Conditions Hyperbarics can Treat

Conditions That We Treat

Many conditions show improvement when treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. There are now 13 specific conditions that are approved by the FDA for hyperbaric oxygen treatments and many more that are not. All of these treatments listed have cases with documented success stories due in large part to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but further research must be done before FDA approval.
