Advanced Wound Care that Moves You Toward Healing
Chronic or nonhealing wounds can be stressful and disruptive. At Marshfield Clinic, you get a coordinated care team that diagnoses the cause, treats the wound, and helps prevent it from returning—so you can get back to life sooner. Our services span wound surgery, specialized therapies, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment when appropriate.

Conditions we treat

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — when oxygen is medicine
Hyperbaric medicine uses medical-grade oxygen under pressure to increase oxygen delivery to tissues. This promotes new blood vessel growth and helps fight infections in areas that are hard to heal.
Why HBOT may be recommended
- Enhances tissue oxygenation for difficult wounds
- Supports healing after radiation therapy
- Assists with select infections and graft/flap complications (Your provider will determine if HBOT is right for you.)

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral?
Many patients self-schedule for an evaluation. If your insurance requires a referral, we’ll help you get one.
How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy feel?
You relax in a specialized chamber while breathing medical-grade oxygen under pressure. Sessions are supervised and designed to safely increase oxygen in your bloodstream, which supports healing and infection control.
How long does treatment take?
Plans vary by wound type. Some patients heal faster with integrated approaches (including HBOT) and ongoing plan adjustments based on monthly healing reviews. Your team will share expected timelines after evaluation.
Who will I see?
Your care may involve surgeons, nurse practitioners, physical therapy, orthotics, and nutrition support, all working together.
Is HBOT used for emergencies?
Yes—certain urgent conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness are treated with HBOT. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Which locations offer hyperbaric treatment?
Beaver Dam (WI), Marshfield (WI), and Iron Mountain (MI); plus specialized services at our Dickinson center.
