Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe and proven way to help the body heal from the inside out. At Springhill Medical Center, our hyperbaric program offers patients a powerful tool for recovery, using 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to speed up healing and fight infection.
This kind of treatment helps oxygen reach deep into injured or damaged tissue, where blood flow might be limited. It’s been shown to help patients heal from chronic wounds and other tough conditions that don’t always respond to standard treatment.
So, what can hyperbarics help treat?
- Chronic non-healing wounds (including diabetic foot ulcers)
- Radiation tissue damage (after cancer treatment)
- Skin grafts and flaps that are at risk
- Certain bone and tissue infections
- Crush injuries and sudden hearing loss
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
Did You Know?
HBOT can also help patients recover from complex oral surgeries — especially those involving bone grafts or dental implants where healing can be delayed. By improving oxygen delivery and reducing swelling, HBOT can enhance recovery and reduce the risk of infection, particularly in patients with prior radiation treatments to the head and neck.
