Foot Wound Care

Evaluation and individualized care for chronic, diabetic, or non-healing foot wounds.

Specialized Foot Wound Evaluation

Chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and injuries that are not healing may need specialized attention. An evaluation considers the wound, pressure on the area, infection concerns, circulation, sensation, and other health factors.

Care Options

Depending on the findings, care may include debridement, dressings, offloading devices, infection management, or coordination with vascular and other specialists. Some complex cases may require a procedure or surgery.

When to Call

Call the office promptly for a new or worsening wound, redness, swelling, drainage, odor, or other concerning change. Do not use the online form for an urgent problem. Call 911 for an emergency.
