Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
Struggling to Get the Wound to Heal: I've been dealing with this ulcer for what feels like forever, and no matter what I do, it just won't heal. It's frustrating and disheartening to see little to no progress, despite all my efforts.
Constant Worry and Anxiety:
I can't help but worry about this ulcer all the time. It's always on my mind, and the fear of it getting worse keeps me up at night. I'm really concerned about what might happen if it doesn't start healing soon.
Previous Treatments Haven't Worked: I've tried other treatments for my ulcer, but nothing seems to be effective. It's discouraging to go through different options and still not see any improvement. I feel like I'm running out of choices.
Doubt in Previous Medical Care: The last doctor I saw didn't seem to know how to properly treat my ulcer. I left feeling unsure and even more anxious about my condition, with no clear path to recovery in sight.
Fear of Major Reconstructive Surgery or Amputation : The thought of needing major reconstructive surgery or amputation terrifies me. I know these are serious procedures with risks, and I'm really hoping to avoid them. But as my ulcer persists, I'm increasingly afraid that surgery might become the only option.

Who We Can Help With Foot & Leg Ulcers
Our specialized care is designed to assist a wide range of patients who are struggling with foot or leg ulcers. Whether you're dealing with a persistent ulcer or just starting to notice signs of trouble, we can help guide you towards a healthier, pain-free life. Here's a closer look at the types of patients we commonly assist:
Diabetics and Non-Diabetics Alike: Foot and leg ulcers can affect anyone, whether you have diabetes or not. Diabetic patients are particularly prone to developing ulcers due to nerve damage and poor circulation. However, non-diabetics can also suffer from these painful sores, often due to other underlying conditions. Our treatment is tailored to address the unique needs of both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Patients Who Often Refer to Their Ulcer as a 'Wound': Many patients initially describe their ulcer as just a 'wound' or sore spot that won’t heal. It’s not uncommon to underestimate the severity of an ulcer, thinking it's just a stubborn cut or scrape. If you've been struggling with what you think is a wound that isn’t healing, it might actually be an ulcer that needs professional attention.
Those with Poor Circulation: Poor circulation is a major contributor to the development and persistence of ulcers. If you have circulation issues, your body’s ability to heal naturally is compromised, making it harder for ulcers to close up on their own. We specialize in treating ulcers that stem from circulation problems, helping to restore the healing process.
Patients with Bad Veins: Vein problems, like varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency, can lead to the formation of ulcers, especially on the legs. These conditions cause blood to pool in the lower limbs, leading to swelling, discomfort, and eventually ulceration. We offer targeted treatments to manage vein-related ulcers, improving blood flow and promoting healing.
Individuals Experiencing Swelling in the Legs or Ankles: Swelling in the legs or ankles, also known as edema, is often a precursor to ulcer development. The excess fluid can put pressure on the skin, making it more prone to breaking down. If you’re noticing consistent swelling, it’s important to address it before it leads to more serious problems like ulcers.
Patients with Long-Standing Ulcers Seeking Healing: If you’ve been living with an ulcer for a while and haven’t seen much improvement, you’re not alone. Chronic ulcers can be incredibly stubborn and resistant to healing, especially without the right care. We specialize in treating long-standing ulcers, using advanced techniques to kickstart the healing process and finally close those persistent sores.
Those Who Might Mistake Their Ulcer for a Callus: Sometimes what seems like a simple callus can actually be an underlying ulcer. Calluses can form over areas of pressure or injury, and if the skin underneath is damaged, it can lead to an ulcer. If you’ve noticed a hard, thickened area on your foot or leg that’s becoming painful or not healing, it’s worth getting it checked out. We can differentiate between a harmless callus and a more serious ulcer, ensuring you get the right treatment.
If you see yourself in any of these descriptions, don't hesitate to seek help. We’re here to provide expert care tailored to your specific needs, helping you heal faster and avoid complications.

Treatment You Can Expect from a Podiatrist
When you visit a podiatrist for a foot or leg ulcer, you’re taking a crucial step towards healing. Here’s what you can expect:
Examination: Your podiatrist will thoroughly examine the ulcer to assess its size, depth, and overall condition. They will also evaluate the health of the surrounding skin.
Testing for Infection: If there’s any sign of infection, your doctor will conduct tests to determine the best course of action. This might include taking a sample from the ulcer to identify the type of bacteria involved.
Advanced Treatment Options: One of the most exciting aspects of modern podiatry is the availability of cutting-edge treatments that encourage healing. Your podiatrist might use advanced products that promote skin regeneration and wound healing, often leading to faster recovery.
Imaging If Needed: We can provide X-rays, CT scans, MRI or Bone Scans if required.
Most patients who follow their treatment plan closely and attend regular visits see significant improvement. In many cases, the ulcer is completely healed after up to 10 visits. This approach often helps avoid the need for more invasive procedures like surgery or skin grafts.
