When a wound just won’t heal — despite time, medication, or standard care — it’s a sign your body may need additional support. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we’re proud to offer wound healing oxygen therapy in Kennesaw, GA, a proven treatment that gives your body the oxygen boost it needs to accelerate healing from the inside out.
Wound healing oxygen therapy, also known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal wounds. It’s not experimental — it’s FDA-approved for several types of slow-healing or complex wounds, especially those caused by diabetes, radiation therapy, or poor circulation.
Oxygen is essential for virtually every stage of wound healing. From fighting bacteria to forming new blood vessels and producing collagen, your body simply can’t repair itself without adequate oxygen. When a wound is starved of oxygen — due to diabetes, vascular issues, or infection — healing stalls and complications rise.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we’re committed to “Optimally Restoring Your Quality of Life” through the most effective, least invasive treatments available. That means no unnecessary surgeries, no overuse of medications, and no one-size-fits-all solutions.
Wound healing oxygen therapy is a perfect example of this philosophy. It leverages your body’s natural healing potential using something as simple and powerful as oxygen — all under the guidance of our experienced medical team.
If you’re dealing with a wound that just won’t heal, or if you’ve been told surgery is your only option, we invite you to explore how oxygen therapy in Kennesaw could help you heal — faster, safer, and more naturally.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen in a specially pressurized chamber, allowing your lungs and bloodstream to absorb far more oxygen than under normal conditions. This therapeutic boost provides critical oxygen to damaged, inflamed, or infected tissues — helping wounds heal when the body can’t do it alone.
In a healthy body, wounds heal through a cascade of biological processes — blood flow increases to the area, white blood cells fight infection, new tissues and blood vessels form, and eventually the skin is restored. But when oxygen supply is restricted (due to diabetes, vascular disease, infection, or prior radiation), this healing process can break down.
HBOT corrects this by flooding the bloodstream and tissues with oxygen, even in areas where circulation is poor or blocked. That oxygen:
The healing potential of HBOT is rooted in well-established scientific mechanisms:
One of the most frequent and dangerous complications of diabetes, foot ulcers can quickly worsen due to poor circulation and reduced immune response. HBOT helps by:
For patients with limited mobility, prolonged pressure on the skin can lead to deep wounds that resist healing. Oxygen therapy increases blood supply to the affected area and helps reduce the risk of further tissue breakdown or infection.
Patients who have undergone radiation therapy for cancer may experience long-term damage to skin, muscles, and internal tissues. HBOT promotes the regrowth of blood vessels and repairs oxygen-starved tissue — often reversing damage caused months or years after treatment.
Sometimes surgical incisions don’t heal as expected, especially in patients with vascular disease, diabetes, or immune system challenges. HBOT can stimulate rapid healing, reduce the risk of infection, and restore tissue integrity where normal recovery has stalled.
Serious trauma can cause widespread tissue damage, swelling, and poor circulation — all of which impair healing. Oxygen therapy can:
When a skin graft or surgical flap shows signs of insufficient oxygenation or tissue death, HBOT can help salvage the graft by restoring blood flow and oxygen supply — improving the chances of a successful recovery.
Certain bacteria thrive in low-oxygen environments, making it harder for the body to fight off infection. HBOT creates an oxygen-rich, hostile environment for bacteria, while simultaneously boosting immune function and promoting the removal of necrotic (dead) tissue.
Each HBOT session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. During this time, you'll lie comfortably in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber where you’ll breathe in 100% medical-grade oxygen.
You’ll feel a gentle increase in pressure—similar to what you might experience during a flight or a deep dive—but the process is completely non-invasive and pain-free. Most patients report feeling relaxed, and many use the time to rest, listen to music, or simply unwind.
Wound healing is a gradual process, and oxygen therapy works best when delivered consistently. Most patients require a series of 20 to 40 sessions, scheduled over the course of several weeks.
Your physician will create a customized treatment plan based on the type, location, and severity of your wound — along with your overall health and response to initial treatments.
At Medici, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your progress will be closely monitored throughout your treatment course:
Your HBOT sessions will be conducted by licensed and certified hyperbaric technicians, with direct oversight from our board-certified physicians who specialize in wound care and regenerative therapies.
You’ll be in constant communication with our staff during your session, and a clinician is always nearby to answer questions or assist as needed.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is considered extremely safe, especially when administered by trained medical professionals. To ensure your comfort and safety, we provide:
When wounds won’t heal, they don’t just affect your skin — they impact your comfort, mobility, and peace of mind. Fortunately, there’s hope. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has helped thousands of patients jumpstart the healing process by delivering what damaged tissue needs most: oxygen.
