Hyperbaric chamber for wound healing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is best known for treating decompression sickness. It reduces the amount of nitrogen in your body and fills the tissue with oxygen.
HBOT or hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the primary treatment for arterial gas embolism, a dangerous medical condition caused by gas bubbles entering the arterial circulation.
Wounds need oxygen to heal properly. Discover how hyperbaric oxygen therapy may speed up the wound-healing process.
Diabetes interrupts the body’s natural and efficient healing process. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment uses pressurised oxygen to stimulate your body’s innate healing process.
Learn how hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help in treating wounds after radiation therapy.
HBOT for Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss may improve blood flow, and reduce oxidative stress in the inner ear. This then may lead to improved hearing and reduced hearing loss.
If you’ve had a skin graft or flap, you’re probably hoping for steady healing. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned.
Traumatic ischaemic wounds are wounds that result from both injury and poor blood flow — a double hit that makes them especially hard to heal. At Wesley Hyperbaric, we see these often in patients with crush injuries, burns, or deep tissue trauma. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may offer a powerful boost to recovery when other treatments alone aren’t enough.
Long Covid:
If you’re dealing with Long Covid, you’re not alone. While no single treatment has been proven to “cure” Long Covid, some early studies suggest hyperbaric oxygen therapy might help improve symptoms for some people. Let’s dive into what we know – and don’t know.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is not currently a standard treatment for IBD but is being explored as a potential adjuvant therapy. By increasing oxygen delivery to inflamed gut tissue, HBOT may help reduce inflammation, support healing, and improve quality of life.
A crush injury happens when part of the body, usually a limb, is trapped under a heavy weight or force. The pressure damages not only the surface but also the muscles, nerves and blood vessels beneath. With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we’re giving the body the tools it needs to heal faster and more completely; especially after something as complex as a crush injury.
