Wound Healing Center
Enhancing the body's natural healing ability
The Wound Healing Center focuses on the healing process of complex or hard to heal wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, skin tears, post-surgical incisions and radiation wounds. The Wound Healing Center has two state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chambers to help in the healing process. The chambers feature flat-screen TVs for the patient’s comfort during treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows the patient to breathe 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure. It is a painless, proven way to help the body heal. You do not need a physician's referral to make an appointment.
The Wound Healing Center, located at Chestnut Plaza, Suite F, is under the medical direction of David Busby, M.D. Dr. Busby graduated from Ouachita Baptist University and from the University of Tennessee, College of Medicine, and has completed specialized training for Wound Care.
