Advanced Healing Techniques / Advancements in Healing

As an example of our commitment to progressive technologies, Coast Plaza is proud to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a healing and wound care treatment not often found in neighborhood hospitals. This painless procedure, used in conjunction with our expert medical care, is instrumental in speeding the healing process in a variety of conditions, often providing dramatic results in difficult cases.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivers 100% oxygen at increased pressure, which produces a surge in the amount of oxygen carried by the blood. This results in more oxygen being delivered to the organs and tissues in the body, which promotes the healing process in chronic wounds, improves the benefits of specific antibiotics, and helps white blood cells fight infection.

• Emergency Conditions
  • Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
