When a wound doesn’t heal or a condition lingers, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help. This treatment boosts oxygen in your bloodstream, supporting faster healing and lowering infection risk.
At WMCHealth, hyperbaric chambers are part of our full wound care services. Our specialists will care for you using proven, noninvasive treatments. This can help you heal without added procedures, hospital stays, or long recovery times.
What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Your care team will explain every step before treatment begins. Sessions last between 90 and 120 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- You’ll lie comfortably inside a clear chamber.
- The chamber slowly fills with pure oxygen under pressure.
- You may feel pressure in your ears, similar to when flying in an airplane.
- Specialists will monitor you closely throughout treatment.
Most people return home the same day and continue normal activities.
Team-based Wound Care
Your hyperbaric therapy is one part of a larger healing plan. Physicians, podiatrists, vascular specialists, and infectious disease experts may all be involved. This teamwork ensures your care is connected, coordinated, and built around your recovery.
