🦶 At Foot Specialists of South Mississippi, we understand how critical proper foot and wound care is, especially for patients with conditions like diabetes.
Here’s how specialised podiatric and wound care make a difference:

✅ Improved healing rates
By detecting wounds early, using targeted therapies (such as debridement and advanced dressings), and monitoring closely, we help accelerate tissue repair.

✅ Reduced risk of amputation
Studies show that patients receiving foot care by podiatrists before major ulceration have significantly lower rates of major amputation and death. 
And multidisciplinary teams addressing diabetes, vascular disease, wound care and infection see consistent reductions in major amputations. 

✅ Enhanced mobility & quality of life
When wounds heal effectively and risk of limb loss is lowered, patients regain mobility, independence, and overall well‐being.

If you or a loved one has a foot ulcer, slow‐healing wound, diabetes or neuropathy:

Mississippi has one of the highest diabetes rates in the U.S., leading to a greater risk of serious complications — including lower extremity amputations.

According to the CDC, diabetes is a leading cause of these amputations, many of which can be prevented or delayed through:
✅ Regular foot checks
✅ Managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol
✅ Early, limb-saving treatments

At Foot Specialists of South Mississippi, our podiatrists provide expert diabetic foot care to help you protect your feet and prevent complications before they start.
