Conditions We Treat

High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, making feet vulnerable to wounds that are slow to heal. Our focus is limb preservation.

Usually found on the lower legs, these occur when leg veins have trouble sending blood back up to the heart, causing swelling and skin breakdown.

These form when prolonged pressure cuts off blood flow to the skin. They are common in patients with limited mobility or those confined to a bed.

Caused by poor blood circulation in the arteries (blocked arteries). These are often painful and typically appear on the toes, feet, or ankles.

Sometimes surgical incisions stall in their healing process due to infection, diabetes, or other underlying health factors.

We treat wounds from accidents, compromised skin grafts, radiation therapy issues, and crush injuries that require advanced therapies.

What to Expect

After a thorough evaluation (including diagnostic testing if needed), we will discuss a personalized treatment plan. This may include special dressings, offloading devices, or other advanced therapies.
