Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most stubborn wounds clinicians treat. Poor circulation, elevated blood sugar, and nerve damage can all slow the body's natural repair process.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) places you in a pressurized chamber where you breathe 100% oxygen. That extra oxygen dissolves into the plasma and reaches tissues that are struggling to heal.
For many patients with qualifying diabetic wounds, HBOT can support new blood vessel growth, strengthen the immune response against infection, and reduce swelling around the wound.
At Andrea Hyperbaric Wound Care & Health Center in Ozone Park, Dr. Mary Andrea evaluates each wound carefully and builds a plan that may include advanced wound care, offloading, and HBOT when appropriate.
If a diabetic foot ulcer is not improving, do not wait. Early specialized care can help protect mobility and reduce the risk of serious complications.
