Everyone faces wounds every now and then. A scraped knee, infected spider bite, burns and ulcers are all considered wounds. Most wounds are minor and can be treated at home. However, if you are suffering from a wound that has not healed in the last 30 days, the Wound Care Center of Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine can help with our expert wound care services.

Application of Cell and Tissue Products
Cellular and tissue-based products are engineered skin replacements used to provide extensive and long-lasting coverage for wounds. They reduce pain and negate the creation of new wounds.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment modality where light is used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing and soft tissue repair.
Skin Graft Therapy
Skin grafts are typically used for larger wounds that are difficult to heal on their own. A healthy piece of skin is taken from part of the body and transplanted on the wounded skin. As your wound heals, the skin graft is absorbed or sloughed off, replaced by your own healthy tissue.
Ultrasound Wound Therapy
Ultrasound Wound Therapy is used to deliver a high-frequency mechanical vibration to help facilitate healing at a cellular level. It reduces pain, increases circulation and increases the mobility of soft tissues.
Wound Vac Therapy (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy)
Wound VAC Therapy is the vacuum-assisted closure of a wound. A wound VAC removes pressure from the wound and can help pull the edges of the wound together, stimulating the growth of new tissue to help the wound close.
