Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Healing That Goes Beyond Conventional Care

At VSH Superspeciality Hospital

Modern medicine is evolving—not just to treat disease, but to accelerate healing itself. One such advancement is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a scientifically proven treatment that enhances the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate. At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, HBOT is integrated into patient care with precision, safety, and measurable outcomes.


What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a specially designed, pressurised chamber. Under increased atmospheric pressure, oxygen dissolves more efficiently into the bloodstream and reaches tissues that are otherwise deprived of adequate oxygen supply.

This oxygen-rich environment:

  • Enhances cellular repair

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Stimulates new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)

  • Accelerates wound healing

  • Improves immune response

Unlike conventional oxygen therapy, HBOT delivers oxygen at a therapeutic depth, enabling deeper and faster healing.


How the HBOT Machine Works

During an HBOT session:

  • The patient lies comfortably inside the hyperbaric chamber

  • Atmospheric pressure is gradually increased

  • The patient breathes pure oxygen for a prescribed duration

  • Oxygen reaches damaged tissues, even where blood flow is compromised

Each session is non-invasive, painless, and conducted under strict medical supervision.


Conditions Treated with HBOT

HBOT is not a one-size-fits-all therapy—it is a targeted medical intervention used across multiple specialties. Conditions commonly treated include:

Wound & Tissue Healing

  • Chronic non-healing wounds

  • Diabetic foot ulcers

  • Pressure sores (bed sores)

  • Radiation-induced tissue damage

  • Post-surgical wound complications

Neurological Conditions

  • Stroke recovery support

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

  • Cerebral hypoxia

  • Certain neurological rehabilitation cases

Vascular & Cardiac Support

  • Peripheral arterial disease

  • Compromised blood circulation

  • Ischemic injuries

Infections & Immune Disorders

  • Chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis)

  • Necrotising soft tissue infections

  • Non-healing infections resistant to antibiotics

Pulmonary & Systemic Conditions

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Decompression sickness

  • Air embolism

Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

  • Delayed fracture healing

  • Ligament and tendon injuries

  • Sports-related soft tissue damage

Oncology (Supportive Care)

  • Radiation injury to soft tissues and bones

  • Enhanced healing post-cancer treatment


Results That Matter: What Patients Experience

Clinical outcomes of HBOT at VSH Superspeciality Hospital often include:

  • Faster wound closure and tissue regeneration

  • Reduced pain and inflammation

  • Improved mobility and function

  • Lower risk of infection

  • Enhanced post-surgical recovery

Treatment plans are customised based on the patient’s condition, severity, and overall health—ensuring results that are both safe and sustainable.


Why Choose HBOT at VSH Superspeciality Hospital?

  • Advanced HBOT technology

  • Multidisciplinary medical supervision

  • Evidence-based treatment protocols

  • Integration with existing specialty care

  • Patient-centric, outcome-driven approach

HBOT at VSH is not offered as an alternative—but as a powerful complement to modern medical treatment.


A Step Forward in Healing

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy represents a shift from managing symptoms to activating recovery at a cellular level. At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, HBOT is part of a broader commitment: delivering advanced care that restores health, function, and quality of life.

If healing has slowed—or stopped—HBOT may be the catalyst your body needs to move forward again.
