Foot wounds and ulcers require specialised, evidence-based care—especially for those with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, or neuropathy. At Western Sydney Foot Clinic, our high-risk foot specialists deliver comprehensive wound and ulcer management to promote healing and prevent complications.

Why Professional Wound Care Matters:

• Reduce Amputation Risk: Proper offloading and infection control dramatically decrease the likelihood of hospitalisation and amputation.
• Enhance Quality of Life: Chronic wounds can be painful, limiting mobility and daily activities. Effective treatment restores function and comfort.
• Coordinate Multidisciplinary Care: We collaborate with endocrinologists, vascular surgeons, and diabetes educators to ensure holistic management.

Our Wound & Ulcer Services:

• Detailed Wound Assessment: We evaluate wound depth, drainage, peri-wound skin, and vascular status using Doppler ultrasound to guide treatment.
• Custom Offloading Solutions: Prescription of total contact casts, removable cast walkers, or custom orthotics to offload pressure points and promote healing.
• Advanced Dressing Therapy: Selection of moist, antimicrobial, or enzyme-based dressings that optimise the wound environment and accelerate tissue regrowth.
• Infection Control & Antibiotic Therapy: As AHPRA-endorsed prescribers, we can initiate and monitor systemic antibiotic treatment for infected ulcers.
• Patient Education & Self-Care: Instruction on daily wound monitoring, offloading techniques, and nutrition to support wound healing.
• Regular Follow-Up & Monitoring: Weekly or bi-weekly reviews to assess progress, adjust dressings, and modify offloading strategies until the wound is fully healed.

With a focus on early intervention, our podiatrists help you avoid long hospital stays. Whether you have a new foot ulcer or a chronic, non-healing wound, we provide targeted care to restore foot health.
