Olive Branch has grown quickly, and so has the number of patients here managing diabetes-related foot problems. We see a steady stream of Olive Branch patients for neuropathy checks, callus and pressure-point care, and diabetic ulcers that started as something small inside a work boot or a new pair of shoes.
The straight shot down Goodman Road means Olive Branch patients can keep weekly wound-care appointments without losing half a day. For families, we also handle pediatric flat foot, ingrown toenails, and sports injuries from local school and travel-league programs.
Getting here: Most Olive Branch patients reach our Southaven office in about 15–20 minutes by taking Goodman Road (MS-302) west. We care for patients across DeSoto County, Mississippi, including the Olive Branch City Park, Cedar View, the Goodman Road corridor, Olive Branch Old Towne areas.
A straight drive down Goodman Road
For most Olive Branch patients, our Southaven office is roughly 15–20 minutes west on Goodman Road (MS-302), with no need to drive into Memphis. Because diabetic wounds often need repeat visits, a predictable drive on a familiar road helps patients stick with treatment until the wound is closed.
We see Olive Branch patients with ulcers that started as something minor: a seam rubbing inside a new pair of shoes, a blister after yard work, or a cracked heel. Neuropathy can hide the pain that would normally warn you. If you notice drainage on a sock, a new red spot, or a change in skin color, call rather than wait.
Treating the cause, not just the wound
Healing a foot ulcer means taking pressure off it, keeping it clean, controlling infection, and making sure blood flow is adequate. We check circulation and sensation, may order imaging or vascular testing when appropriate, and work with your primary care doctor or endocrinologist on blood sugar control, which plays a big role in healing.
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.
