Wound Healing Care
Specialized Care for Chronic & Non-Healing Wounds
A dedicated evaluation process to help identify why a wound isn’t healing and what options may help.
WHAT IS WOUND HEALING CARE?
Some wounds do not heal as expected due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, poor circulation, or prolonged pressure. Our wound care evaluation looks at the full clinical picture, not just the wound itself, to help identify contributing factors and discuss options that may support the healing process.
Chronic wounds can affect quality of life well beyond the physical discomfort involved, including limiting mobility and independence. Our goal is to help identify what is interfering with healing and to build a plan that addresses those factors directly.
UNDERSTANDING DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS
Diabetic foot ulcers are persistent, non-healing wounds that result from diabetes-related nerve and blood vessel damage, which impairs both sensation and circulation in the feet. Because of this, even a minor injury can go unnoticed and gradually deteriorate into an open sore on a weight-bearing area of the foot.
BY THE NUMBERS
COMMON CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
PRIMARY CONTRIBUTING MECHANISMS
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Reduces sensation in the feet and can delay recognition of minor injuries.
• Compromised Blood Flow: Vessel narrowing can slow the body’s natural healing response.
• Weakened Immune Response: Elevated blood glucose can weaken the immune response and increase infection risk.
• Secondary Factors: Improper footwear, foot deformities, or an abnormal gait may also contribute.

OUR APPROACH & DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS
Chronic wounds are evaluated with attention to circulation, tissue health, infection risk, and any underlying medical conditions that may be interfering with healing. A thorough assessment typically includes evaluation of the wound itself, including size, depth, and appearance, neurological sensation testing, vascular blood flow studies, and imaging when bone involvement is a concern.
Depending on the evaluation, your care plan may include standard wound care management such as cleaning, tissue debridement, offloading, and glucose control support, referrals, or regenerative treatment options such as PRP or, in select resistant cases, stem cell or exosome therapy. See our Treatment Modalities page for additional information.
These approaches are intended to help support the body’s natural healing process.
As with any medical treatment, appropriateness is determined on a case by case basis, and outcomes vary by individual. We are direct with patients and caregivers about what to realistically expect at each stage.
