Path Toward Healing

Wound care specialists at Alternative Healthcare LA help stimulate the body's restorative properties by removing dead tissue and then sterilizing and dressing wounds. "Most patients we treat are people with diabetes who have lower-extremity wounds, such as pressure ulcers in their feet or ankles, at AHC-LA Treatment begins with the painless removal of the dead tissue: callous skin is excised manually or dissolved with enzymatic treatments. Depending on the presence of infection, topical or intravenous antibiotics are delivered to the wound site. Some wounds can be closed with Amniotic skin grafts.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

A patient with a lack of oxygen or blood flow to a limb, a condition known as ischemia, may be a candidate for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This type of treatment delivers pressurized oxygen to the wound site to help speed the healing process. "During HBOT, oxygen is delivered at two-and-a-half to three times atmospheric pressure, stimulating new blood vessel and cell growth to promote quick healing. A typical course of HBOT lasts up to eight weeks of treatment. During therapy, patients rest comfortably in a hyperbaric chamber where they may relax, sleep or watch television.

Case managers assist patients and their family members with arrangements for transportation, home healthcare, durable medical equipment and other services. Some patients may be outfitted with off-loading devices, such as surgical boots and casts that relieve wound-site pressure to speed healing.
