Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Take advantage of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to help heal your wounds. You’ll benefit from advanced therapy close to home at Nash Wound Care Center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
What Is HBOT?
HBOT helps your body heal naturally by increasing the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream. During HBOT, you’ll breathe 100 percent oxygen while lying in a pressurized chamber. This therapy quickly delivers up to 20 times the normal amount of oxygen to your body. It’s a simple and effective treatment.
Talk to your doctor about whether HBOT is right for your wound care treatment plan.
