Hyperbaric Medicine

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric medicine refers to a mode of medical treatment known as “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)” that enhances the body’s natural healing process. This is achieved through the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen in a total body chamber maintained at a much higher pressure than normal and under a controlled environment. As a part of an overall medical care and treatment plan, this therapy is now being employed in a wide variety of treatment procedures.

The diabetic patient is allowed to lie down on a bed comfortably placed in a submarine-like chamber where they breathe in an oxygen-rich surrounding with its 100% pure supply. The pressure within the chamber is maintained at about two and a half times that of normal atmospheric value. This respiratory process at super high pressure, called hyperbaric breathing, allows the blood to carry along increased quantities of oxygen to the body organs and tissues. The entire procedure is carried out under a strictly controlled and balanced environment.

Some of the Benefits of Hyperbaric Medicine

  • Blood Vessels Are Newly Generated & Regenerated To Compensate For Diminished Blood Circulation To The Lower Extremities.

  • The Natural Healing Process Quickens Substantially.

  • Sensory Neuropathy Is Also Compensated To A Certain Extent.

  • Reduces Diabetic Amputations In The Lower Extremities.

  • Saves Expenses On Surgical Process, Hospitalization, Post-operative Care & Rehabilitation Process.

Considered as an effective treatment for stubborn wounds and gangrenes that fail to heal up under hyperglycemic conditions. Wounds may heal more quickly and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • For appropriately selected patients with severe diabetic foot wounds, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may support healing as part of a comprehensive limb-preservation program. It cannot guarantee avoidance of amputation. Advance Foot & Ankle Solutions emphasizes coordinated wound management, infection control, and other treatments to preserve limb function.

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen inside a specially pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve into the bloodstream and reach certain damaged tissues.

    This treatment may support healing in selected medical conditions, including specific types of serious diabetic foot wounds.

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may benefit selected patients with severe diabetic foot ulcers that have not responded adequately to standard wound care. It is used alongside treatments such as infection control, pressure relief, and vascular management. Not every diabetic foot ulcer qualifies for this therapy.

  • The number of hyperbaric oxygen treatments depends on the medical condition, wound severity, and response to therapy. Some wound care protocols involve multiple sessions over several weeks.

    Dr. Sadhnani and the treatment team evaluate progress and determine whether continued therapy is medically appropriate.

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally well tolerated when administered under appropriate medical supervision. Possible risks include ear pressure injuries, temporary vision changes, and, rarely, oxygen-related complications. Patients undergo medical screening to determine whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks associated with treatment.
