Wounds (Non-Healing, Especially Diabetic Ulcers)
Chronic, non-healing wounds—particularly diabetic foot ulcers—are among the most common and challenging complications in patients with poor circulation, neuropathy, or immune suppression. When wounds fail to close after weeks of standard care, they can become infected, painful, and eventually lead to limb loss.
How HBOT Promotes Wound Healing
At Under Pressure, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) plays a key role in healing stubborn wounds by addressing the root problem: lack of oxygen in the tissue. HBOT:
- Delivers high concentrations of oxygen directly to wound sites with impaired blood flow
- Stimulates new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)
- Enhances collagen production and supports the body’s natural healing response
- Boosts white blood cell activity, reducing infection and biofilm formation
- Reduces amputation risk by restoring viability to surrounding tissue
Who Benefits Most from HBOT for Wound Healing?
- Diabetic patients with stage 3 or 4 foot ulcers
- Individuals with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or venous ulcers
- Patients with radiation wounds, pressure ulcers, or post-surgical wounds that won’t heal
- Anyone at risk of amputation due to non-responsive wounds
Why Choose Under Pressure?
We collaborate with podiatrists, wound care centers, and vascular surgeons to develop customized healing plans. Our evidence-based approach includes:
- Routine wound evaluations
- Coordinated debridement and dressing support
- Nutritional and metabolic optimization for best outcomes
The treatment process
Initial consultation
- Wound Evaluation: Our team assesses wound size, depth, infection status, and vascular supply.
- Circulation Screening: Doppler testing or vascular imaging may be reviewed.
- Treatment Plan Development: HBOT is introduced as part of a multi-modal wound healing strategy.
Treatment Process
- During Sessions: You’ll breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber for 60-120 minutes while we target oxygen-starved tissue.
- Frequency: Most chronic wound patients undergo 20–40 sessions over 4–8 weeks.
- Integrated Care: We work in sync with other providers managing your diabetes, circulation, or infections.
Preparing for your HBOT treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Clean and cover the wound prior to arrival.
- Avoid petroleum-based ointments.
- Notify us if you experience fever, increased drainage, or sudden pain.
- Post-Treatment Instructions: Continue dressing protocols and avoid pressure on the wound area between sessions.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT: Patients with untreated infections in surrounding bone or those with certain lung or seizure disorders will be evaluated closely before treatment begins.
Expected Outcomes
- Recovery Timeline: Many patients notice reduced pain and visible healing within 2–3 weeks of beginning therapy.
- Long-Term Benefits: HBOT helps close wounds that have resisted healing for months, reduces the chance of major surgery, and restores mobility and quality of life.
