Advanced, specialized treatment for serious wounds
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes and accelerates healing by enabling
large amounts of oxygen to be dissolved into the blood and tissues. By
receiving 100% oxygen in state-of-the-art pressurized chambers, patients
benefit immediately from the therapeutic effects of higher tissue oxygen levels.
Who Will Benefit from Hyperbaric Medicine?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps individuals with a variety of conditions
by revitalizing tissues that receive poor blood flow and promoting the
growth of new blood vessels and tissue.
Our physician-led team of specialists evaluates each patient to determine
whether they will benefit from hyperbaric oxygen and, if so, the duration
of treatments needed to yield optimal results. Our comprehensive evaluation
and treatment process aims to achieve successful wound healing and prevent
amputations.
Our team includes:
Physician specializing in hyperbaric medicine
Certified hyperbaric technician
Registered nurse
Licensed vocational nurse
Other physician specialists as needed
At our Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center, patients benefit from:
Thorough consultation by a physician specialist
Objective measurement of tissue oxygenation
Ongoing assessment of response to hyperbaric therapy
Education about hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Referrals for appropriate diagnostic tests and complementary therapies
Additional wound care services, if appropriate
What Does It Feel Like Inside the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?
The first few minutes of hyperbaric treatment feel very much like the pressure
changes experienced on a plane during landing. Yawning, swallowing, or
pinching and blowing the nose will alleviate ear pressure. The rest of
the time, patients can simply relax and enjoy listening to music or watching
their favorite programs on an individual television.
We Collaborate With Primary Care Physicians
Our team works with primary care physicians to help establish a diagnosis
and treatment plan, as well as recommend ways to improve or maintain function.
We welcome primary care physicians to participate in the assessment process,
or we can provide the referring doctor with the results and a recommended
care plan. We accept most insurance providers, including Medicare.
