Pressure mapping?

I have been getting pressure mapping done at the University of Virginia hospital for the last several years. This year I suspect I am having a pressure problem and would like to get in sooner. Does anybody know of another hospital or clinic in the VA, NC, WV, MD area?

Lone Beagle,

Listed below is contact information for a wound care specialist here in WV, who may assist you with what pressure mapping systems are available in our health system. I've personally dealt with this lady and have found her to be very resourceful. Best of luck to you, Sir.

Diane Eskra
Weirton Medical Wound Care Center
601 Colliers Way
Floor 1
Weirton, WV 26062-5014
Phone: (304) 797-6614
Website: www.weirtonmedical.com

BTW: For several years prior to my accident, I lived about an hour east of Christiansburg, while working in the Carillion Health System. Absolutely loved the culture of your town. Hope to one day make a move back to your great state.

I've only had pressure mapping done once and decided it would be worthwhile ( 3hr. drive) to try Woodrow Wilson for chair RX. I was very pleased with pressure mapping and staff there.
good luck
