Wound Care

What is Wound Care?

Wounds on the foot and leg develop for various reasons including falls and bumps to rubbing from shoes, to stepping on an object. Poor circulation, long term leg swelling and numbness from neuropathy can prolong healing. All wounds should be evaluated by the podiatrist for guidance and care to ensure proper healing in a timely fashion.
