Foot ulcers can be especially concerning and painful, often impacting your life in ways that feel overwhelming—particularly for those managing diabetes. Diabetes can lead to complications like neuropathy (nerve damage) and poor circulation, making it harder for small injuries to heal and increasing the risk of developing serious issues, even from a minor blister or sore.

At StrideCare, we understand the challenges that come with diabetic foot ulcers, and we’re here to provide compassionate, patient-focused care. We promote effective healing while reducing the risk of infection, helping you manage current ulcers and prevent future complications.

What Causes Foot Ulcers?

Foot ulcers can result from a range of factors, most commonly affecting people with diabetes. Long-term diabetes complications, including neuropathy and reduced blood flow, make it harder for injuries to heal and easier for infections to develop. Neuropathy can cause numbness, meaning small injuries go unnoticed, while poor circulation slows healing, making diabetic foot ulcers especially common and difficult to manage.

Other conditions, such as atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) and Raynaud’s phenomenon, can also increase the risk of foot ulcers by reducing blood flow to the extremities. Because of these circulatory issues, even minor injuries or diabetic blisters can progress into open sores, making professional care essential. Call us today to get the treatment necessary to heal your foot ulcers and get back to being pain-free.

Foot Ulcer Symptoms and When to Seek Treatment

  • Open sores that won’t heal on the feet or toes
