Pressure Ulcer Treatment at Home in the Inland Northwest
For patients with limited mobility, wounds caused by constant pressure on the skin can quickly become a serious concern.
Pressure ulcers, also called bedsores, are painful and prone to infection if not managed correctly. They often develop in patients who are bedridden or use a wheelchair, and they require specialized care to heal.
At Clinic 5C, we provide in-home wound care throughout Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and Northern Idaho.
Our team of advanced providers (PA-Cs) brings high-level medical expertise directly to patients, delivering the same quality of care you would expect in a specialty clinic, right in the comfort of home.
What Causes Pressure Ulcers?
Pressure ulcers form when constant pressure reduces blood flow to the skin. Common causes include:
- Extended time in one position due to illness or injury
- Limited mobility in elderly or chronically ill patients
- Friction and moisture that weaken the skin
- Underlying health conditions such as diabetes or circulation problems
These ulcers often appear on bony areas such as the heels, hips, or tailbone and can range from mild redness to deep wounds.
Why Pressure Ulcers Require Expert Care
Without treatment, pressure ulcers can progress quickly, leading to severe infection and hospital stays. E
arly and consistent intervention is essential to protect both the wound and the patient’s overall health.
