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 has not 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 these types of wounds
- 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 breath 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.
Freeman Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine offers these services:
- Evaluation and wound assessment
- Complete evaluation and medical history
- Continuity of care
- Exam by a wound care/hyperbaric physician
- Individualized treatment plan
