Hyperbaric oxygen therapy treats dozens of medical conditions, and is used to improve athletic performance and by many patients for anti-aging.

Top Diagnoses:

Sudden Deafness

Hemorrhagic Cystitis

Radiation damage to the breast

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Air and gas embolism

Perhaps the most commonly understood use of hyperbarics, it dissolves air bubbles in patients’ bloodstreams, decreasing the risk of embolism.

Arthritis

Studies have shown that HBOT increases SOD activity, decreases lipoperoxide values and that patients show remarkable recovery.

Anti-Aging

A significant body of research, including MRIs, videos, imaging and photos, show the value of HBOT to help reverse the effects of aging.

Avascular Necrosis

Location

Studies of HBOT for AVN show a decrease in pain, increased movement, and the prevention of joint collapse with early intervention.

Autism

We have treated dozens of children with ASD and have seen a significant improvement in their quality of life.

Anoxic Brain Injury

Location

Several studies have underscored the potential benefits of HBOT in treating TBI and anoxic brain injury.

Bone infection (Osteomyelitis)

HBOT has proven to be an effective therapy, coupled with antibiotics and debridement, increasing the cure rate from 50% to 86%.

Breast pain /chest pain & damage caused by radiation

HBOT halts ongoing radiation damage to breast tissues and is used as an adjunct to skin grafting for necrosis of the chest wall after mastectomy.

Cancer (treatment synergy)

HBOT has been shown not to worsen cancer, and it typically mitigates the side effects of chemotherapy, such as “chemo brain.”

Carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has ben shown to remove carboxyhemoglobin faster than any other treatment, including oxygen alone.

Central retinal artery occlusion

It is critical that patients receive hyperbaric oxygen within 24 hours of an injury causing CRAO in order to reverse it completely.

Cerebral palsy

A significant body of research, including MRIs, videos, imaging and photos, show the value of HBOT to help reverse the effects of aging.

Crohn’s disease

Studies show that between a 78% and 88% of Crohn’s patients who receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy experience significant improvement.

Chronic fatigue syndrome

HBOT decreases the severity of symptoms and increases the quality of life for CFS patients

Chronic pain

We have seen numerous cases of chronic pain from dozens of underlying conditions resolved.

Compartment syndrome

Hyperbarics saves many lives when applied to patients with compartment syndrome.

Complex regional pain syndrome

After HBOT, patients' VAFS, FSS and FQLSHBOT scores are found to improve. HBOT decreases symptom severity and increases life quality.

Location

Compromised and failing grafts and flaps

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps heal failing or compromised grafts and flaps, even those with underlying complications, such as radiation injuries, tissue or bone infection and diabetes.

Concussion / TBI / Anoxic Brain Injury

Location

Physicians increasingly refer HBOT for patients with TBI and anoxic brain injury, because studies with brain imaging show angiogenesis and neuroplasticity.

Crush injuries and acute ischemias

HBOT is approved by Medicare and reimbursed by a number of private insurance companies for crush injuries.

Dementia

HBOT helps the brain regenerate, most frequently reducing symptoms of dementia.

Decompression sickness

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy dissolves arterial gas (nitrogen) that can cause embolisms.

Depression

Depression caused by brain injury can be healed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Diabetic wounds

Research shows that hyperbarics heals diabetic wounds (66% vs 0%) and powerfully results in fewer amputations (8% vs 82%).

Erectile dysfunction and insufficiency

Location

HBOT has been clinically proven to improve erectile dysfunction in most patients, even over the long term.

Fibromyalgia

Location

Many FMS patients show brain scan lesions. Studies show that HBOT heals these lesions, leading to dramatic increases in brain function.

Fetal alcohol syndrome

Patients with FASD show an improvement in verbal memory, impulse control and reaction time composites from HBOT.

Fibrosis

Studies show that HBOT kills bacterial agents that cause pulmonary fibrosis, and helps heal radiation-induced fibrosis.

