What We Treat

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

A diabetic foot ulcer is a sore or wound on the foot that occurs in people with diabetes. Caused by poor circulation or nerve damage, these ulcers heal slowly and can worsen if untreated. Proper care includes regular foot checks are essential to prevent complications and promote healing.

Radiation Injuries

Radiation therapy injury occurs when high-energy radiation used to treat cancer damages healthy tissues. This can lead to side effects like skin irritation, fatigue, or more severe issues in treated areas. Side effects vary by location and dose, but careful planning aims to minimize harm while targeting cancer cells.

Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores)

Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, occur when prolonged pressure on the skin cuts off blood flow, causing tissue damage. They commonly affect areas over bony parts of the body. Risk factors include immobility, poor nutrition, and moisture. 

​

Osteomyelitis (Bone Infections)

Osteomyelitis is a bone infection caused by bacteria or fungi, often from an injury or surgery. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and fever. It can lead to bone damage if untreated. 

Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous stasis ulcers are sores on the legs caused by poor blood flow due to weakened veins. They develop slowly, often around the ankles, and can be painful. Early  wound care treatment prevents complications and promotes recovery.

Compromised Skin Grafts/Flaps

A compromised skin graft or flap occurs when the transplanted skin or tissue doesn't heal properly or loses blood supply. Signs include changes in color, increased pain, swelling, or drainage. This can be caused by infection, poor blood flow, or excessive pressure on the area. Immediate medical attention is essential to assess and treat the issue.
