Do you or a loved one suffer with non-healing wounds? We all suffer cuts, scratches, burns, sores, and some larger wounds as part of a normal, active lifestyle. Given a careful cleaning, some antiseptic cream and a bandage, most minor sores will begin to heal immediately and close completely within a few days. However, some of us develop wounds that will not heal, even after many months, and require highly specialized chronic wound treatment. Without such specialized care, these chronic wound patients and their families often face many years of pain, disability, failed conventional medical care, and endless weekly visits for treatment.

If you have a wound that will not heal, The Advanced Wound Healing Institute can help you!

Why some wounds will not heal

Many non-healing wounds and sores are actually caused by other illness or underlying medical conditions of which the patient may not be aware. Diabetes, smoking, poor blood circulation, heart problems, poor nutrition and many medications may cause wounds to develop or just not heal.

Are you worried about needing an amputation?

Our comprehensive and individualized medical care can often heal the most difficult non-healing wounds which compromise quality of life and threaten permanent disability and possible limb amputation. In fact, many of the patients and families that come to us for a second opinion actually don't need an amputation, just the next level of care. Some of our patients come to our institute after years of conventional wound "maintenance" that has failed to resolve their wounds. Most wounds can be managed with a few simple changes in care. Sometimes special reconstructive surgery is required as part of chronic wound management and successful wound closure. Our institute has one of the most advanced and experienced surgery groups in the nation. Our surgical team routinely conducts complex surgeries that include rotated and advanced flaps, free flaps, skin grafting and surgery in tissues that have been exposed to radiation in the treatment of cancer.
