Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine.
We are all about Healing
Using the most advanced wound healing techniques including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we can achieve excellent outcomes in a very high percentage of our patients.
Nearly five million Americans each year suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Wounds may be caused by:
- diabetes
- poor circulation
- peripheral artery disease
- traumatic injury
- radiation therapy
- and other causes
These non-healing wounds occur when the level of oxygen in and around the wound drops below a certain level and the body's normal healing process and ability to fight infection become impaired. Chronic wounds such as these require specialized wound care and sometimes hyperbaric therapy treatment.
At the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center - Murrieta, we use a multidisciplinary approach customized to fit each patient's medical needs. The center has four oversized hyperbaric oxygen chambers equipped with the latest technology that allows our medical team to control the pressure and temperature as well as provide communication and entertainment during treatment.

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?
Typically, a hyperbaric oxygen treatment involves 90 minutes at the prescribed treatment pressure, plus the time required to pressurize and depressurize the chamber. Each hyperbaric chamber is equipped with an entertainment unit so that patients can watch movies during treatment to help pass the time.
