A diabetic foot ulcer needs wound care. It may involve poor blood flow, nerve damage, infection, or pressure. For people considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcer wounds in Richmond Contra Costa County, questions can help set goals.

Ask, “How could HBOT fit into my complete wound care plan?” A hyperbaric medicine team can review your ulcer, circulation, infection status, diabetes control, and treatment history. This helps assess HBOT suitability. If you are also dealing with a wound or graft that has not healed, ask whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy for failed skin graft not healing treatment in San Anselmo, Marin County may be appropriate for your case. Do not start HBOT based on a promise of faster healing. Ask for a wound assessment, a clear reason for treatment, expected goals, possible risks, and a plan for measuring progress. Speak with your wound care team to decide if this therapy fits your needs.
