Understanding Wound Care: Why It Matters
Wound care is more than just applying a bandage—it’s a specialized medical field dedicated to managing and treating wounds that fail to heal naturally. Chronic wounds can result from various factors, including diabetes, poor circulation, or prolonged pressure. Ignoring these wounds may lead to severe complications, including infections and loss of mobility. Our goal is to promote effective healing and prevent these outcomes.
Types of Wounds We Treat
At California Advanced Wound Care, we handle a variety of wound types, including:
Diabetic Ulcers: Common among individuals with diabetes, these wounds can be slow to heal and may lead to complications without proper care.
Venous and Arterial Ulcers: Caused by poor blood flow, these wounds require expert treatment to address the underlying vascular issues.
Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores): These develop due to prolonged pressure on certain areas of the body and need specialized attention to heal effectively.
Post-Surgical Wounds: We assist in managing wounds that do not heal properly after surgery, reducing the risk of infection.
Burns and Traumatic Injuries: From minor burns to severe injuries, we offer comprehensive treatment plans to restore skin health.
