Achilles tendonitis treatment in Rolesville,, NC. Shockwave therapy, PRP, stretching, and custom orthotics at Ironworks. Relief without surgery. Charcot foot is serious, but early treatment dramatically changes the outcome. Charcot foot is a serious complication of diabetes-related nerve damage, in which the bones of the foot weaken and collapse, often painlessly. Because there’s little or no pain, patients keep walking on the foot, making the damage worse. Without expert treatment, Charcot foot can permanently deform the foot and lead to ulcers and amputation. If you have diabetes and notice one foot that’s warm, red, or swollen compared to the other, even without pain, call us immediately. Time matters. A suspected Charcot foot visit is urgent. We aim to see these patients the same or next day because every day of walking on an active Charcot foot causes more damage. Plan on 60 to 90 minutes. Please do not walk into the visit if you can avoid it, a wheelchair or crutches significantly protect the foot during evaluation. Ironworks is Rolesville’s dedicated podiatry and advanced wound care practice, serving Wake Forest, Youngsville, and the surrounding communities with the specialized, personal care you shouldn’t have to travel to Raleigh or Durham to find. New patients are welcome, and most major insurance is accepted. Call us, request an appointment online, or stop by our Rolesville office. We’ll take care of the rest.
