Expert Wound Care for Faster Healing

Wound healing is a complex process, and not every wound heals the same way. At Healthy Connections, we take a broad-based, personalized approach to provide effective treatment. If you’re dealing with a non-healing surgical wound or a wound caused by a chronic condition like diabetes or poor circulation, our experienced providers will offer the highest level of medical care to help you heal faster and reduce the risk of complications.

Advanced Treatment for Wound Care

Our wound care clinics specialize in treating chronic wounds, non-healing surgical wounds, and wounds caused by venous or arterial insufficiency. We offer personalized treatment plans to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection. Some of the specialized services we provide include:

Treatments for Venous and Arterial Insufficiency

Chronic wounds caused by venous or arterial insufficiency require targeted treatment to restore proper blood flow, reduce swelling, and promote wound healing. At Healthy Connections, we carefully evaluate the underlying causes of your condition and customize your care plan based on factors such as your age, health history, and overall tolerance to medications and procedures. Our goal is to improve circulation, reduce edema, and speed up the healing process of wounds like venous leg ulcers.

Diabetic Ulcer Care

If you have diabetes, you’re at a higher risk for developing ulcers—open sores that can be difficult to heal. These ulcers often occur on the legs and feet and can lead to serious infections if not treated properly. Our wound care specialists at Healthy Connections are experienced in treating diabetic ulcers and will help prevent further complications by providing the care you need to protect your health.

Non-Healing Surgical Wounds

When a surgical wound doesn’t heal as expected, it’s often due to infection or other complications. Non-healing surgical wounds require immediate attention to prevent further issues. At Healthy Connections, we specialize in treating these types of wounds, using advanced therapies to address underlying causes and promote proper healing.

Advanced Wound Dressings

Our team uses the latest wound care products, such as antimicrobial dressings and skin substitutes, to accelerate the wound healing process and minimize discomfort. Advanced wound dressings are designed to meet your specific needs, providing the right level of moisture, oxygen, and protection to support the wound healing process.

Pressure Ulcer Care

We treat and manage pressure ulcers (bedsores) using advanced techniques to reduce wound pain and prevent further tissue damage. Pressure ulcers occur when prolonged pressure on the skin restricts blood flow, causing the tissue to break down. These ulcers most commonly affect individuals who are immobile or bedridden for long periods. Our team at Healthy Connections focuses on relieving pressure, improving circulation, and promoting wound healing. Our goal is to treat the ulcer and to prevent future occurrences by providing preventive measures.

Infection Management

Infected wounds can lead to complications and delayed healing, which is why our wound care specialists at Healthy Connections take a proactive approach to managing infections. We offer a range of treatments, including topical and systemic antibiotics, antimicrobial dressings, and proper wound-cleaning techniques, to control and eliminate infected tissue. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria, and provide a healthy healing environment for your wound.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, diabetes can lead to chronic wounds, particularly ulcers on the feet and legs, which can be difficult to heal and are prone to infection. Our team specializes in proper wound care to prevent further health complications.

If your wound hasn’t healed after a few weeks, appears infected, or causes significant pain or swelling, it may require specialized treatment. Chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds that aren’t healing properly should be evaluated by a wound care specialist.

Common signs of an infected wound include increased redness, swelling, warmth around the area, pus or drainage, a foul odor, and worsening pain. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention to prevent further complications.

During your first appointment, a wound care specialist will assess your wound, review your medical history, and discuss your symptoms. Based on this evaluation, we’ll create a treatment plan to prevent infection and further the healing process.
