If you have bed sores or are susceptible to getting them, you may have a team of health care professionals that work with you. Nurses, physical therapists, and your primary care doctor can all play a part in prevention and treatment. If a bed sore requires surgical intervention, you may be referred for surgical care, including orthopedic and plastic surgery.
