Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for heart disease in Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that can activate the body's natural healing processes. Located at 800 East 28th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this facility is one of the few in the state to provide this specialized therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is particularly effective for patients with wounds that have not been healing properly, as it delivers 100 percent oxygen to the affected area at increased pressure. This helps to enhance the body's ability to repair itself, fight infection, and promote healing. Patients typically receive treatment in one of the three chambers for 90 minutes a day, five days a week for an average of six weeks. The therapy is administered by certified hyperbaric physicians and supervisors who closely monitor the patient's progress. Patients can relax during their treatment by watching TV or taking a nap. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is offered at Abbott Northwestern's Wound Clinic on the fourth floor of the Main Hospital.
