Wound care and oxygen chamber services
Overview
The human body has a remarkable ability to heal. However, sometimes wounds will not heal on their own. People of all ages can suffer from non-healing wounds. Diabetes, infection, poor circulation, and other issues can delay healing and recovery.

Oxygen chamber therapy
Oxygen chamber therapy, also called hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), is an adjunctive treatment. You breathe 100% oxygen while enclosed in a pressurized chamber at a pressure greater than normal atmospheric pressure. While breathing pure oxygen, your blood plasma becomes saturated, carrying 15 to 20 times the normal amount of oxygen to the body's tissues.
Hyperbaric therapy is well known for treating underwater diving accidents. It also offers healing benefits for other approved medical conditions.
Our hyperbaric medicine doctors work closely with your primary care provider to coordinate care that meets your needs. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works best as part of a total care program. Good nutrition and daily wound care help achieve optimal healing results.
