When a Wound Won’t Heal: What You Need to Know

Wounds that linger longer than expected can be frustrating and concerning. If you’ve been treating a sore, cut, or ulcer and it's still not healing after several weeks, it may be time to see a wound care specialist. At Sinai Vein and Wound Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating chronic wounds, helping patients return to comfortable, healthy living.

Chronic wounds often stem from underlying conditions that interfere with the body’s natural healing process. Poor circulation, diabetes, or venous insufficiency can all contribute to delayed healing. Without proper treatment, these wounds may worsen, becoming infected or even leading to tissue loss. That’s why timely, professional care is critical.

Our approach to wound care is comprehensive and compassionate. We begin by identifying the cause of the wound, whether it’s vascular-related or due to another medical issue. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include advanced dressings, debridement, compression therapy, and pain management. Our team also educates patients on daily wound care routines and works closely with caregivers and family members when needed.

In addition to hands-on care, we emphasize prevention. We’ll help you manage risk factors like blood sugar levels, lifestyle habits, and proper skin care to reduce the chance of wounds recurring.

At Sinai, healing isn’t just a goal, it’s our promise. If you or a loved one is struggling with a wound that won’t heal, don’t wait. Call us at 718-615-4100 to schedule an appointment and get the expert care you deserve.
