We prescribe the most essential nutrient to healing.
Celebrating more than 24 years of delivering evidence-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Atlanta to help advance healing in patients with medical complications approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Medicare, Workers’ Compensation, and other insurance plans.
HyOx Medical Treatment Center, an accredited clinical hyperbaric medicine facility (Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society in partnership with The Joint Commission), specializes in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and rehabilitation services in Atlanta, Georgia. Our board-certified hyperbaric medicine physicians safely prescribe and non-invasively deliver 100 percent oxygen as a drug with time and pressure limits to patients with complications from cancer (especially the delayed effects of radiation treatment), infection, trauma (including some sports injuries), and chronic wounds.
HyOx treats patients with the most natural and essential nutrient to good health and life: Oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered in Georgia’s largest multi-patient hyperbaric chamber at a pressure equivalent up to 45 feet below sea level. By breathing 100 percent oxygen under pressure, the treatment accelerates a patient’s ability to heal by supersaturating plasma with the oxygen needed to feed starving tissues and cells and jumpstart the body’s healing mechanisms.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a primary or adjunct treatment to other treatment modalities such as surgery, wound care and antibiotic therapy. When delivered in a timely fashion, the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy help achieve optimal clinical outcomes by preempting and resolving complications and, in some cases, salvaging limbs and preserving life.
Individualized hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment plans are prescribed based upon condition protocols, directives of the referring physician and results of a comprehensive hyperbaric medicine consultation and evaluation with Drs. Richard W. King or Marianne Taryla. Self-referred patients are common, yet most patients are referred to HyOx from multiple specialties including radiation oncology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, infectious disease, podiatry, orthopedic surgery, urology, vascular surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and more.
