HBOT for Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Non-Healing Wounds in Charlottesville, VA

HBOT for Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Non-Healing Wounds

Chronic and non-healing wounds can significantly impact quality of life and increase the risk of serious complications. At Charlottesville Hyperbarics, we offer hospital-grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in a calm, non-hospital environment to support patients managing complex wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds that have not responded to conventional care.

Our approach emphasizes safety, education, and coordination with your existing medical providers.

Understanding Non-Healing & Chronic Wounds

A wound may be considered non-healing or chronic when it does not progress through normal stages of healing. Common contributing factors include:

Diabetes and impaired circulation
Reduced oxygen delivery to the tissue
Infection or inflammation
Prior radiation or surgical trauma
Vascular or neurological conditions

Diabetic foot ulcers, in particular, can be challenging due to poor blood flow, nerve damage, and reduced immune response.

How HBOT Supports Wound Healing

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Under these conditions, oxygen dissolves more effectively into the bloodstream and tissues. This increased oxygen availability may support:

Improved oxygen delivery to compromised tissue
Support of the body’s natural wound-healing processes
Reduction of tissue swelling
Support for infection management when used alongside medical care

HBOT is not a replacement for wound care, but is used as part of a broader, physician-guided treatment plan.

Wound Types Commonly Referred for HBOT

Patients may be referred for HBOT support for:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Non-healing surgical wounds
Chronic ulcers with poor circulation
Compromised grafts or flaps
Radiation-associated tissue injury

All treatment recommendations are determined through medical review and physician oversight.
