We provide all medical and surgical treatment for healing chronic wounds. In addition, we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy to patients who quality.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps the body’s oxygen-dependent, wound-healing mechanisms function more efficiently. While enclosed in a chamber at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, patients breathe pure oxygen, saturating their blood plasma and allowing it to carry 15 to 20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body’s tissues. Up to 18 percent of wound care patients undergo these treatments.
Please check with your insurance provider before scheduling an appointment with us, to make sure hyperbaric oxygen therapy is covered for your condition.
