Before Treatment
The patient was struggling with severe pain, foot discolouration, and a non healing venous ulcer that had persisted for over 2 years. Initially, he received medical treatment from nearby doctors, but nothing helped improve the wound.
He was later advised to undergo surgery to clear the ulcer. However, due to fear and financial concerns, he chose not to proceed with the surgical option.
Course of Treatment
He was carefully examined to rule out any secondary complications and advised to undergo a Doppler study to check the arteries and veins in the affected leg. Once confirmed there was no evidence of DVT, we began a structured physiotherapy treatment plan. He was started on regular therapy sessions twice a week, each lasting 60 minutes. Remarkably, within just two weeks, the non-healing venous ulcer showed complete healing. Throughout the treatment, he wasn’t on any medication or wearing compression stockings for this condition.
To prevent infection, he continued simple home dressing with Betadine ointment. As recovery progressed, we introduced gentle foot mobilisation exercises and posture correction techniques to help him stand comfortably during work. It’s now been over 7 years with no recurrence, no fresh ulcers, and no related complications in the same leg.
