Time doesn't heal all wounds
If you have a wound that has not improved in two weeks or is not healing after one month, you need specialized care.
Our bodies do not always heal quickly and routinely—healing is a complicated process. If a wound hasn't healed after four weeks of standard medical care, we consider it a problem wound that needs special attention.
Freeman Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine can effectively treat many types of wounds, including:
- Diabetic wounds
- Pressure ulcers
- Gas gangrene
- Bone infection
- Radiation burns
- Crush injuries
- Decompression illness
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Compromised skin flap or graft
- Cerebral air or gas embolism
- Burns
Hyperbaric medicine helps the body repair wounds and fight infection. Patients breathe pure oxygen while cradled in a special pressurized chamber. This improves healing by allowing greater amounts of oxygen to dissolve in the blood stream and reach body tissues. There is no discomfort and patients can rest, watch TV, or sleep while receiving this care.
