For those with diabetes or poor circulation, an injury or wound to the legs and feet can be slow to heal.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a well established treatment that involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helps the blood carry more oxygen to a wound site or injured tissue, speeding the healing process. As part of the Capital Health Center for Wound Management, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of many options for patients with chronic non-healing wounds.
