Diabetic Wound Care

Diabetic foot ulcers need specialized attention... and fast.

What It Is

Diabetic foot ulcers are open sores that develop most often on the bottom of the foot, caused by a combination of nerve damage and poor circulation common with diabetes. Because reduced sensation can mask pain, these wounds are often discovered later than they should be.

Signs To Watch For

A sore or wound that isn't healing after 2+ weeks

Redness, swelling, or warmth around a wound

Drainage or an unpleasant odor

Numbness or tingling in the feet

How We Treat It

Our approach combines wound debridement, offloading pressure from the affected area, infection management, and close monitoring - with attention to the underlying circulation and blood sugar factors that slow healing.
