Pressure-point wounds arising from any cause of peripheral nerve damage. Healix360 brings physician-led mobile wound care directly to patients in San Diego County — no commute, no waiting rooms. Most patients receive their first visit within 3–5 business days.
A neuropathic ulcer is a wound that develops over a pressure-bearing area — most often the plantar surface of the foot — as a result of loss of protective sensation from peripheral neuropathy. Because the patient cannot feel repetitive pressure, friction, or minor trauma, tissue breaks down painlessly and progresses to ulceration. While diabetes is the most common cause, neuropathic ulcers also arise from vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic alcohol use, spina bifida, Hansen's disease (leprosy), chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and inherited neuropathies. These wounds are classically deep, surrounded by thick callus, and located over bony prominences.
Also known as: Neurotrophic ulcer, Neuropathic foot ulcer, Mal perforans, Trophic ulcer, Pressure-point ulcer.
Common signs and symptoms can vary by wound type and severity.
A clinician evaluates the wound together with the factors that may delay healing.
Seek evaluation for any non-healing wound on a numb foot, or if you notice new redness, swelling, warmth, drainage, or odor. Because neuropathic ulcers are painless, they can hide serious infection or bone involvement — early professional assessment is essential to prevent amputation.
Home visits are scheduled care, not emergency response. Severe or extensive burns, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly worsening symptoms, confusion or difficulty breathing need urgent medical evaluation; call 911 for an emergency. A clinician must decide whether a wound can safely be managed at home.
San Diego County stretches from the Mexican border to the Orange County line and from the Pacific to the desert edge — 3.3 million people across coastal cities, inland valleys, and an aging suburban sprawl. Its freeways and its sheer size make getting to a hospital wound clinic a genuine ordeal for many patients, particularly seniors in North County or East County who are far from the coastal medical centers. Our clinicians treat the full range of chronic wounds here — diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and slow-healing surgical wounds — and the common thread when a San Diego family calls Healix360 is that the weekly trip across the county for care has become unsustainable. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners see patients across the county's regions: the neighborhoods of the city of San Diego itself; the South Bay cities of Chula Vista, National City, and Imperial Beach near the border; the coastal North County communities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Encinitas; the inland North County cities of Escondido, San Marcos, and Vista; and the East County suburbs of El Cajon, La Mesa, and Santee. From a La Jolla condominium to an Escondido retirement community to a South Bay family home, we bring physician-led care to the door. San Diego County is highly diverse, with large Spanish-speaking communities in the South Bay and border region, a substantial Filipino population concentrated in areas like Chula Vista and National City, and significant Vietnamese and Chinese communities. Tell our team your preferred language when requesting care so available interpreter arrangements can be discussed before the visit. Healix360 receives referrals from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai. This does not imply formal affiliation, partnership or endorsement. For a discharge from any hospital, ask your care team to provide the discharge instructions and relevant records; coordination, information sharing and visit timing must be arranged for the individual patient. Coverage depends on the patient's plan, benefits, medical necessity, authorizations and the treatment proposed. Medicare and commercial-plan rules can differ for visits, dressings and cellular tissue products. Ask for a benefits review and an explanation of possible out-of-pocket costs before treatment; coverage is not guaranteed. Our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7. Call to arrange an assessment.
San Diego County's geography works against consistent wound care: a patient in Oceanside, Escondido, or the East County suburbs may face a long freeway drive to reach the coastal medical centers where much of the county's specialty care sits. For someone who is supposed to keep weight off a diabetic foot ulcer or keep a venous leg elevated, that weekly trip — through San Diego traffic, into a parking structure, and back — is exactly where the treatment plan breaks down, and the missed appointment is where a manageable wound becomes an emergency room visit. Home-based visits from licensed physicians and nurse practitioners eliminate the travel entirely, delivering sharp debridement, infection surveillance, negative pressure wound therapy, multilayer compression, and cellular tissue products when clinically indicated at the bedside — from the South Bay to North County to the East County foothills.
Yes. Our clinicians see patients throughout North County — coastal cities like Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, and inland cities like Escondido, San Marcos, and Vista — as well as the city of San Diego, the South Bay, and East County. If your address is in a 919, 920, or 921 ZIP code, we can likely see you.

Yes. We see patients in Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach, and the surrounding South Bay, where large Spanish-speaking and Filipino communities are concentrated.

Limb preservation is the explicit goal of our diabetic foot care. Our clinicians combine sharp debridement, offloading guidance, infection control, and advanced biologics when indicated, delivered consistently at home so a stalled diabetic foot ulcer stays on a healing trajectory.
Yes. We reach the East County suburbs of El Cajon, La Mesa, and Santee and the inland North County cities — areas where the drive to a coastal wound clinic is exactly why home-based care makes sense.
