Diabetic Foot Treatment & Surgery in Ludhiana
Diabetes can affect the nerves and blood vessels in your feet, increasing the risk of wounds, ulcers, infections, and poor healing. If left untreated, these problems can become serious and may even lead to amputation. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to protect your feet and maintain your mobility.
At Prolife Hospital, Ludhiana, Dr. Harpreet Singh Jolly provides comprehensive diabetic foot care, focusing on early diagnosis, infection control, improved blood circulation, wound healing, and limb preservation whenever clinically possible.
What Is a Diabetic Foot?
A diabetic foot develops when diabetes causes nerve damage (neuropathy), poor blood circulation, or infection in the feet. Because sensation is reduced, even a small cut or blister may go unnoticed and gradually develop into a serious wound.
Proper medical care can help prevent complications and improve healing.
