Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge treatment offered at Local Wound Care of Glendale, playing a significant role in our comprehensive wound care services. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, a method proven to accelerate wound healing, particularly in complex and non-healing wounds.
The Science Behind HBOT
HBOT works by increasing the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood. This heightened oxygen level:
- Enhances the body’s natural healing processes.
- Fights bacteria and reduces inflammation.
- Promotes the formation of new blood vessels in the wound area.
- Increases the delivery of oxygen to tissues with compromised blood flow.

At Local Wound Care of Glendale, we recognize that HBOT is especially effective for:
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Venous and Arterial Ulcers
