Wound Care

Venous and Arterial Ulcer Care at Home in the Inland Northwest

Circulation plays a vital role in wound healing. When blood flow is disrupted, wounds on the legs and feet can become chronic, painful, and resistant to standard care.

‍Venous and arterial ulcers are two of the most common circulation-related wounds, and they require specialized treatment to heal effectively.

At Clinic 5C, we provide in-home wound care services throughout Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and Northern Idaho.

By bringing hospital-level expertise into the home, we help patients and caregivers manage these challenging wounds with confidence and consistency.

What Are Venous and Arterial Ulcers?

Venous ulcers are usually caused by poor circulation in the veins, often linked to varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency. They typically appear on the lower legs or ankles and can be slow to heal.
Arterial ulcers are caused by reduced blood flow through the arteries. They often occur on the feet or toes and may be more painful, especially at night or when the legs are elevated.

Both types of ulcers require careful evaluation to determine the cause and the most effective treatment plan.

Why These Wounds Need Expert Care

Venous and arterial ulcers are not just skin problems. They are signs of deeper circulation issues that must be managed alongside wound treatment.

Without expert care, these ulcers may become infected or worsen, leading to serious complications.

What Sets Clinic 5C Apart

At Clinic 5C, our in-home wound care is delivered by advanced providers (PA-Cs), offering a higher level of expertise than traditional home health teams. This allows us to:

Accurately assess the type of ulcer and its underlying cause
Provide thorough wound cleaning and debridement when necessary
Deliver advanced regenerative therapies to encourage tissue repair
Coordinate with your broader medical team to support circulation health

Because we are connected with dermatology and functional medicine providers, patients also have access to additional therapies if travel to our Spokane or Liberty Lake clinics is possible.

Our Healing Process

Supporting Patients and Caregivers

Venous and arterial ulcers can be exhausting to manage at home, especially for families and caregivers.

By having Clinic 5C come directly to the patient, you gain peace of mind knowing that a highly trained provider is overseeing care with the same level of attention you would expect in a clinic.
