Medical-Grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
and Wound Care
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Approved and Commonly Treated Conditions with
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to support healing in a variety of approved and research-supported conditions. Some conditions are widely covered by insurance, while others may require individual review or may be considered emerging applications.
Radition-Related Indications
Radiation Proctitis - Bowel issues or rectal bleeding caused by pelvic radiation
Radiation Cystitis - Bladder pain or bleeding caused by pelvic radiation
Breast & Chest Wall Radiation Injury - Radiation-related tissue damage affecting the breast, ribs, skin, or chest wall following cancer treatment.
Wound & Tissue Healing
Diabetic Foot Ulcers - Chronic diabetic wounds that are slow to heal and at risk for infection or amputation.
Chronic Non-Healing Wounds - Persistent wounds that fail to heal properly due to poor circulation, infection, radiation injury, or other underlying conditions.
Compromised Skin Grafts & Flaps - Threatened or poorly healing grafts and flaps with reduced blood flow or tissue viability concerns.
Chronic Bone Infection (Refractory Osteomyelitis) - Persistent bone infection that has not responded adequately to standard treatment.
Tissue Ischemia & Threatened Tissue Injury - Reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery that may place tissues at risk for poor healing or tissue loss.
Crush Injuries - Severe trauma-related tissue injury that may involve swelling, reduced circulation, and threatened tissue viability.
Vision and Hearing Conditions
Acute Hearing Loss - Sudden, often unexplained hearing loss that may develop rapidly over hours to days, sometimes accompanied by ringing in the ears or dizziness.
Central Retinal Arterial Occlusion - A sudden loss of blood flow to the retina that can cause rapid, painless vision loss and requires immediate emergency medical evaluation.
Important: Sudden vision loss is a medical emergency. Patients experiencing sudden vision changes should seek immediate care with a qualified eye or vision specialist.
Urgent & Emergency Indications
These conditions should be treated at a hospital with supporting specialists, along with HBOT before coming to ROC for ongoing treatment.
Carbon Monoxide Toxicity
Thermal Burns - HBOT may support healing and tissue recovery in select burn injuries, particularly in cases involving compromised tissue viability or delayed healing.
​Important: Severe burns require immediate emergency and/or burn-center evaluation. ROC Hyperbarics & Wound Care does not provide emergency stabilization or trauma services.
Frostbite
Other Approved HBOT Indications
These conditions should be treated at a hospital with supporting specialists, along with HBOT and would not generally be treated at ROC.
Decompression Sickness
Arterial Embolism and/or Thrombosis
Other Conditions ROC has gotten approved or are undergoing further investigation in clinical studies.
