Southcoast Health is proud to say that we are the first wound care center in the South Coast region to offer hyperbaric medicine treatment.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment, or HBOT, is a treatment where the patient breathes 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The treatment quickly delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream, assists in the healing process of wounds and is effective in fighting certain types of infection. It also stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and improves circulation.
Southcoast Wound Care Center uses hyperbaric oxygen treatment in Fall River, MA to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Once you are comfortably positioned inside the hyperbaric chamber, the pressure will gradually be increased and the temperature will temporarily rise. You may experience fullness in your ears as a result of the increased pressure. The technician will instruct you in ways to help clear the pressure and relieve any discomfort.
