New Approach. New Results.
Early Recognition & Prevention
The early recognition of any health- related concern most often leads to better outcomes and faster healing. As an example, when it comes to wounds or Charcot Foot, early awareness and appropriate intervention can prevent infections, amputations, permanent foot deformities, and even an avoidable death. Unfortunately, most of our clients’ wounds or Charcot Foot were not identified early, nor treated effectively in the public health system for many months, or often years, resulting in poor outcomes. We work to educate peers and clients on the importance of early awareness and intervention through our Online Courses, our client handouts, information sessions and during every client visit.
Innovative & Holistic Treatment
During our comprehensive Lower Limb Assessments we seek to identify barriers to healing which may include lack of education, employment factors, lack of social support, mental health challenges, diet, exercise, inappropriate footwear, inability to offload adequately while maintaining daily activities, poor wound care to date, and more. Once we identify the barriers individual to each client, we assist with the removal of those factors within our treatment and via outside referrals if necessary. Then, we offer innovative and adjunctive therapies to augment the body’s natural ability to heal, such as neuromuscular stimulation and shock wave wound therapy. To date, with our innovative and holistic approach, Accelerated currently has a 100% success rate of healing wounds for those who participate and commit to our program.
Prevention & Education
“Prevention is the daughter of intelligence”. - Walter Raleigh. Accelerated has a wound recurrence rate of less than 1%. Why? Maintenance and prevention. Once we obtain wound closure, our clients are moved into our 30-Day Wound Maintenance and Foot Care Program. The freshly healed wound is maintained and given opportunity to strengthen by continued offloading for 30 days, while we organize off-loading orthotics/insoles or custom shoes. In addition, ongoing foot care and wound checks are provided indefinitely monthly. At these visits, the overall skin and nail health of the feet are maintained while closely monitoring for any early signs of wound recurrence. If any concerns are noted, we identify the cause early, thereby preventing a wound or infection from occurring. This holistic, preventative approach has saved our health care system significant dollars in hospital admissions, and enhances the overall health and well being of our clients.
