At Halifax Health - Advanced Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine, we want to focus on giving you the highest level of hyperbaric medicine possible. This procedure involves breathing in pure oxygen while lying in a hyperbaric chamber.
This FDA-approved treatment can help with medical conditions including traumatic injuries, diabetic wounds, tissue damage, and more.
Paul Johnson, MD is a wound care physician who is also board-certified in Family and Sports Medicine. He completed a fellowship in Hyperbaric Medicine from Louisiana State University and is the only fellowship-trained, hospital-based Hyperbaric Medicine physician in Central Florida.
With research still in process, the FDA has not approved ‘off-label’ hyperbaric treatments yet, but they are scientifically sound and can improve one's health regarding:
Alzheimer's Dementia
Hearing loss
Lupus
Lyme disease
Migraine
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
PTSD
Reconstructive surgery
Sports injuries
Stroke
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Please note that 'off-label' hyperbaric treatments may not be covered by all insurance companies.
.
Most treatments or 'dives' last between 90 - 120 minutes depending on the injury. Your physician will set up a 'dive plan' to determine how many sessions you need to meet your wound-curing goal.
A typical patient will be prescribed multiple dives a week for four to six weeks.
Before you come to the Halifax Health - Advanced Wound Healing & Hyperbaric Medicine, we request that you remove:
battery-operated devices
contact lenses
deodorants
lotions and oils
jewelry
makeup
nail polish
perfume or cologne
You will breathe 100% oxygen while lying in a comfortable hyperbaric chamber during your treatment. Most patients nap or read a book. Water will be provided during your dive and you will be monitored throughout the entire treatment. You may not eat food or chew gum during a dive.
