The Wound Center

Advanced Care for Wounds, Compassionate Healing for You.

Some wounds require special care to heal. For our patients with those needs, The Wound Center at Riverside offers complete Wound Care Program with many specialized treatments to promote and speed healing.

One of the most progressive treatments we offer is hyperbaric oxygen therapy - a very effective way to help the body repair wounds and fight infection. Our Wound Center is home to two state-of-the-art hyperbaric therapy chambers and our wound care are trained in the delivery of this care to qualified patients. During this therapy, our team prepares the patient and assists them into the chamber. While in the chamber, the patient breathes pure oxygen for a shot time while cradled comfortably in a special chamber pressurized to greater than seal level. This allows greater amounts of oxygen to be dissolved in the bloodstream and carried to body tissues in amounts large enough to improve healing. There is no discomfort, and patients rest, watch TV or sleep while they receive this care.
