Living With a Wound That Won’t Heal? You’re Not Alone.
Over 7 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Whether caused by diabetes, poor circulation, or vascular disease, these wounds are more than painful — they can lead to infections, amputations, and serious complications when left untreated.
At Sinai Vein and Wound Care, we specialize in treating the root causes of hard-to-heal wounds using a personalized, minimally invasive approach. With board-certified physicians, advanced technology, and over 250 insurance plans accepted, we’re here to help you heal — quickly, safely, and compassionately.
What Makes a Wound “Chronic”?
If a wound hasn’t healed within 4 weeks, it’s considered chronic. Common signs include:
Persistent pain or swelling
Discolored or foul-smelling tissue
Drainage that doesn’t stop
Increasing size or depth
Skin darkening around the area
Many of our patients are surprised to learn that their non-healing wound is often linked to underlying vascular issues like Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) or Venous Insufficiency.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Waiting too long to treat a wound can lead to:
✅ Infections
✅ Blood clots
✅ Gangrene or tissue death
✅ Amputation
Early, proper care prevents complications and reduces recovery time. That’s why timing is everything, especially for diabetic patients or those with poor circulation.
How We Treat Wounds at Sinai
Our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. We start by identifying the underlying cause, then create a custom treatment plan that may include:
🔍 Advanced imaging & diagnostics (ultrasound, ABI testing)
💉 Minimally invasive vascular procedures to restore circulation
🩹 Evidence-based wound care - dressings, antibiotics, debridement
🧠 Patient education to prevent recurrence and improve healing at home
Every treatment is performed in our Brooklyn or Manhattan clinic, no hospital stays, no long waits.
