Conditions
Discover some of the uses for Hyperbaric Oxygeneration Therapy
OxyGeneration provides non-emergency HBOT as a supplemental or add-on therapy for a range of medical conditions, from serious infections, inflammation, wounds (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers or radiation injury) to sports injury, and it can be used to speed up or improve recovery from surgery and for general health and wellness. HBOT works cumulatively; therefore best results are seen when clients follow a consistent treatment programme and attend regularly. HBOT is not for everyone, please see our FAQ page for information on suitability.
Other Uses
Please note that some of the conditions listed below require emergency provision of HBOT and as OxyGeneration is not a hospital facility, we are not the appropriate provider in such situations. OxyGeneration does not provide emergency hyperbaric services, but it can be useful to understand the emergency uses for context.
The list to the left includes both elective/supportive conditions and emergency indications for educational clarity and context. If you are unsure whether HBOT is appropriate for your situation, we encourage you to speak to your GP or referring specialist.
