In Sanskrit, an ancient South Asian language, Vayu means “air” and “life.” Hyperbaric oxygen therapy , a specialty of Vayu Advanced Wound Clinic and Hyperbarics, increases oxygen consumption in a pressurized chamber. This treatment has countless benefits for healing and can treat many chronic diabetic ulcers, defective grafts, defective flaps, radiation injuries, and many more.
To evaluate the depth and severity of wounds, Dr. Badam offers skin biopsies and deep tissue DNA culture testing. These tests help her design an individualized treatment plan for ulcers and other skin complications based on patients’ needs. For deep or large wounds, Dr. Badam carefully performs surgical debridement.
Dr. Badam treats peripheral artery disease, lymphedema, and chronic venous insufficiency, along with the complications they often cause, including ulcers and tissue infections.

John Trevino2024-02-29This was a really great experience for me. Had some doubt about my recovery because my wound was pretty bad. There was thoughts about even amputation. But after the great care from the doctor, Christina and Mason I can sit here now and say my injury is all healed and no amputation was involved. So a very heartfelt Thank You for everything.
Andrea Grant2024-02-27Dr. Badam, Mason & the entire staff at Vayu have been beyond helpful as I recovered from my mastectomy with reconstruction. At first I was VERY nervous about the hyperbaric oxygen chamber! I thought I’d be claustrophobic and have ear & sinus issues. Dr. Badam was SO patient with me…she told me some meds to take and taught me how to continually clear my ears—after a few sessions, I made it the full “depth”. Even after my wounds were more solidly healing, the chamber helped, in conjunction with physical therapy, to break down some fat necrosis I had, which got me ready for my revision surgery. Thanks to everyone in this office for helping to optimize my healing at such an important time! As a patient with lupus, this is no small feat. I’ll be forever grateful.

Ron Couet2024-02-09Dr. Manjulatha Badam is a miracle worker. I had a stubborn wound on the bottom of my foot for over a year. I saw countless doctors including wound care professionals. I had lost all hope until I stumbled upon Dr. Manjulatha Badam‘s website and gave it a try. I went with low expectations and that changed during my initial visit. It was very obvious she knew her practice better than the others I went to. There’s no comparison. She worked her magic and after 3 visits and following her instructions my open wound finally healed!!!!! I have such confidence in her that I will let her inspect my problematic feet once every 6 months. She’s very friendly and at the same time very serious. The office is very nice and her staff is very helpful. I will recommend Dr. Manjulatha Badam to everyone. If I could make her my GP, I would. I trust her, and I don’t trust many.
Stephen Almaguer2024-02-07Excellent professionalism! Informative towards my specific ailments and given a plan on what I must do to heal properly.

I would highly recommend Dr. Badam and her staff at Vayu Advanced Wound Clinic and Hyperbarics for all wound care treatments. ❤️❤️
