Indications for Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy Treatment
We provide specialized treatment of complicated, non-healing wounds of any kind. Our goal is to heal wounds, promote early recovery, prevent hospitalization, avoid prolonged or permanent disability and amputations restoring your quality of life through individualized treatment plans. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an effective tretment for a variety of health issues from diabetic foot ulcers, to effects from radiation treatment, and many other conditions. The process boosts oxygen to vital tissues, speeding up healing. It tackles the tough challenges these wounds present, enhancing recovery. HBOT supports those with radiation treatment side effects as well, aiding in tissue repair.
We also provide treatment for grafts and flaps before and after plastic surgery. This treatment helps to decrease pain, swelling, gives better cosmetic results and improves survival of the grafts/flaps (this service may not be covered by Alberta Healthcare insurance plan, and it would be explained during the initial consultation).
