Wound care

Wound care podiatry services focus on treating foot-related wounds commonly resulting from diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, arterial or venous ulcers, infections, traumatic injuries, and surgical complications. Treatments typically involve comprehensive wound assessment, cleaning and debridement of damaged tissues, infection management using antibiotics, advanced wound dressings, off-loading devices, custom footwear, and patient education for wound prevention and healing. Advanced interventions like hyperbaric oxygen therapy or specialized wound-healing products may also be employed in severe cases. While basic wound care services are often affordable and largely covered by insurance due to their preventive nature, more specialized treatments may have higher costs, yet insurance coverage generally keeps them accessible and cost-effective for most patients.
