When you have peripheral artery disease (PAD), your arteries become narrow and decrease blood flow to your limbs. PAD usually has no symptoms. When PAD becomes severe, decreased blood flow can cause pain and chronic wounds that won’t heal. Specialists at Ascension Amputation Prevention Centers in Southfield and Detroit, Michigan, help heal chronic wounds caused by PAD. Whether you have an open sore, skin infection, ulcers or skin discoloration – we are here to help.
Sometimes, amputations are recommended as a treatment option for limbs with wounds that won’t heal. Our goal is to treat wounds and prevent amputations. If your limb is at risk or you have been told you need an amputation, talk with a specialist at one of our amputation prevention centers. Wound care specialists, vascular specialists, podiatrists and vascular surgeons work together to create a personalized care plan that helps heal your wound and improve your quality of life.
