At Restore First Health, we care for many types of chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs typically occur because of nerve damage and/or changes to blood flow in the lower extremities that is caused by high blood sugar levels in the body over a prolonged period. There are many simple steps a person with diabetes can take to prevent the development of a foot ulcer.
At Restore First Health, our advanced wound care program treats chronic wounds that are often compromised or stalled because of a patient's diagnosis of diabetes. Chronic wounds can have delayed healing caused by diabetes. Diabetes is important to monitor because it can slow wound healing if not properly managed and treated.
At Restore First Health, we offer advanced care for healing chronic wounds, which in some cases, can include compression therapies to reduce swelling. This is an important aspect of a patient’s care plan because swelling is often present in chronic wounds and can lead to poor wound healing.
For patients with chronic wounds, increasing the amount of protein in their diet can be an important factor to consider during the healing process. Wound healing in the body requires increased energy in the form of protein.
That’s why a nutrient-rich diet is an essential ingredient to rebuilding tissue.
At Restore First Health, clinicians take a holistic approach to advanced care for chronic wounds, accounting for an array of factors, such as a patient’s heart health, nutrition and lifestyle. To understand the whole picture of a patient’s care plan, clinicians examine different pieces of information, just like assembling a puzzle.
