Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds in Sherman Oaks& Calabasas

Chronic non-healing wounds cansignificantly impact quality of life and increase the risk of infection,hospitalization, and limb loss. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medically recognized treatment used to support wound healing when standard treatments have not been sufficient.

At OxygenWell, we provide medical-gradeHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for patients with chronic non-healing wounds,serving the Sherman Oaks and Calabasas communities with evidence-basedcare aligned with FDA and UHMS guidelines when applicable.

What Are Chronic Non-Healing Wounds?

A chronic non-healing wound is a woundthat fails to progress through the normal stages of healing within an expectedtimeframe, typically lasting longer than 30 days despite appropriate care.These wounds are often associated withunderlying conditions that impair circulation, oxygen delivery, or immuneresponse.

Venous stasis ulcers

Pressure ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers

Traumatic wounds with compromised blood flow

Surgical wounds that fail to heal

Arterial ulcers

Why Wounds Fail to Heal

Normal wound healing depends onsufficient oxygen delivery to damaged tissues. In chronic wounds, healing isoften impaired due to:

Poor circulation or vascular disease
Diabetes-related microvascular damage
Chronic inflammation
Tissue hypoxia (low oxygen levels)
Infection or biofilm formation
Repeated trauma or pressure

When oxygen delivery is compromised, the body cannot effectively repair tissue, fight infection, or generate new blood vessels.

How HyperbaricOxygen Therapy Helps Chronic Wounds

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involvesbreathing 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This significantlyincreases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream, allowing oxygen toreach tissues with limited blood flow.
For chronic non-healing wounds, HBOT maysupport healing by:

Increasing oxygen delivery to hypoxic (low-oxygen) tissues

Stimulating angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

Enhancing collagen production and tissue repair

Reducing inflammation and edema

Supporting white blood cell function to help fight infection

Supporting white blood cellfunction to help fight infection

These effects help create an environment where chronic wounds can begin to heal.
