The FDA cleared hyperbaric chamber therapy for a range of injuries and chronic conditions through a process known as oxygen therapy.

The cells in your body require oxygen to heal, withstand infections, and perform basic cell functions. Oxygen is the primary ingredient for cellular respiration (cells converting nutrients into energy), allowing them to power cellular activity. Without oxygen, the tissues in your body cannot efficiently carry out necessary functions, leading to fatigue, brain fog, or even gradual organ damage.

The standard air we breathe contains approximately 21% oxygen, with the remaining 78% composed of nitrogen and other trace gases. Our hyperbaric chamber in Greenwich supplies pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber for maximum O₂ absorption.

There are 14 distinct applications of our hyperbaric chamber in Greenwich that have received formal clearance from the FDA.

While research has demonstrated the potential of these chambers in addressing a wider range of health issues, the strongest scientific evidence and endorsement backs these on-label uses. This ensures that clients benefit from treatments that are not only pioneering but also rest on a solid foundation of clinical validation and safety assurance.

The 14 on-label conditions cleared for hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:

• Air or gas embolism: Bubbles of air in blood vessels, which can block blood flow
• Carbon monoxide poisoning: Inhalation of carbon monoxide gas that leads to toxic effects
• Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene): A bacterial infection producing gas in tissues
• Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias: Conditions where blood flow to areas of the body is reduced or blocked
• Decompression sickness: Also known as “the bends,” a condition affecting divers who ascend too quickly
• Arterial insufficiencies: Includes central retinal artery occlusion and enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds
• Severe anemia: When the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues
• Intracranial abscess: An accumulation of pus due to an infection in the brain
• Necrotizing soft tissue infections: These are infections that cause tissue death
• Osteomyelitis (refractory): A bone infection that is difficult to treat with standard antibiotics alone
• Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis): damage to tissue or bone that occurs as a side effect of radiation therapy
• Compromised skin grafts and flaps: When a skin graft or flap is not receiving enough blood flow
• Acute thermal burn injury: severe burns that might benefit from increased oxygen delivery to the tissues
• Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: Sudden, unexplained loss of hearing
