HBOT for Post-Surgical Recovery in Charlottesville, VA

Medically supervised HBOT to support healing and enhance recovery after surgery

At Charlottesville Hyperbarics, our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) protocols are overseen by our Medical Director and delivered by certified technicians. HBOT is used as a supportive therapy to help your body recover after surgery by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing inflammation, and promoting the body’s natural repair processes.

How Surgery Impacts the Body

Surgical procedures, whether medical, orthopedic, dental, or cosmetic—can place stress on the body, leading to:

Swelling and inflammation
Bruising and minor tissue damage
Fatigue or reduced energy
Slower tissue regeneration

Providing your body with enhanced oxygen support through HBOT can help tissues recover more efficiently and may support a smoother post-operative healing process.

How HBOT Supports Post-Surgical Healing

During HBOT, patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen absorption into tissues. Clinically, this can help:

Reduce inflammation and swelling
Promote tissue repair and collagen production
Support wound and graft healing
Decrease risk of infection
Reduce post-operative discomfort
Support overall recovery and energy

HBOT is considered a supportive therapy and is used alongside standard post-operative care. It is not a substitute for your surgeon’s instructions or medications.

Common Post-Surgical Applications

Our patients have used HBOT to enhance recovery from a variety of procedures, including:

Cosmetic or plastic surgery (facelift, liposuction, tummy tuck, etc.)
Orthopedic or joint replacement surgery
Dental or maxillofacial surgery
Wound or skin graft healing
Sports or trauma-related surgery

If you’re unsure whether HBOT is right for your recovery, our team offers free consultations (virtual or in-person) to review your case and coordinate care with your physician.
