Conditions we treat

From FDA-approved wound and radiation indications to carefully evaluated off-label uses and wellness sessions, our medical team will tell you honestly whether HBOT is right for you.

Non-Healing Wounds

FDA-Approved

Wounds that haven't closed after 30 days of standard care often respond to hyperbaric oxygen therapy when oxygen delivery to the tissue is the missing factor.

Diabetic Lower-Extremity Wounds

FDA-Approved

Diabetic foot ulcers that haven't responded to standard care for 30+ days are an FDA-approved indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and a focus of our wound program.

Radiation Tissue Damage

FDA-Approved

Late-effect radiation injuries — including soft tissue radionecrosis, osteoradionecrosis, and radiation cystitis or proctitis — are FDA-approved indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

FDA-Approved

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a medical emergency. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy started within two weeks of onset can meaningfully improve recovery, and is an FDA-approved indication.

Learn more

Post-COVID Recovery

Off-Label

Patients with persistent fatigue, brain fog, and exercise intolerance after COVID-19 are increasingly turning to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This is currently an off-label use that we discuss carefully with each patient.

Learn more

Chronic Pain

Off-Label

For appropriate patients, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and complement other pain management strategies. Most chronic pain indications are off-label.

Learn more

Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis

FDA-Approved

Bone infections that keep coming back after antibiotics and surgery are an FDA-approved indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, used alongside surgical debridement and IV antibiotics to clear infection from poorly oxygenated bone.

Learn more

Severe Anemia (Bridge Therapy)

FDA-Approved

When a blood transfusion isn't possible — by choice or by clinical circumstance — hyperbaric oxygen therapy can serve as a temporary bridge, oxygenating tissue directly through the plasma. This is an FDA-approved indication for exceptional blood-loss anemia.

Wellness & Recovery

Wellness

Athletic recovery, healthy aging, and everyday wellness — the non-medical reasons people use hyperbaric oxygen. Off-label, self-pay, and always explained with honest expectations.

The Science

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which you breathe 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased atmospheric pressure dissolves dramatically more oxygen into your plasma than is possible at sea level, so oxygen can reach tissue that compromised blood vessels can no longer feed.

That additional oxygen drives the cellular processes behind wound closure, infection control, and tissue repair — and it powers the FDA-approved indications we treat every day.

Inside the chamber

1
Compression
Gentle, gradual increase to treatment pressure (10–15 minutes).
2
Treatment
~90 minutes breathing 100% medical-grade oxygen.
3
Decompression
Gradual return to normal pressure, supervised by your technician.

What to expect

From first call to last treatment

Most patients say the hardest part is picking up the phone. Here’s how the rest looks once you do.

Book a free consultation

Tell us about your condition. Our team responds quickly, answers your questions, and schedules an in-person evaluation with our medical team.

Meet your physician

Your physician reviews your medical history, examines you, and discusses whether HBOT is the right fit. If it is, we coordinate with your other doctors and handle insurance pre-authorization.

Treatment in the chamber

You'll arrive, change into cotton scrubs, and settle into one of our hard-shell hyperbaric chambers. Sessions are about 90 minutes — most patients read, watch a movie, or nap.

Track progress, adjust the plan

We measure progress throughout your course of treatment. Your physician reassesses regularly to make sure the plan is still right, and we communicate clearly with you the whole way through.

Why HBOT works

The mechanisms behind the medicine

HBOT isn’t a wellness trend at HBOTQ — it’s the cellular biology of oxygen, applied to conditions where oxygen delivery is the missing piece.

Up to 20× more oxygen in your blood plasma

Pressurized 100% oxygen dissolves into plasma at levels impossible at sea level, reaching tissue that compromised blood vessels can no longer feed.

Stimulates new blood vessel growth

HBOT supports angiogenesis — new capillary formation — in chronically ischemic tissue, including diabetic wounds and post-radiation injury.

Boosts infection control

Oxygen-rich plasma enhances white blood cell activity and amplifies the effectiveness of many antibiotics in fighting persistent infection.

Accelerates tissue repair

Increased oxygen availability drives fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and the cellular signaling pathways needed for closure and recovery.

Supports brain and nerve recovery

Hyperbaric oxygen has been studied for its effects on the brain and nervous system, including in post-COVID syndromes and certain pain conditions.

Reduces inflammation

HBOT modulates inflammatory pathways, supporting recovery from chronic inflammation that can hold up healing for months.

Patient Stories

People healing in Queens

“After a year of failed wound treatments, my foot finally closed after a few weeks at HBOTQ. The team explained every step and I never felt rushed.”

Patricia L. — Diabetic Foot Ulcer

“I lost most of my hearing in one ear overnight. My ENT sent me to HBOTQ within 48 hours and I got a meaningful amount back. I'm grateful every day.”

Daniel R. — Sudden Hearing Loss

“Radiation from my throat cancer treatment left me unable to have dental work done. The HBOTQ protocol made my extractions possible without further damage.”

Robert M. — Osteoradionecrosis

“The chamber is bigger and more comfortable than I expected. I bring a book, the team checks in throughout, and the time flies by.”

Maria C. — Chronic Wound

“After months of post-COVID fatigue, I'm finally back to working out. HBOTQ was honest about expectations, which I appreciated.”

Anthony G. — Post-COVID

While you treat

Just relax and breathe.

Most of our patients are surprised by how comfortable a session is. Our chambers are roomy enough to read, stream a movie on the built-in viewing screen, or simply rest. Our team checks on you throughout — and your time is your time.
