Wound Care

An open wound resulting from pressure, vascular problems, trauma, surgery, and/or diabetes can lead to serious medical issues if it doesn’t heal properly. Physical Therapy can play a critical role in the healing process.

Heal faster and feel stronger

You might not think of physical therapy as a part of caring for and recovering from a wound. But in addition to careful cleaning and dressing, strengthening and conditioning exercises can promote faster and better healing. Viverant draws on years of experience, in-depth knowledge of anatomy and tissue healing, mobility and positioning expertise, using the most current and advanced wound care protocols.

Speaking with a Viverant Dietitian

Personalized one-on-one care

We start by creating a personalized plan of care that includes appropriate treatment of the wound and removal of any necrotic tissue, as well as proper bandaging and topical medications (as needed). Wound care treatment sessions are conducted one-on-one in a comfortable private treatment room with a Physical Therapist who has extensive experience and specialized training in wound care. Your treatment will include:

  • Reviewing your medical history
  • Selective debridement, wound cleaning and dressing as needed
  • Techniques to help you care for your wound at home
  • Addressing limitations in strength, range of motion and function
  • Dietary recommendations for enhanced healing are also available

Wound Care can also be part of our treatment protocol for Pre- and Post-Operative Rehabilitation and Diabetes & Pre-Diabetic Therapy. Please see these pages for details on these therapeutic services.
