Conditions we treat include:

- Pressure injuries (bedsores)
- Venous and arterial ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic injuries

Each patient receives a personalized care plan designed to promote healing and prevent future complications.

Advanced Healing with Hyperbaric Medicine
As part of our comprehensive wound care services, Artesia General Hospital also offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment uses a pressurized chamber to help your blood carry more oxygen to damaged tissue. The added oxygen supports faster healing and reduces the risk of infection. Hyperbaric medicine is especially helpful for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation injuries, and non-healing surgical sites. If traditional wound care isn’t enough, hyperbaric therapy may be the next step in your recovery plan.
