takes about 10 minutes, but it gives us a lot of important information about your foot health.

Let us walk you through it!

What’s a Neurovascular Assessment?

It’s a simple test we do to see:

📌How well you feel things with your feet (like touch or pressure)

📌How well blood flows to your feet

Healthy feet need both good feeling and good blood flow to stay strong, heal properly, and avoid serious problems, especially if you have diabetes or often feel cold or numb in your feet.

Why do we do this test?

Because sometimes, you won’t feel a problem until it’s too late. This test helps us catch early signs of:

⚠️ Poor circulation (your blood isn’t flowing well to your feet)

⚠️ Nerve damage (your feet may be numb or tingly)

⚠️ Diabetic foot problems (like wounds or ulcers that don’t heal)

By spotting these issues early, we can help prevent more serious problems later.

How does the test work?

Don’t worry, it’s gentle, safe, and doesn’t hurt.

We use:

A soft thread (monofilament) to check if you can feel light touches.

A Doppler machine to listen to your blood flow (like an ultrasound).

A pulse check and a quick look at your skin’s colour and temperature.

It’s all done while you sit or lie down comfortably. No needles, no pain.

Is Neurovascular Assessment important for me?

Yes, especially if you:

⚠️ Have diabetes

⚠️ Often feel numb, cold, or tingly feet

⚠️ Have discoloured feet or toes

⚠️ Are just starting foot care and want to stay ahead of any issues

Even if you feel fine, it’s always better to check now than wait until something goes wrong.

What Happens Next?

📌Once we’ve done this quick check, we’ll know the best next step for your feet. That might be:

📌A Routine Treatment for nail and skin care

📌A Full Assessment and Treatment if you need deeper care

📌Starting Onyfix Nail Correction if you have painful or curved nails

📌Or even beginning verruca treatments if we spot a problem area

We tailor your care to what your feet truly need. Nothing more, nothing less.
