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.
