Vivian Abrams, D.P.M., is a podiatrist in McKinney, Tex. Until now a portable hyperbaric oxygen chamber has generated excellent results. Mike's feet and lower legs are locked into compartments, which are then flooded with pure oxygen to promote healing. Pressure changes in the chamber help increase blood flow returning feeling to the feet and decreasing leg pain. Treatment lasts 90 minutes and is usually done twice a day.
Treatment can take between one and five months.
Topical hyperbaric oxygen also helps patients with burns and even insect bites. Some insurance companies will cover the treatment. Healing Revisited Rape Crisis Hotline Health Care Pt. 3 Health Care Pt. 2 Health Series Pt.
