About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH) offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a safe and evidence-based treatment to speed up the healing process for specific types of wounds. During treatment, patients breathe 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, which increases the oxygen concentration in the bloodstream and delivers it to the wound site, promoting faster healing. This therapy can reduce swelling, fight infection, and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, ultimately leading to the development of healthy tissue. SIH's chambers are equipped with televisions and comfortable bedding to help patients relax during the 90-minute sessions, which typically occur five days a week for four to six weeks. SIH's courteous staff can assist with insurance issues, as Medicare and most healthcare plans reimburse hyperbaric oxygen therapy for accepted indications.
