Ulcus Cruris (Leg and Foot Ulcer)

Print
Ulcus Cruris is an ulceration of the lower leg that is caused by chronic venous or arterial insufficiency or has a neurotrophic origin. Ulcus Cruris present as deep non-healing wounds on the lower leg, calf, foot and heel. The skin is thin and compromised and very prone to braking down even after a minute trauma or external pressure. Often several small ulcers break out close by and soon fuse to form a large ulceration that spreads over a sizeable area. Ulcus Cruris is exacerbated by underlying chronic diabetes, which is well known for healing disturbances.

The ulceration is usually painful and very difficult to heal. In addition to the pain and discomfort, it also causes a great deal of distress to the sufferers and especially to people with diabetes experiencing healing disturbances. In many people, the non-healing ulceration leads to serious complications and even to leg or foot amputations. The end result is impaired mobility, loss of independence and diminished quality of life.

Laser phototherapy is very effective in the treatment and management of leg and foot ulcers. The energy delivered by the laser light maximises blood flow and improves micro circulation. There actions have positive and accelerating effects on the speed of healing and also boost the immune system. Swelling, congestion and pain reduce.
