Expert Care for Foot and Ankle Wounds
Chronic or non-healing wounds on the feet and ankles can seriously affect your comfort, mobility, and long-term health. At Kalamazoo Foot Surgery, our podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating foot wounds using advanced medical techniques to promote faster healing and reduce the risk of complications — especially for patients with diabetes or circulation issues.
If you have a wound that isn’t improving, our team is here to help.
Why Wound Care Matters
Even a small cut, sore, or blister can turn into a serious ulcer or infection if it’s not properly treated — particularly for patients with diabetes or vascular conditions. That’s why early diagnosis and expert wound management are so important. Our clinic provides comprehensive, compassionate care focused on healing and preventing recurrence.
Common causes of foot and ankle wounds include:
- Diabetes-related neuropathy (loss of sensation)
- Poor circulation or peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Pressure or friction from footwear
- Trauma, puncture wounds, or blisters
- Infections or post-surgical complications
Our goal is to protect your health, mobility, and independence through effective, evidence-based wound care.
Advanced Wound Treatment Options
The doctors at Kalamazoo Foot Surgery use a combination of medical expertise and advanced technology to treat both simple and complex wounds. Your treatment plan will be customized based on the wound’s size, depth, cause, and infection risk.
Our wound care services include:
- Comprehensive Wound Evaluation: Careful assessment of tissue health, circulation, and healing potential.
- Debridement: Gentle removal of dead or infected tissue to promote faster healing.
- Skin Substitute Therapy: Application of advanced biologic or synthetic grafts that encourage new tissue growth and accelerate healing.
- Offloading & Pressure Relief: Custom orthotics, boots, or padding to take pressure off the wound area.
- Infection Management: Topical and oral treatments as needed to control infection and inflammation.
- Compression Therapy: Supportive wraps or garments for wounds related to poor venous circulation.
Our team is trained in skin substitute therapy and has the experience to help patients with chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds achieve lasting results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation of your wound, medical history, and contributing factors such as footwear, activity level, or circulation. We’ll then outline a personalized care plan that may include both in-office treatments and at-home wound care instructions, along with regular follow-up visits to track healing progress.
Our goal is not just to heal your current wound — but to prevent new ones from forming.
