Diabetes management and wound care
Due to severe side effects from diabetes, limb amputation can sometimes be necessary, though we work to avoid it. When performing surgery to address diabetes, our team prioritizes preserving as much of the affected limb as possible. We also offer diabetes education programs to guide you in adopting positive lifestyle changes for long-term benefits. After first properly diagnosing your condition, we design a personalized treatment plan that aims to carefully manage your disease through nutrition, exercise, support and education.
HBOT
This treatment involves breathing oxygen inside of a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. HBOT can be particularly beneficial because your lungs can collect more oxygen in the chamber than is possible by breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. The oxygen travels throughout your body to help promote faster healing.
Limb preservation
A potential complication of diabetes is developing wounds or diabetic foot ulcers that, as a result of poor circulation, infection or neuropathy, can result in the need for amputation. Our integrated approach to limb preservation helps reduce the number of amputations needed because of these serious diabetic complications.

What is a chronic, nonhealing wound?
If a wound has not improved significantly in four weeks, or if it has not healed completely in eight weeks, it is considered a chronic, nonhealing wound.
Why is a dedicated center necessary for treating wounds?
Nonhealing wounds require specialized and aggressive care. In traditional medical settings, you might not receive the interdisciplinary attention that these wounds demand. This is problematic, because minor lesions can lead to chronic, nonhealing wounds with serious infection, gangrene and possible amputation. Specialized care can help improve your chances of healing and returning to your daily activities.
