DIABETIC FOOT ULCER & WOUND CARE
What is Diabetic Foot ?
Diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetes that affects the feet due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy). Over time, high blood sugar can lead to loss of sensation, making it hard to notice injuries or infections. Without proper care, small wounds can worsen, leading to ulcers, infections, or even amputation. Preventive care, early detection, and proper wound management are key to avoiding serious outcomes.
Wound Care:
Why It Matters - Proper wound care is essential—especially for people with chronic conditions like diabetes. When wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers are not treated appropriately, they can worsen quickly and lead to serious infections or even amputation. Wound care involves regular cleaning, monitoring for signs of infection, choosing the right dressings, and ensuring good blood flow to the area. Advanced treatments like negative pressure wound therapy, specialized dressings, and even hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are now helping improve healing outcomes. At IWCA, we promote evidence-based, multidisciplinary wound care approaches to restore health, mobility, and quality of life.
