Charlottesville Hyperbarics provides urgent access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for patients experiencing sudden, severe, or medically complex conditions. HBOT is a clinically established treatment for several emergent conditions, many of which are covered by insurance and Medicare.

Our team works quickly to evaluate your case and initiate treatment, prioritizing conditions that benefit from immediate intervention.

Conditions Commonly Treated

These conditions are typically covered by Medicare and major insurance providers, including:
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Complete and unexplained hearing loss, typically in one ear. HBOT can improve oxygenation to the inner ear, potentially restoring hearing when started promptly.
Radiation Injury
Tissue damage from radiation therapy (e.g., radiation cystitis or proctitis). HBOT promotes angiogenesis and long-term tissue repair.
Severe Skin & Bone Infections
Including osteomyelitis, which has not responded to conventional treatment.
Non-Healing Wounds
Such as diabetic foot ulcers. HBOT accelerates tissue regeneration and reduces the risk of amputation.
Sudden Vision Loss
Painless, sudden vision loss in one eye due to retinal artery occlusion. Early HBOT may preserve or restore vision.

For these time-sensitive conditions, the earlier HBOT begins, the better the outcome.
