Are you seeking wound care with proven results for yourself or a loved one? Are you tired of making repeated trips to a far off medical facility for wound treatment? At West Coast Wound Care, we aim to provide effective, convenient, and holistic wound care for Northridge and the nearby areas.

Wounds can be difficult to manage, both physically and emotionally, at the risk of understatement. The healing process is often prolonged, and the stress of frequent visits to medical facilities can become not only constant but overwhelming. At West Coast Wound Care, we can provide a better way. 

Here, we take a comprehensive approach to wound care by combining evidence-based practices with cutting-edge technology, all tailored to meet your individual needs. Our goal is to provide the wound care you deserve, in a way that minimizes the hassle of traditional treatment methods.

Our founders recognized a significant gap in traditional wound care delivery while working in medical facilities. Time and again, patients would come in for treatment, only to return repeatedly for the same issues. These facilities, while offering treatment, often lacked any form of lasting care strategy or patient education. Patients were released without the knowledge or tools to properly manage their wounds at home, leading to a cycle of recurring appointments and trips to the hospital.

Medical facilities primarily offered one solution: come back for more wound care. While this approach sometimes addressed immediate concerns, it failed to provide long-term results or relief for the patients and their families. That cycle of dependency on healthcare facilities can be frustrating and emotionally draining.

Our founders knew that there had to be a better approach. So, they opened a wound care facility right here in Northridge. This facility was specifically designed to provide a higher caliber of care for the surrounding area.

At West Coast Wound Care, we understand that each patient is unique, and we take a personalized approach to treatment. Even if the specific condition you or a loved one is dealing with isn’t mentioned here, that doesn’t mean we can’t help. We encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation with us. During this appointment, we’ll discuss your specific needs and how we can provide the quality care you deserve.

Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and we’re here to make sure that you or your loved ones receive the most effective treatment. Indeed, one of the core values at West Coast Wound Care is to make complex wound care simpler and more accessible. Our goal is not only to heal wounds but to reduce or even eliminate the need for patients to make frequent trips to hospitals or acute care facilities. 

This patient-centered approach allows us to create a more individualized treatment plan, ensuring that your care fits into your life, not the other way around.

Cuts, lacerations, punctures, and other traumatic wounds can often be severe and require immediate care. Whether your injury is the result of an accident, a fall, a bite, or anything else, our team is here to help. We ensure that these wounds are treated properly, reducing the risk of infection and promoting healing, so that you can focus on recovery.

Post-Surgical Wound Care

One of the most common types of wounds we treat are post-surgical wounds. After undergoing surgery, your body needs to heal, and proper wound care plays a critical role in that process. We understand how fragile these wounds can be, and our specialists work to ensure that your recovery period is as short and smooth as possible. 

With our treatment, we aim to prevent infections, reduce scarring, and promote faster healing so that you can return to your daily routine in a more timely manner.

Malignant and Cellulitis Wounds

We also offer care for more complex conditions, such as malignant wounds. These wounds can be particularly challenging, as they are often the result of cancerous growths that invade both the skin and underlying blood vessels. 

Cellulitis is another serious condition we treat. A bacterial infection that penetrates deep into the skin, cellulitis requires prompt and effective intervention to prevent the infection from spreading. We understand the severity of this condition and provide the necessary care to stop it in its tracks while alleviating the associated discomfort.

Our team is trained to address these conditions with the attention and precision they require, utilizing modern techniques and the latest medical advancements.

Ulcers

Ulcers are another condition many of our patients seek treatment for. At West Coast Wound Care, we specialize in the treatment of various types of ulcers, including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers, and venous ulcers. These types of ulcers can often be difficult to manage without proper care, which is why our team uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to treat them. 

Beyond technology, though, we believe in the power of compassionate care. Ulcers can be painful and distressing, and we approach each patient with the understanding and empathy they deserve.

Tumors, Infections, and Inflammatory Disorders

Our expertise isn’t limited to the wound care listed above. We also provide effective treatment for a range of skin-related conditions. For instance, we are experienced in treating basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, keratoacanthoma, and seborrheic keratosis. 

In terms of infections, we offer care for conditions like herpes zoster (shingles), herpes simplex, staph infections, scabies, and tinea. These infections can be highly contagious and painful, but our team is skilled in managing them with both sensitivity and effectiveness.

Inflammatory skin disorders are another area where we provide expert care. We treat conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, intertrigo, psoriasis, and rosacea. These disorders can be persistent and uncomfortable, but with the right treatment, we can help you manage and alleviate their symptoms.

While we specialize in wound care and related conditions, our services extend to treating other skin issues as well. For example, we’ve successfully helped patients with drug reactions, heat rash, sun damage, skin atrophy, and even dry, itchy skin.

Our team works closely with each patient to provide the appropriate treatment while focusing on their comfort and overall well-being.

At West Coast Wound Care, we understand that every wound is unique and requires specialized care. That’s why our wound care specialists perform a comprehensive analysis before administering any treatment to ensure that you or your loved ones receive the most appropriate and effective care. Our approach is tailored to each patient’s individual needs, focusing on providing the best treatment for optimal healing.

Many of our patients benefit from surgical debridement, one of the most common treatments we offer. This procedure involves carefully removing damaged tissue from the wound to prevent further deterioration and reduce the risk of infection. Our team uses the latest advancements in medical technology to perform this treatment with precision, helping to facilitate faster recovery.

For some patients, the focus isn’t on removing tissue but rather promoting healing through a transplant. That’s where skin grafting comes in. By using skin grafts, we help to regenerate blood vessels and encourage healing in the affected area. This not only aids in the recovery of the wound itself but also contributes to the patient’s overall health and well-being.

Another innovative treatment we offer is wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy. This method creates suction around the wound after it has been dressed and treated, removing excess fluid and gently bringing the wound edges together. Wound VAC therapy helps speed up the healing process by promoting the growth of healthy tissue, reducing the size of the wound, and minimizing the chances of infection.

These are just a few examples of the advanced wound care treatments we provide that could help you and yours.

Treating wounds effectively requires more than just addressing the physical damage. At West Coast Wound Care, we believe in a holistic approach to patient care that treats the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Your overall health plays a crucial role in wound healing, which is why we work to address the underlying causes of the wound while providing the necessary treatments.

Our specialists consider both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that could be influencing your recovery. While the surgical aspects of wound care are important, we also take into account your nutritional needs, physical mobility, and general well-being. By working closely with your nutritionist, physical therapist, and other healthcare providers, we ensure that your treatment plan is comprehensive and promotes faster healing.

Education is also a key component of our care. We believe that informed patients are better equipped to manage their recovery, so we make it a point to educate you on every aspect of your wound care. This includes discussing the factors that could be helping or hindering your wound healing, as well as providing detailed instructions on the proper use of wound dressings and other medical tools.

Our goal is to empower you to take an active role in your recovery. Whether we are by your side or not, you’ll have the knowledge and resources to care for your wound effectively. We are always here to support you, not only during treatment but also in between visits, ensuring that you receive the care you need when you need it.
