Chronic wounds and diabetic foot ulcers require prompt, specialized care to prevent infection, preserve mobility, and protect your long-term health. At Your Foot Doc, Dr. Aziz provides expert foot and ankle wound care designed to help patients heal quickly, safely, and completely.
Common Types of Wounds We Treat
Dr. Aziz specializes in managing a full range of lower extremity wounds, including:
Diabetic foot ulcers: Open sores or wounds that form due to poor circulation and nerve damage from diabetes.
- Venous stasis ulcers: Wounds caused by poor blood flow in the legs, often near the ankles.
- Pressure sores (decubitus ulcers): Skin breakdown from prolonged pressure or friction, particularly in those with limited mobility.
- Post-surgical or traumatic wounds: Incisions or injuries that are slow to heal or have reopened.
- Infected wounds: Sores that have become red, swollen, or painful and may show signs of drainage or odor.
Each type of wound requires a unique treatment strategy—and that’s exactly what we provide.
Advanced Treatment Options
Your treatment plan will depend on the cause, size, depth, and overall health of your wound. Dr. Aziz uses a comprehensive approach that may include:
- Debridement: Gentle removal of damaged tissue to promote faster healing.
- Infection management: Use of topical or oral antibiotics when needed.
- Offloading techniques: Custom orthotics, special footwear, or padding to relieve pressure on the wound.
- Wound dressings and biologic grafts: Advanced materials that protect and stimulate healing.
- Circulation evaluation: Assessment and management of underlying vascular issues that may delay recovery.
- Diabetic foot care education: Guidance on foot hygiene, footwear, and daily self-checks to prevent future wounds.
With proactive care and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience a significant improvement in healing time and comfort.
