Advanced Healing

Rome Health’s Wound Care Center provides specialized treatment for chronic and non-healing wounds—helping patients heal faster, avoid complications, and return to daily life with confidence.

Chronic wounds can result from diabetes, poor circulation, infection, or other underlying conditions. Without advanced care, these wounds can lead to serious complications, including hospitalization or amputation. Our dedicated team delivers evidence-based therapies and a comprehensive approach to promote healing and improve outcomes.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an advanced treatment used for certain non-healing wounds.

During HBO, patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing oxygen to dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream. This process:

• Promotes faster tissue repair
• Enhances the body’s ability to fight infection
• Stimulates new blood vessel growth
• Reduces swelling and inflammation

HBO is particularly beneficial for conditions such as:

• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis)
• Compromised grafts or flaps
• Radiation-related injuries
• Delayed effects of radiation therapy (pain or injury to areas previously treated with radiation)/soft tissue radionecrosis*
• Osteoradionecrosis (including haw osteoradionecrosis)**
• Radiation/hemorrhagic cystitis***
• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
• Compromised skin grafts and flaps
• Other chronic, non-healing wounds

*In area where patient had prior radiation, patient may have loss of soft tissue, erythema, dermatitis, weeping, pain, ulceration, necrosis, delayed healing of an open ulcer, reduced blood supply to these tissues, etc. The patient may have a loss of soft tissue, meaning they have a wound in that area or they cannot grow new skin over a wound in that area. They may simply have some sort of effects to the tissue in that area, such as a redness, dermatitis, or weeping of the skin in that area where it just kind of drains occasionally. They could have pain in the area or itching even in the area. That area may have ulcerated or have some sort of dead tissue in there, where there's some sort of delayed healing in the wound in that area. The symptoms differ widely depending on where the radiation was delivered.

Not all patients require HBO, but for those who do, it can significantly improve healing outcomes and reduce the risk of amputation.
