It was originally relied upon to treat deep-sea divers with decompression sickness. Medical studies have since shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a highly effective way to promote and accelerate healing and prevent complications. Our Hyperbaric Medicine Center specializes in this treatment for certain illnesses and adjunct care for a variety of conditions. By delivering 100% oxygen in state-of-the-art pressurized chambers, you or a loved one will immediately receive the therapeutic effects of higher oxygen levels.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enables large amounts of oxygen to be dissolved into the blood and tissues. It can help a variety of ailments by revitalizing tissues that receive poor blood flow, and in turn, stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, new tissue and infection-fighting white blood cells.
