There are numerous medical conditions that cause non-healing wounds – these are non-responsive to traditional wound care treatments and require advanced treatments such as hyperbaric medicine.
At any given time, almost six million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Many are associated with complications from diabetes and vascular disorders, as well as pressure sores and traumatic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment for these problematic wounds, and is a procedure in which a patient inhales 100% oxygen which flows through the bloodstream and facilitates healing from the inside out.
Our wound care team is highly experienced in hyperbaric medicine as a method of wound care, and is available to speak to you about questions or concerns.
