Patients with chronic, non-healing wounds can receive care at the Danville Polyclinic Wound Center.
Non-healing wound cases can exact a toll on patients far beyond the pain and discomfort of the wound. They can cause patients to lose their mobility, which may lead to a decline in general health and emotional well being. Patients often become disabled, unable to work and dependant on care from their families.
Chronic wounds, sometimes caused by trauma in accidents and falls, are often associated with underlying conditions such as diabetes, clogging of the arteries and diseases of the veins. Eighty-six thousand amputations each year are the result of foot ulcers that plague one out of every seven people with diabetes. Wounds that won’t heal are often signs of larger and more complicated problems.
