If you get a cut or scratch, an adhesive bandage and a little TLC usually does the trick. But if you have a wound that won’t heal because of blood flow problems, infection, diabetes or poor nutrition, you need specialized care that’s close to home.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

When you have a wound, you want the fastest possible healing. That’s why we proudly offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT is an advanced medical therapy that accelerates the healing of wounds and other conditions, such as:

• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis for bone infections
• Compromised skin grafts/flaps to close or cover wounds
• Diabetic wounds of the lower extremities
• Soft tissue radionecrosis for people who’ve had skin damage from radiation therapy

With HBOT treatments, you'll breathe 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, which helps to treat wound infections and accelerate the healing process. The treatment is painless, but the first few minutes of treatment may feel similar to being in an airplane and experiencing a slight pressure in your ears. After that, you can relax, sleep or watch television for the rest of your treatment. 

The average HBOT treatment last about two hours and are usually prescribed for 20 days (Monday through Friday).

HBOT can be used along with other advanced therapies and wound healing treatments.
