Foot Infection and Diabetic Foot Care

Foot Infection & Diabetic Foot Care – Advanced Wound Management & Limb Preservation

Diabetic foot care is a specialized medical approach to treat and prevent foot infections, ulcers, and complications in individuals with diabetes. Due to poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic patients are more prone to non-healing wounds, infections, and even risk of amputation if untreated.
