Sports-Related Injuries

HyOx treats complications from orthopedic, sports-related injuries specifically to the bones, muscle and ligaments, i.e., ACL/MCL partial tears and postoperative repairs and fracture injuries. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a beneficial adjunctive treatment to increase tensile and bone strength and help prevent future complications and injury.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy benefits amateur and professional athletes at any age and level post injury or orthopedic surgery by its ability to:

  • Increases joint function by decreasing swelling (aids not only healing, but endurance and performance).

  • Delivers oxygen to oxygen-deprived areas to vastly increase optimal tissue oxygen levels to restore cell function to expedite the healing process in muscles, bones, joints, and tendons (increases tensile strength).

  • Regenerates collagen fibers post ACL reconstruction with its creation of new blood flow at the tendon graft-bone junction.

  • Promotes fracture healing or nonunion fracture to reduce recovery time.

 

WHEN TO REFER TO HYOX:

  • Immediately, post-injury or surgery. The treatment is covered by Workers’ Comp, most private insurances and Medicare. Self-pay also is available.
