Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Spark Wound Care
At Spark Wound Care, we believe that accurate wound assessment is the cornerstone of effective wound management. A thorough evaluation by our specialists is the first step in developing a personalized treatment plan that optimizes healing outcomes.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works by increasing the oxygen concentration in your bloodstream. In a hyperbaric chamber, you breathe 100% oxygen at pressures up to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This helps oxygen dissolve into your blood plasma, tissues, and fluids more efficiently, even in areas where blood flow may be compromised due to injury, infection, or other conditions.
By boosting oxygen levels, HBOT promotes the formation of new blood vessels, enhances tissue regeneration, and strengthens the immune system’s ability to fight off infection. These combined effects can significantly improve healing outcomes for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation injuries, and other difficult-to-treat conditions.
Conditions Treated with
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
HBOT is a versatile therapy that can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, particularly those
Diabetic Ulcers:
For patients with diabetes, HBOT helps improve circulation and oxygen delivery to ulcerated areas, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
Chronic Non-Healing Wounds:
Wounds that fail to heal after standard treatments can benefit from the increased oxygen levels provided by HBOT, which stimulates new tissue growth and reduces inflammation.
Radiation Injuries:
Patients who have undergone radiation therapy may experience damage to soft tissues or bones. HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to these areas, helping repair radiation-induced injuries.
Pressure Ulcers:
Bedsores and pressure ulcers are common in patients with limited mobility. HBOT can accelerate the healing of these ulcers by increasing oxygen supply to damaged tissues.
Infected Wounds:
Oxygen-rich environments created by HBOT enhance the body’s immune response and aid in eliminating harmful bacteria in infected wounds.
What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
During an HBOT session, you will be placed in a comfortable, pressurized chamber where you will breathe 100% oxygen. The treatment typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your condition. The therapy is painless, and many patients find it relaxing—some even take the opportunity to rest during their session.
The number of treatments you need will depend on your specific condition and how your body responds to the therapy. Our experienced team will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Enhanced Healing:
By delivering more oxygen to your tissues, HBOT accelerates the body’s natural healing process, improving wound closure rates and reducing the likelihood of complications.
Reduced Inflammation:
HBOT helps decrease swelling and inflammation, making it particularly beneficial for conditions that involve chronic inflammation or poor circulation.
Infection Control:
The high oxygen levels in the bloodstream strengthen your immune system and can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of infections in complex wounds.
Improved Tissue Repair:
HBOT encourages the formation of new blood vessels and supports tissue regeneration, which is crucial for wound healing, especially in areas with limited blood flow.
