Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment
At Restore Mobile Wound Care we understand that diabetic foot ulcers require vigilant care and a comprehensive plan. These ulcers often develop through a combination of neuropathy and poor circulation. Because patients may not feel pain they may delay seeking treatment leading to deeper tissue injury. Our team is dedicated to early detection and customized therapies across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and neighboring areas that promote rapid healing and prevent complications.
Understanding Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers are areas of partial or full thickness tissue loss. They often begin as small abrasions or blisters that go unnoticed. Neuropathy reduces the ability to feel pressure, friction or temperature leading to repeated trauma. Poor arterial flow and elevated blood sugar further impair the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Without intervention these ulcers can progress to infection or even require amputation.
Comprehensive Assessment
Every patient begins with a thorough evaluation. We:
• Review the patient’s medical history including duration of diabetes and previous wound care
• Perform a vascular assessment using ankle brachial index testing and Doppler studies
• Check for signs of infection such as redness warmth swelling or discharge
• Evaluate foot structure alignment callouses and pressure points
• Screen for neuropathy with monofilament testing and vibration perception
​
This detailed baseline allows us to identify contributing factors and tailor each plan to the individual.
Personalized Treatment Plans across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and neighboring areas
Based on our assessment we develop a protocol that may include:
• Offloading strategies such as custom footwear or specialized devices to redistribute pressure
• Advanced wound dressings that maintain a moist healing environment and protect from contamination
• Debridement techniques to remove nonliving tissue and stimulate healthy granulation
• Infection management including topical or systemic antibiotics when needed
• Adjunct therapies such as negative pressure wound therapy or hyperbaric oxygen for complex ulcers
• Blood sugar optimization in partnership with the patient’s primary care provider or endocrinologist
​
Our goal is not only to heal the current ulcer but also to minimize future complications across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County and neighboring areas.
Patient Education and Self Care
A key component of our success is empowering patients with knowledge. We provide:
• Step by step guidance on daily foot inspection and skin care
• Techniques to clean and dress the ulcer safely at home
• Instructions on proper footwear selection and how to check for wear patterns
• Advice on nutrition and lifestyle modifications to support healing
• Written materials and one on one demonstrations to reinforce best practices
​
By engaging patients in their own care we reduce the risk of recurrence and enhance long term outcomes.
Expected Outcomes
With timely intervention and adherence to the treatment plan most patients experience:
• A significant reduction in ulcer size within four to six weeks
• Restoration of healthy tissue and closure of the wound
• Improved mobility and reduced pain
• Lower risk of infection and hospitalization
​
Our goal is not only to heal the current ulcer but also to minimize future complications.
