The idea of amputation is frightening. When the risk of losing a limb becomes your reality, you deserve a personal narrowing approach to prevent amputation and withdrawal mobility. The most typical reason for amputation is poor blow circulation, severe burns, accident, or any severe infection that is not answering to old-style treatment.

Dr. Bill Releford is dedicated to preventing unnecessary bottom-up amputation in helpless communities, domestically as well as globally. With more than 30 years of experience preventing amputation, we have previously seen the devastating effects of premature high-level amputation.

The number of disease and factors are responsible for amputation:

Peripheral Vascular Disease: When a one suffers from peripheral vascular disease, which is a narrowing of the arteries, then this obstruction can occur. This condition accompanies a lesion, causing severe limb ischemia. This is the point when a patient is most at risk of losing a limb.

Diabetes: People with diabetes have a more significant risk for difficulties from wound healing for two main reasons. First, diabetes reduced blood movement. Therefore, diabetes cannot ignore any wound right now. Due to these two factors, diabetic foot malfunction is a common issue that often causes major complications.

Tobacco: Smoking increases the risk of complications from wound healing. The nicotine found in cigarettes reduces blood flow to the skin.

Dr. Bill Releford approach to Amputation prevention treatment Los Angeles is aggressive and comprehensive, coordinating traditional and advanced therapies and techniques that are proven to reduce healing time and improve healing rates.
