Advanced wound healing with hyperbaric oxygen therapy
The hyperbaric chamber is a painless environment that delivers oxygen-rich therapy to promote wound healing. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, concentrated oxygen quickly enters your bloodstream and helps heal the wound from the inside out. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment for many conditions, including certain diabetic foot ulcers and slow-healing wounds.
Our care team takes the time to answer your questions and explain how hyperbaric oxygen therapy heals your wound. For questions or to schedule an appointment, call 414-259-7590.
