Wound Healing Starts Here

For most of us, a minor cut or scrape poses little to no problem. However, for individuals dealing with poor blood circulation from diabetes, severe burns or peripheral vascular disease, a simple cut or scrape can result in serious infection requiring advance wound care therapies.

Having a chronic wound can be painful, expensive and upsetting.

Since most non-healing, chronic wounds involve complications, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach in planning each patient's treatment. We work with you to determine, manage and treat any underlying medical conditions, which will help you to heal faster and more completely.

At Saint Alphonsus, we treat the whole person with an individualized plan that radically speeds the healing of wounds such as:

• Chronic wounds
• Post-surgical wound problems
• Diabetes related wounds
• Tissue damage from trauma
• Burns
• Vascular disorders
• Pressure ulcers
• Infected wounds
• Skin tears
• Wounds related to radiation therapy
• Venous related wounds and ulcers

Hyperbaric Treatment

The Saint Alphonsus Advanced Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine program also specializes in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for patients who have non-healing or complex wounds and other diseases that benefit from pressurized oxygen delivery. If you have chronic diabetes or a wound that will not heal, you may benefit from oxygen therapy. During this type of treatment, you breathe 100 percent oxygen while under pressure in a hyperbaric chamber.
