causes that delay healing:

• Precise Debridement: Removal of non-viable tissue to stimulate healthy healing.
• Offloading & Pressure Redistribution: Custom boots, braces, orthotics, and shoe
  modifications to take pressure off the wound.
• Infection Control: Early recognition and management of soft tissue and bone infections.
• Vascular & Circulation Evaluation: Referral to vascular specialists when blood flow
  is impaired and limiting wound healing.
• Gait & Biomechanical Analysis: Addressing how you walk to prevent recurrence of ulcers.

indicated. Our staff can help verify your benefits and explain your options before treatment begins.

Early evaluation is especially important for patients with diabetes who notice redness,
