What is off-loading?

0

When treating an ulcer, it is very important to off-load or take the pressure off the affected area. This can be done with special dressings to the foot, footwear such as removable walking boots, healing sandals, or half-shoes, as well as braces and casts. By off-loading the wound, you allow the body to help repair itself more quickly.
