Breathing Life into healing with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

At AccessCare we are proud to bring the healing benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to Western New York. HBOT is a groundbreaking treatment that administers 100& pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, to promote healing for hard-to-heal wounds. From diabetic ulcers to bone infections, this innovative therapy has shown remarkable effectiveness for a variety of conditions, including reducing the risks of amputations. Explore how we are reshaping the healing process, offering hope and tangible results for those seeking accelerated recovery and enhanced quality of life. AccessCare is your destination for advanced healing.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is highly beneficial for patients undergoing wound care. At AccessCare, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of our comprehensive wound care treatment to provide you with the best outcomes possible. Such benefits include:

  • Promoting wound healing
  • Speeds up the wound healing process
  • Improving and repairing injury, by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues
  • Improving infection control
  • Helping in new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis)
  • Increasing the production of collagen
  • Reduces swelling and discomfort
  • Improving perfusion (blood flow) to the affected area
  • Helps promote new skin tissue growth
  • Encourages capillary growth
  • Kills bacteria
  • Decreasing markers of inflammation in the body
  • Reducing the effects of decompression illness; HBOT was first utilized medically for this condition

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works by delivering 100% pure, medical-grade, oxygen to the body, while the patient lays inside a hard-shell pressurized chamber

Under these increased atmospheric pressures, the body can absorb significantly higher levels of oxygen than normal. This oxygen-rich environment enhances the body's natural healing processes in several ways. First by promoting the formation of new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis, which increases blood flow to the affected area. This improved circulation helps to deliver more oxygen and vital nutrients to damaged tissues, aiding in their repair. All the while, boosting the body's natural ability to fight infection by enhancing the effectiveness of white blood cells and assisting in the removal of harmful bacteria and toxins. Overall, this creates the perfect environment for healing, making it particularly effective for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, bone infections, and other conditions where healing is difficult.

There are several specific types of chronic wound conditions that can benefit from HBOT. 

  • Diabetic wounds of the lower extremities 
  • Late Effects of Radiation
  • Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
  • Chronic compromised skin grafts/skin flaps
  • Non-Healing Wounds
  • Chronic refractory osteomyelitis (bone infection)
  • Osteoradionecrosis (bone injury)
  • Soft tissue radionecrosis
