• Foot ulcers

You might also benefit from treatment at the walk-in wound clinic if you have a slow-healing wound or infection caused by diabetes, neuropathy, or another circulatory problem.

What can I expect at the walk-in wound clinic?

The walk-in wound clinic at Diabetic Foot and Wound Center provides compassionate, comprehensive care in a warm and welcoming environment. Upon your arrival, you fill out several pieces of paperwork, including information about the reason for your visit, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and their severity.

Next, you meet with an on-staff wound care specialist. They conduct a physical exam, review your medical history, and ask about your symptoms and lifestyle.

Make sure you're open and honest with your provider. Share any previous diagnoses and let them know if you smoke, drink alcohol, or take any prescription medications or supplements. If your provider is unable to make a diagnosis based on this information, they might order diagnostic tests like an ultrasound, MRI, CT scan, or X-rays.

Can the walk-in wound clinic recommend treatment?

Yes. After pinpointing the underlying cause of your wound or wounds, your provider develops a custom care plan to ease pain, prevent infection, and encourage healing. The team offers a variety of safe, effective treatments. Depending on your unique needs, they might recommend:

• Amputation prevention
• MIST® Therapy
• Wound debridement
• Wound care
• Total contact cast (TCC) offloading
• Advanced biologics

You might also benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
