dr. with patient in hyperbaric chamberHyperbaric oxygen therapy is an effective way to help the body repair wounds and fight infection.

During this therapy, a patient breathes pure oxygen for a short time while cradled in a special chamber pressurized to greater than sea level. This allows greater amounts of oxygen to be dissolved in the bloodstream and carried to body tissues in amounts large enough to improve healing.

There is no discomfort, and patients can rest, watch TV, or sleep while they receive this care.

For further details, please read our Frequently Asked Questions.
