Conditions HBOT Treats
Medicare and most major insurers cover HBOT for these specific conditions. Our physicians evaluate whether your wound or condition qualifies.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Wagner Grade 3+ ulcers not improving after 30 days of standard wound care.
Radiation Tissue Damage
Osteoradionecrosis, radiation cystitis, radiation proctitis, and soft tissue radionecrosis.
Refractory Osteomyelitis
Chronic bone infection unresponsive to standard antibiotic and surgical treatment.
Compromised Skin Grafts
Failed or failing skin grafts and flaps — HBOT improves survival and reduces necrosis.
Crush Injuries
Acute traumatic ischemia and severe crush injuries requiring enhanced oxygen delivery.
Gas Gangrene
Clostridial myonecrosis and select serious infections requiring hyperoxygenation.
Air or Gas Embolism
Air or gas bubbles trapped in the bloodstream, causing dangerous blockages. HBOT reduces bubble size and restores circulation.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Including cases from smoke inhalation or faulty exhaust. HBOT rapidly clears carbon monoxide from blood and tissues, preventing long-term neurological damage.
Decompression Sickness
Commonly known as 'the bends,' affecting divers who surface too quickly. HBOT dissolves residual nitrogen bubbles and restores normal tissue oxygenation.
Severe Anemia
Exceptional blood loss when blood transfusions are not an option. HBOT delivers dissolved oxygen directly into plasma, sustaining tissues until red blood cells recover.
Intracranial Abscess
A localized pocket of infection in the brain. HBOT enhances antibiotic effectiveness and supports healing in this delicate, hard-to-reach area.
Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
Severe 'flesh-eating' bacterial infections that destroy skin and underlying tissue. HBOT halts toxin production and supports surgical and antibiotic treatment.
Acute Thermal Burns
Severe burns from fire, electricity, or chemicals. HBOT reduces swelling, fights infection, and accelerates skin graft integration and wound closure.
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Sudden, severe blockage of blood flow to the retina. HBOT delivers oxygen to oxygen-starved retinal tissue, potentially preserving vision when treated promptly.
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Unexplained, rapid hearing loss in one or both ears. HBOT increases oxygen supply to the inner ear, supporting recovery when treatment begins early.
Why Some Wounds Won't Heal Without HBOT
- ✕Damaged tissue is starved of oxygen — the body can't repair what it can't reach
- ✕Poor circulation blocks red blood cells from delivering healing oxygen
- ✕Chronic infections resist standard antibiotic treatment in low-oxygen environments
- ✕Radiation damage destroys blood vessels, leaving tissue permanently hypoxic
- ✕Diabetic ulcers stall after 30 days of standard wound care with no progress
- ✕Failed skin grafts and flaps die without adequate oxygen supply
Physician-Led Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Delivers 10–15× more oxygen to damaged tissue than normal breathing
- Oxygen dissolves directly into blood plasma — reaching tissue red blood cells can't
- Stimulates angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) for lasting circulation
- Enhances white blood cell effectiveness to fight deep-tissue infections
- FDA-cleared for diabetic ulcers, radiation injuries, and osteomyelitis
- Reduces inflammation at the cellular level to accelerate wound closure
