Understanding Wound Care
Advanced Healing for Complex Wounds.
When a wound will not close on its own, it needs more than a dressing change. Our Wound Care Center in Huntsville identifies what is blocking healing and treats it, combining current wound management with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and a limb preservation focus.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
We provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for patients with chronic, non-healing wounds, including those caused by diabetes or poor circulation. Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen inside a mono-place chamber pressurized to twice normal atmospheric pressure, so oxygen circulates at much higher concentrations to support tissue repair and help fight infection.
Treatment is painless. You can watch a movie or rest during a two-hour session while monitored by trained staff. Before your first session, our providers and nurses meet with you to explain the process, build a personalized plan, and answer questions.

Benefits
Specialized wound care reduces follow-up visits, prevents infections, and shortens the time it takes to heal.
Find the reason a wound will not close
Circulation, pressure, swelling, infection, and underlying conditions all affect healing. We assess the cause first, then treat it, rather than repeating dressing changes that are not working.
Lower the risk of infection
Careful cleaning, disinfecting, debridement, and infection management protect the wound and reduce the chance of complications that lead to hospital stays.
Advanced therapy when standard care stalls
For qualifying wounds, hyperbaric oxygen therapy raises the oxygen delivered to tissue that is struggling to heal, supporting tissue repair and helping fight infection.
Limb preservation as the goal
When a wound threatens the foot or leg, wound care, podiatry, and circulation-focused specialists work together with one objective: protecting the limb and your mobility.
Coordinated with the rest of your care
Wound healing depends on blood sugar, circulation, and nutrition. Our team coordinates with endocrinology, cardiology, podiatry, and primary care so every factor is addressed.
Education for you and your caregivers
Much of wound care happens at home. We train patients and caregivers on dressing technique, warning signs of infection, and what to watch for between visits.
If a wound is not healing the way you expect, ask your physician for a referral or contact our team directly to schedule an evaluation.
