Proactive Podiatry

Foot and leg ulceration can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor circulation, nerve damage, infection, and trauma. Patients with conditions like diabetes or peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at increased risk for developing ulcers.

To prevent wound-related amputations, it's important to practice good foot hygiene, manage underlying health conditions like diabetes and PAD, and seek medical attention promptly if you notice any signs of a foot ulcer or infection. Regular check-ups with a podiatrist can also help identify potential problems early on.
