Why Horn Lake patients come to us for wound care
Horn Lake is one of the closest communities to our Southaven office, usually about 10 minutes away by Goodman Road or Church Road. That short drive matters when a wound needs regular visits. It's easier for patients who don't drive far, or who rely on a family member for rides, to keep a steady schedule.
Many Horn Lake patients spend long days on their feet at work. Pressure from boots or safety shoes, combined with reduced feeling from diabetes, can turn a callus into an open sore without much warning. We look at the wound and also at the footwear and pressure that caused it, so the same spot is less likely to break down again.
After the wound heals
Closing the wound is only part of the job. We follow up with diabetic foot exams, callus and nail care, and guidance on protective shoes or inserts. Areas that have ulcerated before can be more likely to break down again, so ongoing checkups are an important part of the plan.
Why board-certified podiatrists in Hernando & Southaven
Dr. Michael G. Lyons and Dr. Robert J. Wenzler are board-certified foot and ankle surgeons (DPMs). Foot wounds are a central part of their everyday practice. That means one team can treat the wound, address the bone, tendon, or pressure problem behind it, and perform foot surgery if it's ever needed, without sending you elsewhere. Both offices use one phone number, so you can be seen wherever is easier that week.
When to seek emergency care: if a foot wound comes with fever, chills, rapidly spreading redness, a foul smell with feeling very unwell, or skin turning black, go to the nearest emergency room. For a new or non-healing sore without those signs, call 662-449-3663 to be seen in the office.
