How HBO Treatment for Wounds Helps
Reduces pain and swelling
Regrows healthy tissue, skin and bones
Kills bacteria and infections and supercharges antibiotics, making them more effective
Heals ulcers, wounds, and injuries faster
Increases stem cell mobilization and reproduction
Non-healing wounds, wherever they occur, can prevent us from living a full and active life.
We have healed thousands of patients with stubborn and non-healing wounds over the last 25 years. Our hyperbaric wound care treatment has helped heal diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, mouth and throat sores, ulcers, and sores on breasts, legs, buttocks, muscle, and tissue. Hyperbarics for wound healing at our clinic has also helped treat bladder and vaginal wall wounds, intestinal wounds and rectal fissures, sores in the skull, chest lesions, and problems with fingers and eyes.
HBOT wound therapy helps healing by regrowing blood vessels and nerves and stimulating growth factors (such as stem cells) that supply the body with a renewed ability to heal. Hyperbaric wound care kills infections (anaerobic bacteria) and supercharges antibiotics. It also regrows new healthy bone, soft tissue, and skin.
Illnesses and other problems, such as diabetes, paralysis, strokes, injuries, vascular disease, aging and some medications, often contribute to difficulty in healing some wounds. Fortunately, hyperbaric chambers for wound healing can help, even with these other conditions present.
If you are interested in finding out more about how HBO treatment for wounds can help based on your specific diagnosis, give us a call. We can also tell you what your insurance covers and discuss your financial options for hyperbaric wound therapy. We look forward to helping patients return to a normal, pain-free life.

Arun, 17
Healed a two-inch long chest wound where a tumor had been removed.
Arun had ambitions to attend junior college after high school. However, he developed a tumor on the left side of his chest wall, just over his upper ribs. Arun’s physician used radiation to treat the tumor area.
Fortunately, this eliminated the tumor. However, it also resulted in a two-inch long non-healing chest wound where the tumor had been.
Fortunately for him, hyperbaric wound therapy healed his chest and skin, so he could return to finish high school, and move on to junior college! -
Jesus, 57
Healed a wound and numbness in his foot.
Jesus is an active contractor. He also has diabetes. One day, a pallet fell on his foot, causing an open wound that would not heal. After several weeks, much of the wound had closed up, but there was still an area on the top of his foot that was infected and would not heal.
In addition, his foot remained numb, even where the skin had healed. The hyperbaric wound care treatments Jesus received healed the rest of the sore on his foot, but it also healed the numbness! -
Mary Ann, 54
Recovered from paralysis caused by a truck accident 10 years earlier
Ten years previous to her visit to Bay Area Hyperbarics, Mary Ann had been hit by a drunk driver. Sadly, she was paralyzed below her shoulders, and her source of mobility was an electric wheelchair.
Her problem was that she developed bedsores on her buttocks that would not heal for months. The sores continued to worsen and got infected so badly that she developed a bone infection (called osteomyelitis).
Her husband was worried about her infections and brought her in for HBO treatment for wounds. After treatment, her bone infection and sores healed completely. She and her husband were very pleased.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treats medical conditions with 100% oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. The patient lies or sits in the chamber. The extra oxygen then saturates the plasma in the blood, allowing oxygen to flow easily throughout the body and reach even areas that are injured or diseased, which typically receive less oxygen.
The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include stimulating and mobilizing stem cells, down-regulating inflammatory genes, up-regulating reproductive cells, and stimulating DNA. HBOT also regrows tiny blood vessels and stimulates the growth of new healthy cells in the brain, bones, skin, organs, and tissues.
People seek hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal physical damage in their bodies and to promote health and anti-aging. -
What does HBOT feel like?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a painless, noninvasive therapy. Our patients often tell us they don't notice the pressure change, except for a bit in their ears. Specifically, some feel a bit of pressure in their ears, like when they take off in an airplane. Inside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, it feels like their ears are 'popping'.
After a treatment, some patients say they can think more clearly and that they have more energy. If there has been pain from swelling or impinged nerves, patients often comment on the pain relief, plus increased strength and range of motion after their treatments. -
Is HBOT safe?
Overall, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely safe. However, as with any medical therapy, there can be risks. Any risks should be reviewed with you prior to your treatment, at the time your provider goes over your health history with you, and during your intake at the clinic.
All clinics are constructed with the approval of the local fire marshal and building inspectors to ensure that they comply with all relevant safety codes. Bay Area Hyperbarics has an outstanding safety record for our 25 years serving our community. -
How do I prepare for HBOT?
We make preparing for the hyperbaric chamber easy. Before the first treatment, we take the time to answer all of your questions in detail. The patient’s healthcare provider reviews their history and condition. For example, depending on your condition, you may be asked to eat before your treatment.
Preparing for HBOT is just as individualized as the treatment plan. In most cases, it’s as easy as changing into the clothing we provide you. Call us with any questions you have. We are more than happy to answer all of your questions, even if you are not a current patient. -
Will my insurance cover HBOT?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to help with numerous medical conditions. Each insurance company decides what’s covered and what's not. That said, HBOT is covered by Medicare, Kaiser, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, United Health Care, and many other insurances.
Coverage is based on the diagnosis. We also take people with conditions that are not covered by their insurance but whose problem can greatly improve with HBOT. Call us! We are more than happy to look at your personal situation and do the insurance work for you.
