What Is Wound Care?

Wound care focuses on the evaluation and treatment of wounds that are not healing properly. Using advanced therapies alongside traditional medical and surgical approaches, our goal is to prevent complications, reduce pain, and promote healing.

Your care team will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and overall health.

  • Arterial ulcers
  • Burns
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Non-healing surgical wounds
  • Pressure injuries (bed sores)
  • Radiation-related wounds
  • Skin tears
  • Traumatic wounds
  • Venous leg ulcers
  • Wounds caused by poor circulation
Signs You Should Seek Care

If you have a wound that is not healing or shows signs of infection, it's important to seek care as soon as possible.

Common warning signs include:

  • Increasing redness or warmth around the wound
  • Swelling or increased pain
  • Drainage, pus, or foul odor
  • Fever or chills
  • The wound getting larger or not improving
  • Discoloration or dead tissue around the wound

Early treatment can help prevent more serious complications.

Risk Factors

Anyone can develop a wound or infection, but certain conditions may increase your risk, including:

  • Diabetes or poor circulation
  • Weakened immune system
  • Open or chronic wounds
  • Pressure or injury to the skin

If you are at higher risk, regular monitoring and early intervention are especially important.

Our team uses a comprehensive, personalized approach to wound healing, which may include:

  • Advanced wound care therapies
  • Debridement (removal of damaged tissue)
  • Infection management and medications
  • Nutritional guidance to support healing
  • Ongoing monitoring and adjustments to your care plan

We work closely with your care team and primary physician to ensure coordinated, effective treatment.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

During your first visit, we will take time to understand your condition and develop a plan tailored to you.

This may include:

  • A physical exam and medical history review
  • Detailed wound evaluation
  • Treatment to clean or remove damaged tissue, if needed
  • Education on how to care for your wound at home
