A service of Sync Surgery Center
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for medical healing
HBOT is an established medical treatment for a defined set of conditions, and a therapy a growing number of people explore for others. At Sync, it's delivered under physician supervision inside an accredited surgery center — the same facility that uses HBOT in-house to support wound care, infection management, and surgical healing.
Recognized medical indications
Tier 1 — stated directly
HBOT is FDA-recognized and UHMS-approved for these conditions (see the full reference list on this page):
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps
- Non-healing problem wounds, including qualifying diabetic foot ulcers
- Delayed radiation injury (soft-tissue and bony necrosis following cancer therapy)
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis (persistent bone infection)
- Severe thermal burns
- Necrotizing soft-tissue infections and gas gangrene
- Crush injury and acute traumatic ischemias
- Carbon monoxide poisoning, air/gas embolism, decompression sickness
- Sudden sensorineural hearing loss; central retinal artery occlusion
- Severe anemia (when transfusion isn't possible)
- Avascular necrosis (newest recognized indication)
For these recognized uses, HBOT has established clinical evidence. Coverage note: Sync is out-of-network; see pricing for superbill and self-pay details.
