Temecula Wound Care

If you have a wound on your foot which is having problems healing, you will definitely want to visit our podiatrist at our podiatry practice, Temecula Valley Podiatry. Our foot doctor, Dr. Richard B. Haas, is an expert in providing patients with Temecula wound care, as well as treatment for other foot and ankle problems.

It is very common for patients with diabetes to develop serious wound problems on their feet. It is strongly recommended that patients with diabetes check the bottom of their feet every day to make sure that no problems are developing. It is also recommended that diabetic patients come in to see our podiatrist for periodic diabetic foot exams to make sure that if there are any potential foot problems, that they are treated early. For example, if a patient has diabetes and they have a corn on their foot, our foot doctor will be able to remove the corn so that it will not become infected at a later date. If you have a problem on your foot which needs Temecula wound care, we hope you will contact our office right away and let our office staff know the reason for your call; they will be sure to give you an appointment that will allow you to get you in to see our podiatrist on an emergency basis.

Our podiatrist specializes in treating all different types of wounds. Foot wounds can be caused by cuts, burns, trauma, infection, or by diabetic ulceration. If you have diabetes, it is very important to try to keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy point so that you will have less chance of developing diabetic foot problems. When a patient has a wound that needs treatment, our podiatrist can provide excellent Temecula wound care which will involve cleaning, dressing, and treating the wound until it is completely healed. Patients with diabetes can have particular problems with their feet, since they may have reduced circulation in their feet. This can lead to balance problems, numbness of the feet, and the inability of their feet to easily heal when a wound develops. Our foot doctor recommends meeting with diabetic patients several times a year to check for any infections or ulcerations, so that early and preventive treatment can be applied. For an appointment to meet with our podiatrist for exceptional foot care, contact us today.
