Non-healing Wounds

Symptoms

Symptoms of non-healing wounds may include:

N

Persistent pain in the affected area

N

Redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound

N

Foul odour or discharge

N

Delayed or stagnant healing progress

N

Recurrent infections

N

Formation of granulation tissue

N

Presence of necrotic or dead tissue

N

Changes in wound color

N

Increased size or depth of the wound

N

Impaired function or mobility in the adjacent area.

Causes

Causes for non-healing wounds may include:

E

Underlying chronic conditions (diabetes, peripheral artery disease)

E

Poor circulation, leading to insufficient blood flow to the wound site

E

Infection, hindering the normal healing process

E

Inadequate wound care or improper dressing changes

E

Compromised immune system

E

Nutritional deficiencies affecting tissue repair

E

Pressure ulcers due to immobility

E

Peripheral neuropathy, reducing sensation and awareness

E

Chronic inflammation

E

Vascular disorders impeding proper healing.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis for non-healing wounds may involve:

E

Clinical Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of the wound’s characteristics, including size, depth, and surrounding tissue condition.

E

Medical History: Reviewing the patient’s health history, including chronic conditions and medications.

E

Blood Tests: Assessing for underlying conditions such as diabetes or nutritional deficiencies.

E

Imaging Studies: Utilizing techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to examine the extent of tissue damage and assess underlying structures.

E

Cultures of Wound Fluid: Identifying the presence of infections and determining appropriate antimicrobial treatment.

E

Vascular Studies: Evaluating blood flow to the affected area to identify circulatory issues.

E

Biopsy: Extracting a tissue sample for laboratory analysis to determine the nature of the wound and guide treatment.

Treatments

Non-healing wounds pose a significant health concern and require specialized attention. Treatment emphasizes patient education to reduce complications, urging proper rest and limited movement on the affected side. In acute cases, like those six months old, initial pain management involves ice application and avoiding pressure on the wound. Modalities such as IFT, TENS, and Ultrasound are employed for effective pain management. Manual therapy incorporates mobilization techniques to improve joint range of motion by addressing capsular tightness. To enhance overall recovery, patients are recommended home exercises, fostering functional independence in the comprehensive care for non-healing wounds.

Our Non-Healing Wounds Treatment integrates cutting-edge Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to accelerate healing by promoting cell regeneration. Complemented by personalized Exercises & Rehabilitation, the program focuses on enhancing mobility and strength. Lifestyle Management strategies create a supportive environment for healing, addressing holistic well-being. Additionally, Diet and Nutrition Management ensures patients receive essential nutrients vital for tissue repair and overall recovery. This comprehensive approach reflects our commitment to effective wound care and improved quality of life.
