Waco Foot and Ankle Launches Latest Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment

Cutting-edge technology has the potential to speed healing times and generate improved results, publishes wacopodiatry.com

Woodway,, Texas - April 5, 2018 /MarketersMedia/

An estimated 29 million people suffer from diabetes in the United States according to recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This account goes on to say as many 8 million others may go undiagnosed. While a number of additional health issues are known to stem from this condition, foot ulcers are among the most prevalent. With this in mind, the team of Podiatrists at Waco Foot & Ankle, P.A. have launched the practice's latest treatment technique.

"Diabetics are at high risk of foot infection, which greatly increases the possibility of amputation if not treated promptly," said Waco Podiatrist, Steven Sterriker, D.P.M.. "We're proud to offer a wide range of Advanced Foot Treatments, each of which is designed to help combat the dangers associated with ulcers and reduce the chances of having to resort to the most extreme measures. Our latest groundbreaking alternative involves the use of amniotic tissue, a technique known to speed healing times and generate improved results over other solutions."

Based on extensive and ongoing research in the medical field, two primary factors are responsible for high foot ulcer rates among diabetics. Nerve damage resulting from this condition leads to reduction or loss of feeling in the feet. In turn, cuts, pressure wounds and other injuries often go unnoticed, increasing the likelihood of infection or skin loss. Diabetes also causes vascular damage and hampers blood flow. Lack of adequate circulation negatively impacts healing.

Waco Foot and Ankle, P.A. is one of only a select few practices to use amniotic tissue for the treatment of foot ulcers at present. Amniotic membrane tissue holds high concentrations of growth factors and stem cells. In combination, these components have the capacity to aid in healing and promote healthy tissue regeneration which in turn reduces the risk of infection.

Concluded Sterriker, "Our team of podiatric experts is dedicated to bringing the latest research, training and technology in the field to the Heart of Texas and putting them to work for our patients. We place high levels of emphasis on prevention and make every effort to educate patients on Diabetic Foot Care before problems arise, but it's not always enough. When it comes to extensive treatment, we offer solutions tailored to the specific needs of each person who entrusts us with his or her care. We look forward to using this latest treatment to the benefit of our patients and will continue to introduce new options as they develop."
