See the healing progression of hyperbaric oxygen therapy patients.

At HyOx, a hyperbaric oxygen treatment center in NW Atlanta (Marietta near Truist Park), board-certified physicians in the medical sub-specialty of hyperbaric medicine carefully track healing progress for the benefit of our patients, referring physicians and other care providers in regular clinical progress notes. We present the following individualized case studies taken from progress notes chronicling HyOx’s hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment protocols and clinical outcomes for complications from cancer, infections, trauma, and wounds. The case studies show the advanced healing power in patients in compliance with their prescribed treatment regimen.

(Controlled case studies are a challenge in the field of hyperbaric medicine and virtually impossible since so many variables exist in each patient case. Also, securing funds to undertake rigorous clinical studies is difficult because hyperbaric oxygen therapy can’t be patented like a new drug.)
