Wound Healing Relief from Chronic Wounds

Every year, chronic wounds caused by diabetes, insect bites, pressure ulcers, trauma or other conditions keep three to five million people from living life the way they'd like. The Wound Healing Institute of Carolina at Aiken Regional Medical Centers can help.

Our wound care team treats sores and wounds, including those that have resisted healing for months or even years. If you have a sore or wound that has not begun to heal in a month, or healed entirely in two months, you should ask your doctor for a referral to the Wound Healing Institute of Carolina. If your health insurance allows, we also accept self-referrals.
