Chronic Wounds: When Healing Stalls


Chronic wounds are wounds that don't heal in the expected timeframe, often taking weeks or even months. Unlike acute wounds that follow a predictable healing process, chronic wounds get stuck due to various underlying factors.

Find Wound Care Near You

If you or a loved one is struggling with a wound that won’t heal, a Royal Wound Care Wound Care Center can help. Since there is no need for a referral, your treatment is only a click and call away.

Common Causes:

  • Vascular Disease: Poor blood circulation can deprive tissues of oxygen and nutrients.

  • Diabetes: High blood sugar can impair wound healing.

  • Pressure Injuries: Prolonged pressure on the skin, often in immobile patients.

  • Infection: Persistent infection can hinder the healing process.

If you have a wound that isn't healing, seek medical attention. Proper wound care and addressing the underlying cause are crucial for healing.
