Wound Healing and Surgery Recovery in Manhasset, NY
Surgery marks the beginning of your healing journey, not the end. Whether you’ve undergone orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, or another procedure, your body requires optimal conditions to repair tissues, manage inflammation, and prevent complications. MD Hyperbaric offers medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) that supports faster wound healing, reduces post-operative complications, and helps Long Island residents return to normal activities with confidence and improved surgical outcomes.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Recovery in Manhasset
Successful recovery depends on your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to healing tissues. Surgical incisions, internal repairs, and compromised blood flow create areas where oxygen levels drop precisely when cellular repair demands are highest. This oxygen deficit can slow healing, increase infection risk, and lead to prolonged discomfort or complications that extend your recovery timeline.
HBOT floods your bloodstream with pure oxygen under controlled pressure, allowing more oxygen to dissolve into your plasma and reach even poorly circulated surgical sites. Our facility provides physician-supervised Long Island wound recovery protocols that support:
- Accelerated tissue repair: Oxygen-saturated blood delivers the fuel surgical sites need for rapid cellular regeneration, helping incisions close faster and internal tissues knit together more effectively.
- Infection prevention: High oxygen concentrations create an environment hostile to many bacteria while strengthening your immune system’s ability to fight potential infections at surgical sites.
- Reduced swelling and inflammation: HBOT decreases post-operative swelling that can impede blood flow and slow recovery, helping you experience less pain and improved mobility sooner.
- Enhanced collagen production: The therapy stimulates collagen synthesis essential for strong scar formation and proper wound closure, supporting better cosmetic outcomes after plastic surgery.
- Improved circulation to compromised areas: New blood vessel formation from HBOT ensures long-term oxygen delivery to healing tissues, particularly beneficial after orthopedic procedures.

Accelerate Your Body's Natural Healing With Pure Oxygen
A safe, scientifically proven and non-invasive therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen while sitting or lying in a comfortable, pressurized medical-grade hard chamber. Our expert team delivers personalized care for recovery, chronic wounds, inflammation, neurological conditions, and more – accelerating natural healing and performance.
HBOT for Orthopedic Surgery Recovery in Manhasset, NY
Post-surgical recovery presents unique challenges as bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons heal at different rates and require a sustained oxygen supply. Patients recovering from knee replacement, hip surgery, rotator cuff repair, or spinal procedures often benefit from HBOT’s ability to reduce recovery time and improve functional outcomes. The therapy also supports healing after plastic and reconstructive procedures in which proper wound closure and minimal scarring are priorities.
Long Island residents choose our Manhasset center for surgery recovery because we understand every procedure and patient requires individualized care. Our medical team designs treatment protocols based on your specific surgery type, overall health status, and recovery goals, ensuring you receive the appropriate number of sessions timed to maximize your healing response.

Preparing for Your Treatment
What is Medical-Grade HBOT?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven treatment that enhances healing by flooding the body with oxygen. Used for over 100 years, it supports brain health, anti-aging, athletic recovery, and medical conditions by boosting oxygen in blood, tissues, and organs. Patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, accelerating recovery and promoting cellular repair.
What conditions can be treated with HBOT?
HBOT is FDA-approved for 14 conditions like burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. Emerging research also supports its use for post-surgical recovery, brain injury, fatigue, inflammation, athletic recovery, and anti-aging. Our medical team will assess if HBOT is right for you.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?
Yes, HBOT is safe when properly supervised. At MD Hyperbaric, treatments are protocol-driven, medically overseen, and administered by certified staff. Our Medical Director and onsite Safety Director ensure every session is carefully monitored, and we continuously update our protocols based on the latest research to prioritize patient safety.
How long is each session?
Typically, most treatment sessions are approximately 60 minutes (some conditions may require up to 90 or 120 minutes). In addition to the actual treatment time, there is time required for the pressurization and depressurization of the chamber, which may add 20 minutes to the overall appointment. The exact duration will depend on your specific treatment plan and the pressure levels used, but you should plan for about 90 minutes for your visit.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated. Some patients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may require a more extended treatment plan. A typical protocol will involve 10-40 daily sessions to build up oxygen in the cells. Our Medical Director will recommend a specific treatment plan to address your goals and needs.
How should I prepare prior to a session?
Prior to treatment, please try to avoid alcohol or carbonated drinks. It’s best to avoid smoking and any other tobacco products during your treatment period, as they may interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen. This can directly affect the time it takes you to heal, and under no circumstance can you smoke 2 hours before or after a session. Otherwise, there are no restrictions for food or activity before or after your treatment. We encourage you to have healthy meals and stay hydrated.
What should I wear or bring to my session?
Most patients find HBOT sessions relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably in a 7½-foot-long steel chamber, breathing 100% pure oxygen through a mask. The oxygen has no smell or taste. During pressurization and depressurization, you may feel pressure changes, similar to airplane travel. A trained technician will monitor you throughout the session. You can sit or lie down inside the chamber, and afterward, you can resume normal activities, stay hydrated, and rest.
Why is a HBOT treatment session called a “dive”?
The term “dive” is used because the process simulates the experience of a deep-sea dive in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has deep roots in diving as it is an important therapy in treating divers that are experiencing “the bends”. In the context of hyperbaric, pressure is increased to levels greater than atmospheric pressure, similar to what divers experience underwater.
What type of hyperbaric chamber do you use?
At MD Hyperbaric, we use the FDA-cleared OxyHealth Fortius420—a spacious, hard-shell chamber delivering 100% medical-grade oxygen via mask. Operating up to 3.0 ATA, it allows tailored pressures (typically 2.0–2.4 ATA) and supports air breaks for added benefits. With three windows and a 7½-foot length, it ensures comfort and meets the highest safety standards.
What is the difference between hard-shell and soft-shell hyperbaric chambers?
At MD Hyperbaric, we use hard-shell chambers that deliver 100% medical-grade oxygen at higher pressures for superior therapeutic benefits. In contrast, soft-shell chambers operate at lower pressures without medical-grade oxygen, making them less effective for medical treatment.
How do I know if I’m eligible for HBOT?
Our team will assess your medical history and specific circumstances through an intake process and initial evaluation with our certified staff and Medical Director will determine your eligibility for HBOT.
Do I need a referral from a doctor to receive HBOT?
No referral is needed. Our Medical Director will review your intake forms and prescribe HBOT if appropriate. If you have a prescription from a provider, we’ll coordinate with them. For serious health conditions, we may recommend getting clearance from your physician.
Do you accept insurance?
HBOT is generally not covered by insurance, though most FSA/HSA plans allow reimbursement (check with your provider). MD Hyperbaric is an out-of-network provider, so patients pay out-of-pocket. If you have one of the 14 insurance-approved conditions, reimbursement may be possible. We can provide a superbill and receipt to help you submit a claim to your insurer.
