Stopping the infection

If a wound is open, the body is at risk of developing an infection. At the first sign, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist. If you have an infection, we can help, too. Our first priority is to treat the infection to avoid complications such as an amputation, which can impact patients with diabetes. Read this post for more additional best practices.
