Diabetes and Wound Care

This includes regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, ensuring proper nutrition for healing, employing advanced wound care treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and educating patients on proper foot care to prevent ulcers.

FAQs

How does diabetes affect wound healing?

Diabetes can significantly slow down the wound healing process due to high blood sugar levels, which impair circulation, damage nerves, and weaken the immune system. These factors make it harder for the body to heal wounds efficiently and increase the risk of infections.

What specialized treatments does Impact Health & Wellness offer for diabetic wounds?

For diabetic wounds, we offer a range of specialized treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy to enhance oxygen supply to the wound, advanced debridement techniques to remove dead tissue, and the use of skin substitutes and growth factors to promote tissue regeneration.

Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy really make a difference in wound healing for diabetic patients?

Yes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can significantly impact wound healing in diabetic patients by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. This process helps fight infection, reduces swelling, and promotes the formation of new blood vessels, accelerating the healing of chronic wounds.

What preventive measures does Impact Health & Wellness recommend for avoiding diabetic foot ulcers?

We emphasize the importance of regular foot inspections, maintaining proper foot hygiene, wearing appropriate footwear, and controlling blood sugar levels as key preventive measures. Additionally, our team educates patients on proper foot care techniques to minimize the risk of ulcers.
