Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Therapy to promote healing

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to enhance the healing of wounds, particularly those that are difficult to heal or infected. During treatment, a patient lies in a special pressurized chamber of pure oxygen and breathes normally, which increases the amount of oxygen in the blood.
