Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy
It's
essential to seek medical care since these types of wounds can become a
serious threat to life and limb if they are not taken care of by trained
medical professionals. Our outpatient center has a multi-disciplinary team
of physician specialists, podiatrists, registered nurses, certified medical
assistants, certified hyperbaric technologists, nutritionists and home health
workers dedicated to the treatment of difficult wounds.
Hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is an important form of therapy used to assist in the healing
of various hard-to-heal wounds. With this state-of-the-art technology, you'll
be able to breathe pure oxygen inside of a pressurized chamber, which accelerates
the healing of wounds and is effective in fighting certain types of infections.
Patients are monitored closely during treatment while a sophisticated tracking
system is used to record the healing progress.
Our
goal is to educate you on underlying causes of wounds, thereby minimizing
recurrence in order to improve your quality of life and reduce the risk
of amputation.
