Hyperbaric Medicine
Western Arizona Regional Medical Center's hyperbaric medicine treatment options surround patients with difficult wounds with 100% oxygen in a comfortable, pressurized chamber. This saturation promotes the body’s natural immune system and healing responses, allowing wounds to heal more easily, from the inside out.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments are beneficial for patients who have certain types of complicated or slow-healing wounds, such as bone infections or diabetic foot ulcers. The treatments work in conjunction with other treatments, such as antibiotics, to accelerate the healing process.
Your doctor can determine whether this therapy is right for you. A typical treatment usually takes less than two hours to complete and is ordered daily, Monday through Friday.
