Everyone gets a scratch, a bruise or bump now and then. But if you are severely injured or suffer from a condition that inhibits wound healing, you know that those minor hurts develop into weeks, months or even years of debilitating injury.

Conditions that affect how a wound heals, or doesn't heal, include:

• diabetes .
• circulatory problems .
• Peripheral Vascular Disease .
• medications that inhibit healing .
• severe injuries .
• infection .
• long-term immobilization .
• radiation damage to tissue.

Most patients who visit the Wound Healing Center have been suffering with a non-healing wound and have visited their family doctor about it, but found that traditional treatment just hasn't helped with the healing.
