While a small open sore on a non-diabetic patient is of relatively little concern, the same cannot be said for those who suffer from diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers occur in some diabetic patients, with a small number of those needing amputations as a result.
If you have diabetes and notice any kind of open wound that is not healing, get in touch with Garza Medical Associates. We provide two types of treatment that can help you: wound care and hyperbaric treatment.
Dr. Gilberto Garza Lozano can determine which treatment will be most effective for you and get you started on the path towards healing right away. Wound care includes dressings and coverings being applied to the ulcer to help promote healing, while hyperbaric treatments include 100 percent oxygen to kick start the body’s healing process.
