Diabetic Wound Care

As if insulin troubles weren’t enough, a large number of diabetics also have to deal with various conditions that can affect their overall health. One of the most common issues facing individuals with diabetes is diabetic neuropathy. With their nervous system damaged, many diabetics are unable to distinguish the severity of an injury. Considering diabetes also affects blood flow, it is common for wounds to remain untreated, leading to infection.

When facing simple injuries such as scabs or ingrown toenails, the reduced blood flow in diabetics means that they are unable to properly repair the damaged tissue. If these wounds aren’t treated immediately, they can continue to deteriorate, even leading to the development of gangrene and requiring amputation. To that end, proper diabetic wound care needs to be applied regularly, even preventively, at the first sign of any problem.

One of the main reasons why diabetic wounds heal so slowly, even with the right treatment, comes from the lack of blood flow to the area. Through the use of the NeuroCare™ 1000 4P/XP, diabetics have seen accelerated healing. As a neuromuscular electronic stimulator, the NeuroCare™ 1000 4P/XP was specifically designed to stimulate muscles in order to improve blood flow and healing.

Although it is important to continue following traditional diabetic wound care, using the NeuroCare™ 1000 4P/XP at home can greatly improve recovery. The stimulation also improves sensitivity and even pain relief.
