Taking care of you
Slow-healing wounds can cause significant pain and disrupt your daily activities, but the risks extend beyond discomfort. Chronic wounds can lead to severe complications, including bone infections and, in extreme cases, amputation. The dedicated team at Healing Touch WoundCare Center provide comprehensive care, including nutritional support, advanced dressings, and specialized treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
When Do I Need Professional Wound Care?
It is important to have wounds evaluated by a professional as soon as possible. Severe wounds and wounds that develop an infection need professional wound care to heal properly.
You also need skilled treatment for a wound that is not healing or has not healed properly.
As a general guideline, you have a chronic or non-healing wound when it hasn’t started to heal in two weeks or fails to completely heal in six weeks. However, if you develop an ulcer on your lower leg or foot, you shouldn’t wait to see if it heals. Ulcers don’t heal on their own; they only get progressively worse and cause complications.
What Types of Wounds Need Professional Wound Care?
A variety of wounds necessitate professional treatment. Commonly addressed at Healing Touch WoundCare are:
Diabetic wounds or foot ulcers
Venous leg ulcers
Arterial ulcers
Infected wounds
Pressure sores
Complications from surgical wounds
Non-healing wounds can take months to recover. The longer a wound persists, the greater the risk of severe infections that may spread to surrounding skin and bones. In the most serious cases, chronic wounds can lead to amputation.
What Symptoms Indicate I Need Wound Care?
The symptoms that suggest a wound needs professional care can vary depending on the type and severity of the wound.
If you’re uncertain about the condition of a wound, it’s crucial to seek care promptly to avoid further complications.
Symptoms indicating that a wound isn’t healing properly or may be infected include:
Fever
Foul odor
Drainage from the wound
Thick, discolored discharge
Swelling and redness
Pain that worsens or does not improve
Red blotches or streaks spreading from the wound
Dark or bluish discoloration around the edges of the wound
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact the specialists at Healing Touch WoundCare Center for immediate wound care.
Chronic wounds require intensive treatment that begins with a thorough assessment by one of our highly-trained providers.
When you arrive for your appointment, the team at Healing Touch WoundCare will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and carefully evaluate the size and depth of your wound.
In many cases, our providers will perform diagnostic testing to identify your wound's underlying cause and look for potential complications such as bone infections. You may also need blood tests, vascular studies, ultrasound, transcutaneous oxygen testing, and diagnostic imaging such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-rays. These tests allow your provider to assess if the wound has inflicted further damage that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Your Diagnosis at Healing Touch WoundCare
What Treatments Are Available at Healing Touch WoundCare?

Wound Care at Home
Most wounds need ongoing care or at-home treatment to heal effectively, which may also involve lifestyle adjustments. Healing Touch WoundCare Center offers holistic wound care, including recommendations for dietary or lifestyle changes to support healing.
Nutritional counseling is a key component of wound care, as your body requires additional nutrients to aid in the healing process. Our team of specialists will also guide you on how to change dressings and care for your wound at home, ensuring you maintain an optimal healing environment.
