Can you tell me how hyperbaric oxygen therapy(hbot) treat diabetic foot ulcers?

Involved question...: HBOT works on increasing oxygen delivery to tissue that may not have good blood flow. Oxygen is imperative if you want healing to occur. http://www.palmettohealth.org/documents/documents/HyperbaricBrochure.pdf