Failing Grafts and Flaps

Location

Patients who received HBOT after undergoing free flap surgery have a significantly lower rate of flap loss and higher rate of complete flap survival than those who do not receive HBOT.

Gangrene / Gas Gangrene

HBOT oxygenates hypoxic tissues, which can prevent amputation and heal gangrene.

Headaches

Many providers refer patients to HBOT to reduce the incidence and severity of headaches. Migranes at times resolve in just one treatment.

Intracranial Abscess

A number of studies have shown that HBOT as an adjunct to antibiotics, heals intracranial abscesses at a much higher rate.

Interstitial cystitis

HBOT decreases pelvic pain and urgency, improves voiding patterns, and increases functional bladder capacity.

Inflammatory bowel disease

Location

In recent studies, 78% of patients with Crohn's disease improved with HBOT, and 100% with ulcerative colitis were healed.

Lyme Disease

HBOT kills the spirochetes believed to cause Lyme disease. It also kills bacteria and heals damage done by bacteria.

Migraine Headaches

Healthcare providers recommend patients to hypebarics to heal non-healing wounds more than any other medical condition.

Multiple sclerosis

While hyperbarics does not cure MS, our patients find that regular HBOT helps them manage their symptoms. Give us a call.

Non-healing wounds

Healthcare providers recommend patients to hypebarics to heal non-healing wounds more than any other medical condition.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections

Studies show that the introduction of oxygen-under-pressure often reverses and heals necrotizing infections.

Osteomyelitis (bone infections)

HBOT increases the cure rate for refractory osteomyelitis to 86% when used as an adjunct to other treatments such as antibiotics.

Pancreatitis

HBOT improves survival, reduces overall severity, and decreases the extent of necrosis, in severe pancreatitis.

Parkinson’s disease

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreases neuroinflammation, promotes neurogenesis and improves mitochondrial biogenesis

Location

Problem wounds

HBOT increases neovascularization by angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, is bactericidal, and improves post-ischemic tissue survival.

Radiation damage to the abdomen and pelvis

Research and our own experience shows that hyperbarics most often reverses the effects of radiation damage to the abdomen and pelvis.

Radiation damage to the bladder

Medicare, the AMA and the FDA support HBOT as a proven treatment for Hemorrhagic Cystitis and 76% of patients show significant resolution of their HRC after HBOT.

Radiation damage to the breast

HBOT halts ongoing radiation damage to breast tissues. It stimulates angiogenesis in hypoxic tissue, correcting ischemias after mastectomies.

Radiation Damage to mouth, neck and head

HBOT halts the loss of teeth and prevents worsening of symptoms such as bone loss, infections, and skin and gum sores.

Radiation damage to other bones and tissues

Radiation damage to bones and tissues can be healed by hyperbarics, which super-oxygenates tissues to build new blood vessels and tissue.

Radiation proctitis

HBOT heals radiation proctitis by increasing oxygen, blood flow and growth factors to damaged tissues, and reducing inflammation.

Retinitis pigmentosa

HBOT can help stabilize patients’ visual acuity, visual field, and ERG responses.

Sudden Deafness

Half the people who have sudden hearing loss will recover within two weeks if they receive hyperbaric treatment.

Sports Injuries/ Athletic Recovery

Professional, olympic and casual athletes regularly see us for HBOT for recovery.

Stroke

55% of stroke participants experience significant improvement after HBOT, while 72% have at least a mild improvement

Severe anemia

Leading research shows consistent positive results for HBOT as a treatment for severe anemia.

Scleroderma

HBOT delivers oxygen to marginal, ischemic wounds and accelerates wound healing.

Spinal cord injuries

HBOT decreases aptosis (cell death), reduces spinal inflammation and increases cellular regrowth in the central nervous system.

Thermal Burns

Tissues surrounding burns often become hypoxic. Hyperbarics oxygenates both burned and surrounding tissue, so viable tissue can heal.

Ulcerative colitis

In 6 studies on the use of HBOT on ulcerative colitis, 100% of patients showed improvement.
