On-Label Conditions

What are On-Label Conditions?


Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), an advanced medical treatment designed to treat a variety of conditions, where patients breathe 100% pure oxygen in a specially designed pressurized chamber. This process significantly increases the oxygen levels in the bloodstream, accelerating the body’s natural healing and regeneration. “On-label” HBOT conditions refer to the 14 specific medical issues that have been officially approved by health authorities, such as the FDA, based on extensive clinical research and proven treatment outcomes.

 

At MD Hyperbaric, we provide expert care for patients with these 14 on-label conditions, using HBOT to reduce inflammation, fight infection, stimulate tissue repair, and support faster recovery. These approved uses include:

  • Air or gas embolism
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
  • Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and acute traumatic ischemias
  • Decompression sickness (“the bends”)
  • Arterial insufficiencies (e.g., retinal artery occlusion, selected wound healing)
  • Severe anemia
  • Intracranial abscess
  • Necrotizing soft tissue infections
  • Refractory osteomyelitis
  • Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bone necrosis)
  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps
  • Acute thermal burns
  • Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss

 

These conditions often involve low oxygen levels, tissue damage, or severe infections—areas where HBOT excels by enhancing oxygen delivery and promoting cellular repair.

 

At MD Hyperbaric, our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced medical team ensure safe, effective HBOT treatment customized for each patient’s needs. We follow strict clinical protocols to deliver optimal results and improve quality of life. If you or a loved one is facing one of these medically approved conditions, HBOT may be a powerful part of your healing process. Contact MD Hyperbaric today to learn how we can help.

How does HBOT Work?

So, how does Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) work? The treatment process involves placing the patient in a specialized chamber to breathe 100% oxygen at pressures higher than sea level. This boosts oxygen absorption, enhancing the body’s natural healing. HBOT Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes and are noninvasive, painless, and relaxing. Pressure and treatment time are carefully tailored by healthcare professionals to ensure safety and meet each patient’s specific needs.

On-Label Conditions FAQ

The cost of HBOT can vary depending on your treatment plan, session length, and the number of sessions recommended. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown based on your specific needs and goals, along with any available package options for multiple sessions. Our team can also help you explore payment options to make your treatment as accessible as possible.
The frequency of HBOT sessions depends on your individual goals and what’s being treated. For short-term issues, daily sessions over a week or two may be suggested, while longer-term or maintenance goals might benefit from a few sessions per week over several weeks. Most people start with an initial series of treatments and adjust based on results, and we’ll help create a schedule that works for you.
HBOT is generally very safe, and side effects are rare. Some patients feel mild ear pressure, like the sensation when flying, or temporary fatigue after a session. Serious side effects are uncommon, as we monitor you carefully throughout treatment to ensure your comfort and safety. Our team at MD Hyperbaric is here to address any concerns you may have before, during, or after your sessions.
