Natural Healing. Natural Results.

There are 14 indications that are approved to be treated by the Hyperbaric Medicine Committee:

1. Air or gas embolism – when gas bubbles enter arteries or veins
2. Carbon monoxide poisoning – when carbon monoxide is inhaled and injuries arise from that
3. Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis – a rapidly progressive infection of the soft tissue, known commonly as “gas gangrene”
4. Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias – injuries that result from trauma, from minor contusions to limb threatening damage
5. Decompression sickness – referred to as the “bends,” is the formation of inert gas bubbles in tissue, usually caused by rapid ascent from a dive.
6. Arterial insufficiencies – wounds that are not healing properly
7. Severe anemia – a loss of red blood cell mass due to hemorrhage, hemolysis, or aplasia
8. Intracranial abscess – an inflammation caused from infected material coming from local or remote infectious sources
9. Necrotizing soft tissue infections – a rare but severe type of bacterial infection that can cause tissue death
10. Osteomyelitis – an infection of bone or bone marrow
11. Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis) – some radiation treatments leave patients with cell damage to soft tissue (such as mouth, throat, and the gastrointestinal tract).
12. Compromised grafts and flaps – when a skin graft does not heal properly
13. Acute thermal burn injury – severe burns that can be treated with enhanced oxygen
14. Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss – hearing loss caused by a malfunction in a certain nerve in the brain
