Promoting Healing for Diabetes-Related and Nerve-Related Wounds
Neuropathic ulcers, often associated with conditions like diabetes, are chronic wounds that can have serious complications if not properly managed. These wounds typically develop on the feet and lower legs due to reduced sensation and poor circulation, making timely, expert care essential. At Advanced Mobile Wound Care, we specialize in treating neuropathic ulcers, offering personalized care that comes directly to your home.
What Are Neuropathic Ulcers?
Neuropathic ulcers are open wounds that form as a result of peripheral neuropathy, a condition where nerve damage reduces sensation, particularly in the extremities.

These ulcers typically form on weight-bearing areas of the feet, such as the soles, heels, or toes.
Signs and Symptoms of Neuropathic Ulcers
Identifying a neuropathic ulcer early can prevent complications. Look for these key signs:
Due to reduced sensation, many individuals are unaware of the ulcer until it becomes advanced. Regular foot inspections are critical for those at risk.

Using specialized wound dressings that support healing, manage drainage, and protect the ulcer from further damage.
Treating infections with topical or systemic antibiotics when necessary.
Recommending footwear, orthotics, or devices to redistribute weight and reduce pressure on the affected area.
