"Hope For Diabetic Wounds That Won't Heal"

The Centers for Disease Control has stated that 44% to 85% of all diabetic amputations are preventable especially with the implementation of improved foot care programs. A few years ago the Jacksonville Foot Health Center opened The Diabetic Foot Wound Center, a state-of-the-art diagnostic, treatment and prevention facility for the diabetic foot.

The following is an outline of the programs being
offered at the Center:

1. A comprehensive foot examination based on the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association to eliminate and control risk factors.

• Tests should include circulation, neuropathy, biomechanical, musculoskeletal and skin.
• The Center uses the latest technology available.

2. New concepts in treatment programs:

• The Circulator Boot, a proven device for helping to cure diabetic ulcers also helps to eliminate the need for amputation; by increasing circulation and controlling infection.
• Infrared System (Anodyne System), treatment especially for neuropathy and other pain symptoms.
• Wound Care Programs tailored for the individual. (refer to Circulator Boot and Microvas)
• Physical Therapy Programs.
• Prevention Programs.
• Custom Shoes and Orthopedics.
