Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

During hyperbaric oxygen treatment, you’ll relax in a pressurized chamber and breathe a solution of 100% oxygen (in contrast to regular air, which contains just 21 percent oxygen). Because wounds require oxygen to heal, temporarily increasing the amount of oxygen in a patient’s bloodstream can help speed up the process. Heightened oxygen levels can also help you fight off infections more effectively.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to accelerate the healing of a number of conditions, including:

• Decompression sickness experienced by deep-sea divers
• Diabetes and radiation-induced wounds
• Gangrene
• Second and third-degree burns
• Soft tissue infections
• Trauma wounds

Our hyperbaric oxygen treatment is typically administered only after other treatment methods have not produced the desired results, and it can be a safe and effective option for patients who meet certain requirements. Our wound care specialists have more than 40 years of combined experience in the field, and we’re here to help you find the most appropriate therapy for your needs.
