Living with diabetes can sometimes lead to wounds that seem to take forever to heal, particularly on the feet and lower legs. This happens because elevated blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and reduce circulation, limiting the oxygen and nutrients that reach injured tissue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a powerful solution by delivering pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure, allowing your blood plasma to carry significantly more oxygen than it normally could. This oxygen-rich environment stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, enhances white blood cell function to fight infection, and accelerates the production of collagen needed for tissue repair. Many patients with stubborn diabetic ulcers have experienced remarkable improvement after a series of hyperbaric treatments, with wounds finally closing after months or even years of struggling to heal.
