Diabetic foot ulcers are open sores or wounds that commonly develop on the feet of individuals with diabetes, often as a result of poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy). In these cases, sensation in the feet may be reduced, so minor injuries may go unnoticed and progress into more serious wounds if not treated promptly. Ulcers can become infected and may lead to serious complications if left untreated. Early detection and proper care are essential to promote healing and prevent further issues. At Uxbridge Foot Clinic, we provide comprehensive diabetic foot care, including wound assessment, sharp debridement, advanced dressings, offloading techniques, orthotics and ongoing monitoring to support healing and reduce the risk of recurrence, helping you maintain healthy, protected feet.
