Wound Care Conditions
If you’re suffering from a chronic or non-healing wound, you are not alone. Every year, chronic wounds affect millions of people in the United States.
Chronic non-healing wounds may have many causes, including a lack of proper blood supply; trauma; tears, cuts or punctures and other stresses with potential for infection and widespread damage to surrounding tissues. Sometimes, wounds or sores may not get better during the course of conventional treatment. These wounds can lead to severe health risks and life-altering situations such as amputation and other debilitating health problems.

Consistently Providing Quality Care
Our team of providers are specially trained to treat wounds that have resisted healing after months and even years of traditional treatment. The objective is to treat the wound by addressing the underlying issues, including:
-
Vascular Disease
Inadequate blood flow by arteries which deliver oxygen-rich blood to the body
-
Venous Disease
Caused by defective valves that result in a back-up of blood in the veins of the legs
-
Diabetes
Which may cause vascular and nerve sensation disorders, especially of the feet
-
Structural Disorders of the Feet
Resulting in excessive pressure on the bony areas of the feet
-
Lack of Mobility and Bed Sores
Caused by pressure and shearing or tearing forces
-
Post-Operative/Surgical Wounds
-
Infections and Tissue Necrosis
-
Burns
Chemical, radiation and fire
-
Trauma
