A wound might develop for many reasons.\u00a0 This can range from the quite mundane, like a cut on the foot or a scrape on the shin, to the very serious.\u00a0 If we think about our everyday life, most wound heal pretty quickly; we put some antibiotic ointment on it, take an ibuprofen for the discomfort, and forget about it!\u00a0 So, why do we have millions of patients in our country with wounds that will not heal for weeks, months, or even years?\u00a0 To put it simply, the wound is stuck in one phase of wound healing and has taken a detour into the non-healing state.\u00a0 We can compare wound healing to building a building.\u00a0 Before you can start construction, you have to clear off the site of any bush, debris, and flatten the land.\u00a0 This compares to your first phase of normal wound healing, which is inflammation.\u00a0 Your white blood cells come onto the scene and clear out any bacteria or debris in the wound.\u00a0 They also signal other kinds of cells that are needed to start traveling to the wound bed.\u00a0 Let us go back to our construction site.\u00a0 Once the ground has been set, you need to bring in your equipment onto the site.\u00a0 You need new road access to bring supplies and waste to and from, respectively, your site.\u00a0 You also lay your foundations and set up scaffolding.\u00a0 This is comparable to your next phase in wound healing: inflammation.\u00a0 This is where your body creates new blood vessels to supply the wound with blood that carries the oxygen and nutrients needed to heal.\u00a0 It also deposits collagen that acts as a scaffold.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0This prepares the body for the final phase, which is to heal that wound!\u00a0 Just like when all your preparation for building has been done correctly and then construction goes smoothly, so too does your wound usually heal “on schedule”.\u00a0 When it doesn’t, it is due to your wound taking a detour off of the continuum of healing that has been described in this analogy.\u00a0 Maybe the patient has issues with infection or blood flow?\u00a0 Maybe the issue is multifactorial?\u00a0 Here at WCE and WCR, we approach the patient in a holistic and comprehensive manner to address your hindrances to healing and get you back on the highway to healing. -MAL<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
