A patient's individualized treatment plan may include:

- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment where patients breathe pure oxygen at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure, saturating the blood allowing it to carry 15-20 times the normal amount of healing oxygen to the body's tissue. The chamber has clear sides which helps patients see their surroundings and enables them to watch TV and videos.

Our health care team also includes specially trained nurses and hyperbaric technicians who utilize a best practice clinical model to offer nutritional assessments and counseling, diabetic teaching, and special needs for pressure relief including seat cushions, footwear, and casting.
