Relieve the discomfort of chronic foot wounds with South Florida Podiatry.
Chronic foot wounds can be painful, frustrating, and even dangerous if left untreated. Whether caused by poor circulation, injuries, or underlying health conditions, non-healing wounds put you at risk for infections and complications that can impact your mobility and overall quality of life. At South Florida Podiatry, we specialize in providing effective care for non-healing wounds, helping you regain comfort and prevent serious health issues.
Understanding Chronic Foot Wounds
Chronic foot wounds are open sores or ulcers that do not heal within a normal timeframe. They can result from various factors, including:
- Poor Circulation: Conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD) or venous insufficiency can reduce blood flow to the feet, slowing down the healing process.
- Diabetes-Related Ulcers: Diabetic neuropathy and high blood sugar levels can lead to foot ulcers that are slow to heal and prone to infection.
- Injuries and Trauma: Even minor cuts, scrapes, or pressure wounds can develop into chronic wounds if they do not receive proper care.
- Underlying Health Conditions: Autoimmune disorders, infections, and other medical conditions can contribute to delayed healing and complications.
Effective Wound Care Solutions
At South Florida Podiatry, we take a comprehensive approach to wound care, tailoring treatment plans to address the root cause of non-healing wounds. Our specialized treatments include:
Advanced Wound Healing Therapies
We utilize cutting-edge wound care treatments to promote faster healing, including:
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): A treatment that increases oxygen supply to damaged tissue, improving healing and reducing infection risks.
- Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): Also known as wound vac therapy, this method uses suction to remove excess fluid and promote healthy tissue growth.
- Bioengineered Skin Substitutes: These innovative treatments help regenerate skin over chronic wounds, offering a new layer of protection and promoting healing.
Diabetic Foot Care and Offloading Techniques
For individuals with diabetes, proper foot care is essential to preventing ulcers and infections. We provide:
- Wound Debridement: The careful removal of dead or infected tissue to accelerate healing.
- Specialized Dressings: Advanced wound dressings that keep the wound clean and promote new tissue growth.
- Custom Orthotics and Offloading Devices: Designed to relieve pressure on the affected area, allowing wounds to heal without further irritation.
