Why do diabetic foot ulcers occur?
People with diabetes are at a much higher risk of developing foot ulcers, which are open wounds that have penetrated to the deeper layers of the skin. Diabetes causes issues with blood supply and nerves not functioning properly, so a diabetic patient may not realise they have damaged or injured the bottom of their foot until this has developed into a serious issue needing specialist care.
At Podiatry Station, we offer regular foot care for people with diabetes, aiming to avoid issues such as ulcers. However, if you have an ulcer that needs emergency treatment, you are in safe hands with our trusted, empathetic and experienced care.

Assessment
At the start of your treatment, we examine your feet, assessing your ulcer and determining the best way to treat it for optimum results. Our specialist podiatrist has worked in several NHS diabetic clinics, so has extensive knowledge and understanding of successful treatment methods for your ulcer.
Treatment
Treatment for your ulcer varies depending on your individual case. It often involves cutting away the infected tissue and padding your foot to redistribute the weight, allowing it to heal. We are proud to offer MLS Class IV Laser Therapy, a modern treatment option that can help speed up the healing of ulcers and provide a faster recovery time.
Advice
During your appointment, you receive specialist footwear advice and tips for caring for your feet at home. We also provide ongoing care before you are discharged, to make sure your feet are in the best condition following your ulcer treatment.

If a diabetic foot ulcer is left untreated, it can develop into a severe infection which goes as deep as the bone and requires immediate antibiotics to treat. Untreated ulcers also leave you at risk of permanent damage to your feet and bones, which could ultimately lead to the need for amputation. It is very important to seek treatment for your diabetic ulcer as soon as you notice it.
