How is gout diagnosed?
Gout is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and tests such as blood tests to measure uric acid levels and imaging tests to detect crystal deposits in the joints. Your podiatrist works with your GP, who can arrange these tests.

Treatments for gout include medicines prescribed by your GP to reduce pain and inflammation, lifestyle changes such as diet modifications, and ongoing management to prevent future flare-ups. At Keep Me Walking Podiatry, we create personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Can gout be prevented?
Yes, gout can often be prevented with lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in purines, staying hydrated, managing weight, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
