Some wounds need extra attention, and waiting can cost more than you think. In people with diabetes, poor circulation, weakened immunity, kidney disease, smoking history, malnutrition, obesity, or age over 65, even a small cut can quietly turn into a serious infection before you realize it.

Here’s a helpful cheat sheet to help you decide if you or someone you love should seek professional wound care before a preventable problem becomes a hospital visit.

If you have concerns, call Indiana Foot & Ankle at (812) 634-2778 or visit us at 645 W 5th St, Jasper, IN to get it checked before it becomes something much bigger.

Did you know one of the deadliest complications of diabetes is often overlooked?

Diabetic foot ulcers and diabetes-related amputations carry mortality rates comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, many cancers. The burden is profound, recurrence is common, and the consequences are often life-altering or life-ending.

This is not a minor complication.
It is a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.

Prioritize prevention. Screen early. Refer promptly. Treat aggressively.

Monday after the Super Bowl 🏈

The build-up, the commercials, the halftime buzz… all of it came and went. Truth is, some of us emotionally clocked out mid-season when the Colts took a turn

Still showed up. Still watched. Still counting down to next year.
Go Colts.
(And for some of our doctors… go Bears. yuck 😬)

💭 Have you - or someone you know - invested in orthotics that didn’t relieve foot pain?

Many stores sell devices before understanding the underlying problem. Without a proper medical evaluation, inserts may provide temporary comfort but can fail address the true cause.

👣 The best first step is a consultation with a doctor. A diagnosis ensures that any orthotic is tailored to your needs and integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.

In patients with neuropathy, the normal pain response is often diminished or absent. As a result, injuries can go unnoticed, even when a foreign object becomes embedded in the foot.

In this case, the patient felt no pain and had no symptoms. The problem was discovered only through examination and imaging, and the foreign body was safely removed in the office.

Neuropathy can mask wounds and delay treatment, increasing the risk of infection and other complications. Normally, pain serves as an important warning system. When it is impaired, routine foot evaluations become especially important.

If you or someone you care for has neuropathy or diabetes, regular foot exams are essential, even when everything feels fine.
