Due to the vascular and neurological complications of diabetes in the feet, it is often diabetic patients develop wounds on their feet. If not treated promptly, these wounds can become chronic and non-healing, further increasing the risks of infection and lower limb amputation.
At Physio and Sole Clinic, our experienced podiatrists will be able to help with wound care by addressing the following:
- Thorough wound debridement using sterilised instruments
- Proper wound cleaning with antiseptic solutions
- Advise on appropriate wound dressing regime
- Offloading of wound through insoles and/or padding
- Advise on footwear
- Advise on diabetic foot care
We understand it can be costly to have regular podiatry visits for wound care. We also understand it may be difficult to schedule podiatry appointments in a public hospital. Therefore, our podiatrists are fully committed to maintaining affordable prices for treating diabetic wounds.
If you have diabetes and a foot wound, please consult a podiatrist immediately. Save your legs from amputation!
