For many people, a scrape or cut is nothing more than a short-term inconvenience. But for others, wounds can linger for weeks or even months without showing signs of improvement. These are known as chronic wounds.

Main Points:

• Chronic wounds often develop from conditions like diabetes, venous disease, or pressure injuries.
• Poor circulation, neuropathy, and repeated trauma are major contributors.
• Without specialized treatment, chronic wounds can lead to infection, hospitalization, or even amputation.

At Treasure Coast Wound Care, we specialize in identifying and treating the underlying causes of chronic wounds. If your wound hasn’t healed after several weeks, it’s time to seek expert care.
