Treatment for Chronic Wounds
Our treatments are personalized to support your healing and may include:
- Removal of unhealthy tissue to help healthy tissue combat infection
- Improving blood flow and enhancing vein support
- Reducing swelling by removing excess fluid from wound site
- Increasing oxygen in the bloodstream to promote natural healing
- Reducing weight-bearing pressure on the affected area
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
To help in your healing, those who meet criteria may be referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a simple but effective treatment in which you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The chamber has clear sides through which you can see your surroundings. It is in a comfortable treatment room equipped with television and videos.
The therapy quickly and safely delivers high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream, which helps increase your body’s own natural wound-healing abilities.
