Proactive Wound Care Treatment & Maintenance

At Proactive Podiatry, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for patients with foot and ankle wounds, including those with chronic conditions like diabetes. Our experienced podiatrist, Dr. Latika Hinduja, offers personalized wound care that takes a proactive approach to treatment and emphasizes prevention and early intervention.

Here are some of the specialized wound care services we provide:

  • Foot and Leg Ulceration: Foot and leg ulcerations can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor circulation, nerve damage, and infection. Early intervention is crucial to prevent serious complications and promote healing. Foot ulcer treatment options may include debridement, dressings, pressure relief, and sometimes, venous ulcer medication.
  • Amputation Prevention: For patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD) or diabetic neuropathy, amputation may be a risk. At Proactive Podiatry, our goal is to prevent amputations by providing specialized care to promote circulation, reduce the risk of infection, and manage symptoms of neuropathy.
  • Post-Amputation Care: For patients who have undergone amputation, proper post-operative care is vital to prevent re-amputation and promote healing. Our team provides comprehensive care to address both the surgical site and underlying health conditions that may have contributed to the need for amputation.

Whether you're dealing with a chronic wound or an acute injury, our skilled podiatrists are here to provide personalized care and support throughout your treatment journey. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hinduja and learn more about our wound care services.
