Wound Care: Comprehensive Treatment for All Patients

Proper wound care is essential for promoting healing and preventing complications, particularly in individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, or other conditions that compromise circulation and sensation. At our clinic, we specialize in treating a variety of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, wounds associated with neuropathy, and traumatic injuries. We provide expert care through our practice and our work at two advanced wound care clinics, the Rockledge Regional Wound Center and the Melbourne Wound Center.

Wound Care for Diabetic Patients

Diabetes can significantly impair the body’s ability to heal due to poor circulation and reduced immune response. Diabetic foot ulcers often develop from minor cuts, blisters, or pressure points that go unnoticed due to neuropathy. If left untreated, these wounds can lead to serious infections and, in severe cases, amputation. Our team provides advanced wound care, emphasizing early intervention, proper offloading techniques, and the use of specialized dressings and treatments to promote healing.

Wound Care for Patients with Neuropathy

Neuropathy can reduce or eliminate sensation in the feet, making it difficult for patients to detect injuries or infections. This can result in wounds becoming larger or more complicated before they are addressed. Our approach includes regular wound assessment, debridement to remove dead tissue, and the application of dressings and topical treatments to accelerate healing while minimizing the risk of infection.

Traumatic Wounds

Even patients without diabetes or neuropathy can experience traumatic wounds, such as lacerations, punctures, or abrasions. These injuries, especially on the feet, can be challenging to heal due to pressure and daily use. We offer personalized wound care plans, ensuring optimal healing through a combination of protective footwear, advanced dressings, and, if necessary, surgical intervention to repair damaged tissue.
