WOUND CARE

St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville expands its comprehensive rehabilitation services to encompass specialized care for wound healing. Our team of highly skilled physical therapists leverages their knowledge of human physiology and wound management principles to optimize the healing process for a variety of wound types.

Physical Therapy for Targeted Wound Care:

• Post-Surgical Wounds: Our therapists can significantly improve outcomes following surgery by reducing scar tissue formation, enhancing circulation, and restoring optimal range of motion around the surgical site.
• Chronic Wounds: Physical therapy interventions can effectively address chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers or pressure sores, by promoting granulation tissue formation, reducing inflammation, and improving lymphatic drainage.
• Burns: Our therapists can design a personalized program to minimize scar contractures, improve flexibility, and restore function after burn injuries.

Benefits of Our Physical Therapy for Wound Healing:

• Enhanced Blood Flow: Therapeutic techniques can promote circulation, which is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for healing.
• Reduced Edema: Our physical therapy can effectively manage swelling around the wound site, accelerating healing and promoting comfort.
• Improved Pain Management: Targeted interventions can help manage pain associated with wounds, allowing for more effective participation in rehabilitation exercises.
• Faster Functional Recovery: By restoring strength and flexibility around the wound, our therapists can expedite a patient's return to daily activities.

Complementary Care for Optimal Healing:

While St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville focuses on the physical therapy aspects of wound healing, our team collaborates closely with a patient's physician to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan. This collaborative approach optimizes the healing journey and promotes a faster and more successful recovery.

Individuals experiencing wounds who want to maximize their healing potential can benefit from a consultation at St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville. Our expertise in physical therapy can significantly contribute to a more efficient and complete recovery.
