WOUND CARE

Expert Care for Foot and Ankle Wounds

Foot wounds can be slow to heal and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly and properly—especially for individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy. At Canton Foot & Ankle, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of foot and ankle wounds to help you heal quickly and prevent further issues.

Common Types of Foot Wounds We Treat

Diabetic Ulcers
Open sores often found on the bottom of the foot, commonly due to diabetic neuropathy and poor circulation.
Pressure Sores
Also known as bedsores, these are caused by prolonged pressure on one area of the foot.
Traumatic Wounds
Cuts, punctures, or abrasions that may result from injury, poorly fitting shoes, or repeated friction.
Surgical Wounds
Incisions or surgical sites that require careful post-operative monitoring and care.
