Diabetic Foot Ulcers

We use comprehensive diagnostic methods to assess the severity and underlying causes of each ulcer:

• Vascular studies: Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), Toe Pressure, Doppler Ultrasound
• Neuropathy testing: Monofilament, Tuning Fork, Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT)
• Imaging modalities:
  • X-rays (to rule out bone infection)
  • Ultrasound (to assess soft tissue damage)
  • MRI (to detect deep infection or osteomyelitis)
  • CT scans (for 3D mapping of complex infections)
  • Nuclear medicine scans (for chronic or hidden infections)

We start with evidence-based, non-invasive treatments:

• Wound debridement – removal of dead tissue to promote healing
• Moist wound healing – advanced dressings (hydrogels, alginates, silver-infused)
• Offloading – total contact casting or removable walkers to take pressure off the wound
• Compression therapy (if venous involvement)
• Shockwave therapy – stimulates blood flow and tissue regeneration
• Topical growth factors and oxygen therapy for enhanced healing
• Bioengineered skin substitutes (like Apligraf or Dermagraft)
• Antibiotic therapy (oral or IV if infection is present)

We design and fit a range of custom medical devices to protect the foot and promote healing:

• Custom-molded shoes
• Ankle-Foot Orthotics (AFOs) for stability and offloading
• Diabetic boots for complete immobilization and protection
• Custom inserts – pressure-relieving orthotics tailored to foot shape and ulcer location

When conservative therapy isn’t enough, we offer precise, limb-saving procedures:

• Wound debridement surgery
• Tendon lengthening (to redistribute pressure)
• Skin grafting or flap surgery
• Partial foot amputation (only when absolutely necessary)
• Bone resection if infection reaches the bone
• Reconstructive foot surgery to correct deformities that cause recurring ulcers

Seeing a podiatrist regularly can significantly reduce your risk of diabetic foot ulcers:

• Routine foot exams
• Nail and callus care
• Footwear assessments and modifications
• Education on daily foot inspections
• Gait and pressure analysis
• Annual diabetic foot risk assessment

Our clinic goes beyond standard podiatry care:

• Multidisciplinary collaboration – we work with endocrinologists, vascular specialists, and wound care experts
• On-site advanced imaging and same-day diagnostics
• Custom orthotic lab on premises – no waiting weeks for inserts
• Certified in advanced wound care therapies
• Flexible appointment scheduling for urgent wounds
• Compassionate care – we treat you like family

Don’t let a small wound turn into a major complication.
