Foot Ulcer Care/Treatment
Description
Foot Ulcer Care/Treatment – The Chiropodists at Think Feet -Family Foot Clinic, in Orillia, treat and care for foot ulcers.
Foot ulcers are open wounds or cuts on the feet that are not healing. They may be small or large due to the area of pressure. For example, an ulcer on the tip of a clawed toe deformity would likely be small in size, while a heel ulcer would be large. An open area on the foot, like an ulcer, is at risk for a bacterial infection. If an infection develops, it can travel into the skin and into the bloodstream. Once affecting the blood, the infection can move up the leg, causing feelings of illness that require medical attention. It is very important to contact your Family Physician and Chiropodist if a foot ulcer occurs, as this is a significant change in your health.
