Wound Healing

Advanced wound care that moves you toward healing

Chronic or non-healing wounds can be stressful and disruptive. At Marshfield Clinic, you get a coordinated care team that diagnoses the cause, treats the wound and helps prevent it from returning so you can get back to life sooner. Our services span wound surgery, specialized therapies and hyperbaric oxygen treatment when appropriate.

Conditions we treat

We evaluate and treat most chronic and complex wounds, including:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis)
  • Late effects of radiation therapy (soft tissue and bone)
  • Central retinal artery occlusion
  • Severe anemia
  • Necrotizing soft tissue infections
  • Compromised or failing flaps or grafts
  • Acute crush injuries with impaired blood flow
  • Intracranial abscesses
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Decompression sickness

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric medicine uses medical-grade oxygen under pressure to increase oxygen delivery to tissues. This promotes new blood vessel growth and helps fight infections in areas that are hard to heal.

Why HBOT may be recommended:

  • Enhances tissue oxygenation for difficult wounds
  • Supports healing after radiation therapy
  • Assists with select infections and graft and flap complications

Frequently asked questions

What conditions do Marshfield Clinic podiatrists treat?

Common issues include Achilles tendonitis, bunions, hammertoes, heel pain, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, osteomyelitis, diabetes-related foot problems and arthritis of the ankle (including ankle replacement).

Do I need a referral?

Referrals depend on your insurance plan. If you’re unsure, schedule an appointment and our team can help you navigate next steps.

How do I prepare for my visit?

Bring a list of symptoms and when they occur, your shoes and inserts, medication list and any prior imaging.

Will I need surgery?

Many problems improve with conservative care (orthotics, therapy, activity modification). If surgery is the best option, we’ll outline the procedure, recovery and follow-up in detail, including reconstructive foot or ankle surgery or ankle replacement when appropriate.
