Did you know our Podiatrists provide circulation testing as well?
Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and vascular testing is a non-invasive assessment used by podiatrists to help evaluate blood flow to the lower limbs. By comparing blood pressure readings at the ankle and the arm, this testing can assist in identifying signs of reduced circulation that may impact foot and leg health.
Vascular testing may be used to help:
- Screen for possible peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Assess lower limb circulation in people with diabetes or cardiovascular risk factors
- Support clinical decision-making for wound care and healing capacity
- Monitor changes in circulation over time
- Guide appropriate referrals to GPs or medical specialists
The assessment is quick, painless, and performed using specialised equipment by trained podiatrists. Results are provided to help inform discussions with your healthcare team and support coordinated care where further investigation or management is required.
