Rehabilitation
Wound Care Program
For most patients, wound healing can be a long and difficult process. But for some, problem wounds can lead to a severely compromised
quality of life and sometimes even the loss of a limb. Wound Care
is used when wounds will not heal. In addition to being painful,
they can lead to infections and, in the worse cases, gangrene or
amputation.
Our Wound Care Program consists of a team of skilled therapists who develop customized plans of care to treat specific wounds.
Our specialists provide consultation, evaluations, treatments and post-treatment education. By combining the latest in wound care treatments with
physical therapy, exercise and nutrition, our program is completely
devoted to healing problem wounds and helping you reclaim your
quality of life.
