COMPREHENSIVE WOUND CARE

Dr. Storts provides specialized wound care for foot and ankle wounds that aren't healing properly. Chronic wounds require expert management to promote healing and prevent serious complications including infection and amputation.

Types of wounds we treat:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Venous stasis ulcers
Pressure ulcers
Post-surgical wounds
Traumatic wounds and lacerations
Chronic non-healing wounds

Please note: Dr. Storts specializes in wound care and advanced foot treatment. Our practice focuses on wound management and medical/surgical podiatric care—not routine diabetic nail cutting.

WHY WOUND CARE REQUIRES EXPERTISE

Foot wounds, especially in patients with diabetes or poor circulation, require specialized care because:

Reduced blood flow to the feet impairs healing
Neuropathy may prevent patients from noticing wounds
Infection risk is significantly higher in compromised tissue
Improper treatment can lead to limb-threatening complications

Dr. Storts uses advanced wound care techniques including:

Debridement: Removing dead and infected tissue to promote healing
Advanced Wound Dressings: Specialized dressings that optimize the healing environment
Offloading: Reducing pressure on the wound to allow healing
Regenerative Medicine: PRP and biological therapies to accelerate healing
Infection Management: Appropriate antibiotic therapy when needed

DON'T WAIT ON WOUND CARE

A wound that isn't healing needs professional attention. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of serious complications.

Call (740) 851-4003 to schedule your wound evaluation. We also treat lacerations requiring suturing and repair.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Call (740) 851-4003 to schedule a wound evaluation, and bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of your current medications, and any records or culture results from previous wound care.
Bring the dressings or wound care supplies you have been using, along with the shoes or offloading device you wear.
A typical evaluation includes reviewing your medical history, examining and measuring the wound, and assessing circulation and sensation in the foot.
Testing such as X-rays, wound cultures or vascular studies may be ordered if it is needed.
Dr. Storts explains the wound care plan, which may include debridement, dressings, offloading and advanced treatment options, and sets a schedule for regular wound checks.
