Wound Healing

At the Saint Joseph Wound Healing Center, a team of physicians, nurses and therapists, all specially trained in wound care, collaborate to provide advanced treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds. Our skilled professionals use a unique multi-disciplinary approach that is ideal for wounds that have not responded to or resisted traditional means of healing.

Wounds We Treat

• Diabetic Ulcers
• Vascular Insufficiency
• Gangrene/Necrosis
• Post-Surgical Infection
• Cellulitis
• Bed Sores
• Burns
• Osteomyelitis
• Lymphedema
• Crush Injuries

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Our services include Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a safe, effective and painless method used to treat wounds that may not respond well to other therapies alone. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered to a patient inside a clear acrylic chamber. The benefit of hyperbaric oxygen is a combined result of increased circulating oxygen and the effects of increased pressure inside the chamber. The result is:

• Increased oxygen delivery to tissues
• New blood vessel growth
• Improved wound healing
• Control of infection
• Decreased swelling
