HyOx Medical Treatment Center administers hyperbaric oxygen therapy with the end result in mind: healing. Knowing chronic conditions and injuries take their toll on quality of life, HyOx takes life’s key ingredient — oxygen (O2) — and prescribes it as a drug with a customized treatment protocol designed for each patient. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy used as an adjunctive therapy can:
- Accelerate healing of chronic wounds
- Reduce blood flow into normal tissue while keeping it well oxygenated (decrease swelling)
- Help fight infection and certain antibiotics to work more effectively
- Encourage growth of new blood vessels in hypoxic tissues
- Decrease the risk of complications prior to and following certain surgeries
- Speed the recovery of soft tissues and bones affected by radiation therapy
- Reduce the incidence of amputation in diabetic patients with lower extremity wounds
