Functional Limb Salvage
The diabetic epidemic is one of the greatest crises facing our current healthcare system. The lack of education surrounding this deadly disease is a public health failure of epic proportions. Approximately 30% of the US population is diabetic and roughly 15% of these individuals will develop a foot ulcer at some point during their lifetime. If you or someone you love has developed a foot ulcer from diabetes, you need to seek help immediately. Diabetic foot ulcers carry a 5-year mortality risk approaching 50%. This is more than double the mortality of breast cancer. For this reason alone, you need someone who will not only help treat your ulcer but who will help you examine the root cause. Often times ulcerations can lead to awful consequences including amputation. Let us help you take control of your health so you can get your life back.
