How We Help You Heal

Our team thoroughly assesses your wound and health history using advanced technology to create a personalized treatment plan while keeping your physician informed with ongoing updates.

Advanced treatments we offer:  

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – Patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment to boost healing, fight infection, and improve circulation
  • Offloading & Compression – Techniques such as total contact casting to relieve pressure on wounds, especially for diabetic foot ulcers
  • Tissue Growth Therapy – Using skin substitutes to help regrow healthy tissue
  • Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Wound Vacuum) – A treatment that uses gentle suction to remove excess fluid, reduce swelling, and help wounds heal faster
  • Wound Debridement – Removing dead tissue to create a healthy healing environment
