Wound Healing

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Wound Healing in Fayetteville, NC

What Is

Wound Healing

Problem wounds are those which fail to respond to established medical and surgical management. Such wounds usually develop in compromised hosts with multiple local and systemic factors contributing to inhibition of tissue repair. These include diabetic feet, compromised amputation sites, non-healing traumatic wounds, and vascular insufficiency ulcers (ulcers with poor circulation).

All share the common problem of tissue hypoxia (low tissue oxygen level, usually related to impaired circulation). The elevation in tissue oxygen which occurs in the hyperbaric chamber induces significant changes in the wound repair process that promote healing. When hyperbaric treatment is used in conjunction with standard wound care, improved results have been demonstrated in the healing of difficult or limb threatening wounds as compared to routine wound care alone.

Good Service!

“I was in a serious predicament, the ulcers on my legs were so bad I thought I might lose my right leg. When the doctors saw me, they said we can help you and smiled. They helped me, when I go to other clinics and I talk to other people, I talk about the good service I got.”

Absolutely Amazing!

“Great Experience! I was taking my 85-year-old mother to all appointments. I am her medical POA. The staff was absolutely amazing! They not only discussed matters with me but made sure she understood as well.”

Excellent Facility!

“I have suffered for over 20 years with "unknown" illnesses from the Gulf War. I'm a little past halfway through 40 treatments and have already noticed positive changes. Thank you to the wonderful staff for your compassion and excellent facility!”
The Healing Power of Hyperbaric Medicine

HBOT helps white blood cells kill bacteria, and help osteoclast clean up the dead and infected bone. Once the infection is under control and all the dead bone is gone, new bone is laid down by osteoclasts. These processes require high levels of oxygen to function optimally. HBOT also helps antibiotics work better, and in conjunction with some antibiotics, helps eradicate the biofilms that form in many of these cases.

How Long

Does a Hyperbaric Treatment Take?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive medical treatment administered by delivering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than two to three times the normal atmospheric (sea level) pressure to a patient in a chamber. Most HBOT treatments generally take about 2 hours. Treatments for some indications can last up to 4 hours. Serious diving injuries can require a treatment for longer than 5 hours. The hyperbaric physician will determine how long each patient’s HBOT treatment will last.
