Starting the New Year on the right foot: How Northwest Health wound care helps non-healing wounds
1/19/2021
As America welcomes the new year, Northwest Health’s wound care centers would like to remind its patients that if they or a loved one has a non-healing wound, the center can help heal that wound.
Approximately 15 percent of Medicare patients in the United States have at least one type of wound or infection. Left untreated, foot or leg wounds may result in limited mobility, lower quality of life and possible amputation. The new year is a great time to remind patients that if they are suffering from any type of wound, our center can get them on the path to healing.
Northwest Health’s wound care centers recommend that patients call for an appointment if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- an existing, slow-to-heal or non-healing wound
- foot or leg ulcer or wound
- non-healing surgical wound
- non-healing skin graft or surgical flap
- symptoms occurring on or around a point of radiation (such as pain, rectal or bladder bleeding)
- bone infection, also called osteomyelitis
- crush injury
