GENERAL

What is Wound Care?

Wound care is a specialized form of medical treatment that aids in the healing of wounds at all stages, especially those that are non-healing or require a more comprehensive care plan. 

The type of wounds typically treated with professional wound care include pressure ulcers, chronic foot ulcers (due to diabetes, poor circulation, swollen legs, etc.), radiation sores, and non-healing surgical wounds.

Wound Care FAQs

Are you interested in learning more about wound care? Our board-certified dermatologists explain what a wound care specialist is, how this treatment is implemented, what wound care management at Brentwood Dermatology involves, and more. 

When visiting our practice for wound care in Brentwood, TN, one of our board-certified dermatologists will first examine and measure your wound, as well as learn more about your medical history. 

Then, your doctor will ask you questions about the cause of your wound and uncover the reason it may not be properly healing. This may be due to poor circulation, an infection, lack of exercise, insufficient diet, diabetes, or something else. 

Once the wound is fully examined and evaluated, your doctor will put together a suitable wound care plan to foster optimal healing and recovery.

At Brentwood Dermatology, our wound care specialists treat every injury as gently and tenderly as possible to avoid causing any pain or discomfort. However, due to the severe nature of some injuries, pain may be experienced during the recovery and healing process. 

A wound care specialist is a licensed professional who is experienced in fostering the healing of problematic wounds. They are specifically trained in: 

  • Identifying the underlying cause of why a wound may not be healing
  • Correctly cleaning and caring for a wound to prevent possible infections
  • Reducing the chances of new wounds from occurring or old wounds from coming back
  • Preventing limb loss 
  • Performing debridement (removing dead skin and tissue from the wound)
  • Helping patients stay mobile

Professional wound care takes place in a clinic or hospital setting where you will work with a team of healthcare providers who are specifically trained and experienced in treating and caring for non-healing or chronic wounds. 

However, your wound care plan may include instructions on how to care for your wound in between clinic visits.

Whether or not wound care is covered by your insurance depends on your unique insurance plan. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider to determine if wound care is covered under your insurance plan before making a wound care appointment in Brentwood, TN.
