Understanding Wounds
A wound is any break in the skin or underlying tissues, and while many heal naturally, others require specialized care to prevent complications. Chronic or complex wounds often result from poor circulation, diabetes, immobility, or infection and need medical management to ensure proper healing.
Types of Wounds We Treat
At Veins & Wellness Medical Group, we provide comprehensive care for a wide variety of wounds, including:
- Chronic ulcers – venous, arterial, diabetic, or pressure ulcers.
- Post-surgical wounds – slow-healing or complicated incisions.
- Infected or draining wounds – wounds with pus, foul odor, or delayed healing.
- Traumatic wounds – cuts, abrasions, burns, or injuries from accidents.
- Slow-healing injuries – wounds that persist beyond normal healing time.
- Skin breakdown in elderly or bedridden patients – pressure sores and fragile skin tears.
Signs of Infection
Recognizing infection early is critical to prevent worsening complications. Warning signs include:
- Increased redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound.
- Pus, discharge, or foul odor.
- Persistent pain or tenderness.
- Fever, chills, or feeling unwell.
- Wounds that enlarge or fail to improve over time.
If you notice these symptoms, immediate medical attention is necessary.
Possible Complications if Left Untreated
Without proper care, wounds can lead to:
- Severe infections (cellulitis, abscess, or sepsis).
- Chronic non-healing ulcers that affect quality of life.
- Tissue damage and necrosis.
- Amputations in severe diabetic or vascular cases.
- Reduced mobility and prolonged hospital stays.
Advanced Treatment Options
Our wound care approach combines medical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered care:
- Comprehensive wound assessment & documentation.
- Debridement – removal of dead or infected tissue to promote healing.
- Advanced dressings & infection control – tailored to each wound type.
- Compression therapy – essential for venous ulcers and circulation issues.
- Coordination with PCPs or specialists – ensuring holistic care when needed.
For each patient, we design a personalized wound care plan, considering your medical history, risk factors, and healing goals.
