Wound Care Treatment
At University Foot Associates, we provide wound care to treat all foot and ankle-related wounds. Injuries that do not heal or foot pain associated with movement can highly affect a patient’s quality of life. Successful treatment requires a podiatrist’s assessment of both the injury and the patient’s overall condition. By listening to the patient, carefully addressing all concerns, and reviewing medical history, our podiatry team can provide appropriate and complete wound care.
Basic foot injuries that are left untreated can later cause more painful disorders and infections. Symptoms of foot infections include- swelling, redness, or a puncture. A more serious bone infection is possible as well. If you display these signs or symptoms, schedule a podiatrist appointment as soon as possible to receive proper wound care.

Diabetic Ulcers & Diabetic Wound Care
- Patients with diabetes are more prone to foot sores or ulcers. These happen due to poor circulation, bad lifting shoes, trauma, and other factors. Diabetic patients must visit the podiatrist regularly to identify any risk factor that can lead to infection of the feet. At University Foot Associates Dr. Nasser and Team diagnose and treat all the medical conditions of the foot, including diabetic wound care.
- Even if you feel perfectly healthy, it is a good idea to go to a podiatrist for a regular check-up.
