WOUND CARE
Supporting Your Wound Recovery
COMPREHENSIVE WOUND CARE
Wound Care Beyond Venous Ulcers
At LARC, we provide individualized care for wounds associated with swelling, pressure, injury, and recovery following surgery. Our approach addresses the wound itself alongside factors that may interfere with healing, including skin condition, mobility limitations, and difficulty managing daily care.
Depending on the wound and the patient’s needs, we evaluate and manage:
Venous leg ulcers: Lower-leg wounds associated with chronic venous insufficiency, often accompanied by swelling and skin changes.
Pressure ulcers and pressure injuries: Skin and tissue damage related to prolonged pressure, often affecting areas such as the heels, hips, and tailbone. Care includes attention to positioning, pressure relief, and mobility.
Wounds associated with lymphedema: Open areas, fragile skin, and drainage occurring alongside persistent swelling.
Traumatic wounds and skin tears: Wounds following an injury, including those complicated by fragile skin or swelling.
Delayed-healing surgical wounds: Selected postoperative wounds requiring additional support, in coordination with the treating surgeon.
Wound care at LARC is provided by wound-care-certified physical therapists practicing within the scope of their professional licenses, training, and qualifications. If your condition requires evaluation or treatment beyond our scope, we will help coordinate a referral to an appropriate medical or surgical provider. We are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team to support continuity of care.
WOUND CARE EXPERTISE
Treatment That Looks Beyond the Dressing
Care may include wound assessment and measurement, appropriate debridement, dressing selection, swelling management, compression when clinically appropriate, and education for patients and caregivers. We also address movement, positioning, and practical barriers that make wound care difficult at home.
We coordinate with your medical team and help arrange additional evaluation when circulation concerns, suspected infection, or other needs require medical or surgical attention.
