    Compression therapy uses short-stretch bandages and prescription compression stockings to improve circulation and heal wounds to the legs.

     

    Some non-healing wounds may benefit from this process to remove tissue and reduce bacteria at the wound site. Our team uses advanced debridement tools and techniques, both which promote faster healing. Surgical intervention may sometimes be needed to stop the spread of osteomyelitis, an infection caused by an open wound over a bone.

     

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. The patient breathes the chamber’s pure oxygen – approximately two and a half times greater than normal atmospheric pressure – which then circulates to their organs and tissues. The result is faster and more efficient healing.

     

    Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to foot ulcers. Our Advanced Wound Care team fits patients with specialty shoes, boots, insoles, and socks designed to heal ulcers by reducing pressure on the feet.
