Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a medical treatment prescribed by a doctor to enhance the body’s ability to heal. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you breathe 100% pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. The pressure inside this chamber is about two and a half times greater than the normal pressure in the atmosphere.
This high pressure environment allows your blood to carry more oxygen to all parts of your body to repair injured tissue. HBO therapy also helps to fight certain infections, such as those that occur in the bone.
The Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center at MLK Community Healthcare is dedicated to your wound healing through specialized care. We are a comprehensive center featuring state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a multi-disciplinary care team, individualized care plans for your needs, and an integrated model with your doctor.
We are a specialized outpatient wound care treatment center dedicated to the care of patients with wounds.
Wounds that are hard-to-heal and/or non-healing may be a result of pressure, trauma or infection. Sometimes, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment.
Since non-healing wounds rarely result from a single cause, we treat the whole person, not just the wound. Our team of experienced wound care specialists will assess your symptoms, determine the underlying cause of your non- healing wound and customize the most effective treatment plan to stimulate healing.
