Wound Care for Spanish Fork, UT: Non-Healing Wounds, What to Do Next, and When to Get Help

If a wound isn’t healing, it’s usually not because you’re “not trying hard enough.” Chronic and complex wounds often get stuck due to circulation issues, swelling, infection risk, pressure, diabetes, or a dressing plan that isn’t matched to what the wound actually needs.

A Body Renaissance provides advanced wound care and commonly sees patients from Spanish Fork and other Utah County cities. Our clinic is located in Payson, UT.

A wound doesn’t have to look “terrible” to be a problem. If you notice any of the following, it’s smart to get evaluated:

• Little to no improvement after 2–4 weeks

• Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or tenderness

• Drainage (especially foul odor or thick fluid)

• Worsening pain—or numbness around the area

• Dark/black tissue, spreading discoloration, or the wound getting larger

Most non-healing wounds have one or more causes underneath the surface:

• Poor circulation (arterial/ischemic issues)

• Swelling/venous disease (often needs compression when safe)

• Pressure on the wound (common with foot wounds—off-loading matters)

• Infection risk or biofilm

• Diabetes and slower tissue repair

• Inconsistent wound care plan or dressing changes that don’t match the wound stage

We treat chronic and complex wounds including:

• Diabetic foot ulcers

• Venous stasis ulcers

• Arterial/ischemic ulcers (with vascular coordination as needed)

• Pressure injuries (Stages 2–3)

• Post-surgical non-healing wounds

• Traumatic wounds and select burns

A good wound care visit isn’t just a bandage change. It’s a full plan.

Common steps can include: assessment, perfusion/pressure review, debridement when appropriate, culture when indicated, advanced dressings, and a home plan that’s actually doable.

Off-loading and compression are fitted as needed, and we coordinate with vascular, podiatry, PT/OT, and primary care when it makes sense.

It depends on size, depth, circulation, infection control, and whether pressure/swelling are managed correctly.

Many wounds can improve within weeks with consistent care—but the goal is measurable progress, not guessing.

Some wound symptoms can be emergencies. Seek urgent care/ER if you have:

• Rapidly spreading redness or swelling

• Fever or chills

• Severe pain, worsening drainage, or foul odor with rapid decline

If you’re unsure, don’t gamble—get evaluated quickly.
