CONDITIONS TREATED

Covered By Insurance

Many of the conditions below are commonly covered by insurance.*

Altitude Sickness

HBOT can support individuals experiencing acute altitude sickness by boosting oxygen levels and easing symptoms like headaches and fatigue.

Crush Injuries & Compartment Syndrome

HBOT decreases inflammation and enhances oxygen delivery to damaged tissue, aiding healing and recovery.

Enhancement of Healing in Selected Problem Wounds:

HBOT may support improved healing of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, by increasing oxygen delivery and stimulating tissue repair.

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections

HBOT can serve as an adjunctive therapy by improving oxygen delivery, supporting immune response, and aiding recovery.

Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis

For persistent bone infections unresponsive to standard treatment, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers concentrated oxygen to affected tissues, helping control infection and support bone healing.

Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps:

By increasing oxygen delivery to vulnerable tissue, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps support graft and flap survival, reducing the risk of tissue loss.

Severe Anemia

When blood transfusion is not possible, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can temporarily enhance oxygen delivery to tissues in cases of severe anemia.

Radiation-Induced Cystitis and Proctitis

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may help relieve symptoms of radiation-related bladder and rectal injury by improving tissue oxygenation and supporting healing.

Delayed Radiation Injuries (Soft Tissue and Bony Necrosis)

HBOT supports healing in radiation-damaged tissue by improving oxygen delivery, blood flow, and tissue regeneration.

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss *

When initiated early, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support hearing recovery by increasing oxygen delivery to the inner ear.
*NOT covered by Medicare or Medicaid, but approved by other insurances on a case by case basis.

Intracranial Abscesses

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics and support the body’s immune response in the treatment of brain abscesses.

Air or Gas Embolism

HBOT helps reduce the size of gas bubbles in the bloodstream, supporting effective treatment of air or gas embolisms that may occur during certain medical procedures or trauma.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

HBOT increases oxygen levels in the blood, helping displace carbon monoxide from hemoglobin and restore oxygen delivery to vital tissues.

Gas Gangrene (Clostridial Myonecrosis)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria and enhances the effectiveness of antibiotics, supporting treatment of gas gangrene.

Decompression Sickness (The Bends)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the primary treatment for decompression sickness, helping reduce nitrogen bubbles formed in tissues after rapid ascent.

*The conditions listed above are commonly covered by many insurance providers. However, coverage varies by individual policy, provider, medical necessity requirements, and prior authorization guidelines. We cannot guarantee insurance coverage or reimbursement for any service. Patients are responsible for verifying benefits directly with their insurance carrier prior to treatment. Our team is happy to assist with benefit verification upon request.

Exlporatory Conditions

The conditions listed below are not typically covered by insurance; however, treatment may be available on a cash-payment basis.

1 Torn Ligaments and Sports Injuries

By enhancing oxygen delivery to injured tissues, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support faster healing of torn ligaments and other sports-related injuries, helping patients return to activity more quickly.

2 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support recovery after TBI by reducing inflammation and promoting healthy brain function and neuroplasticity.

3 Spinal Cord Injuries

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is being explored for its potential to support healing and improve function after spinal cord injury by reducing inflammation and aiding tissue repair.

4 Lyme Disease

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help support the body’s immune response and reduce symptoms associated with Lyme disease.

Northern Nevada Hyperbarics is committed to providing evidence-based care. We offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy only for conditions that have been appropriately studied and shown to demonstrate clinical benefit. We do not provide treatment—or accept payment—for conditions that lack sufficient scientific support or realistic therapeutic potential with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

All treatment plans are determined through medical evaluation to ensure they are safe, appropriate, and supported by current research.

5 Migraine and Cluster Headaches

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine and cluster headache episodes for some individuals.

6 Fibromyalgia

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help reduce pain and improve overall quality of life in some individuals with fibromyalgia by enhancing oxygen delivery and decreasing inflammation.

7 Chronic Pain Syndromes

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support the management of certain chronic pain conditions by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.

8 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is being explored as a potential option to help improve energy levels and reduce symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.

9 Stroke Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been studied for its potential to support neurological recovery after stroke by improving oxygen delivery to affected areas of the brain.

10 Multiple Sclerosis

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been explored as a supportive option to help manage symptoms of multiple sclerosis by reducing inflammation and supporting nerve function.

11 Cerebral Palsy

Ongoing research is exploring whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help improve motor function and reduce spasticity in individuals with cerebral palsy.

12 Alzheimer’s Disease

Preliminary studies suggest Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support cognitive function by enhancing oxygen delivery to the brain.

13 Parkinson’s Disease

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is being investigated for its potential to help manage symptoms and support neurological health in individuals with Parkinson’s disease

14 Autism Spectrum Disorders

While research continues, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been explored for its potential to support cognitive and behavioral function in some individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

15 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Emerging research suggests Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help reduce symptoms in some individuals with PTSD who have not responded to traditional treatments.

16 Plastic Surgery Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may support faster healing and help reduce swelling and bruising after plastic surgery, contributing to improved recovery outcomes.

HBOT IN THE NEWS

The conditions, research, and emerging trends keeping HBOT at the forefront of modern health conversations.

A Rising Trend in Wellness & Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is stepping into the spotlight as a preferred modality among athletes, entrepreneurs, and public figures focused on longevity and performance.

By delivering concentrated oxygen to the body’s tissues, HBOT supports recovery, helps manage inflammation, and promotes cellular repair. Its growing presence in wellness circles reflects a broader shift toward proactive, performance-driven health strategies.

What Lebron James Says

COVID-19 Recovery Support

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been explored as a supportive therapy for individuals recovering from COVID-19, particularly in cases involving respiratory distress or reduced oxygen levels. By delivering oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure, HBOT may help increase oxygen availability in the bloodstream and tissues—supporting the body’s natural healing processes. While not a cure or replacement for medical treatment, it can be a valuable adjunct in recovery-focused care plans under professional guidance.

Long COVID Symptom Management

For individuals experiencing lingering symptoms after COVID-19—commonly referred to as Long COVID—HBOT has gained attention for its potential to support neurological and systemic recovery. Patients have reported improvements in symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and reduced cognitive function.

Emerging research suggests HBOT may promote neuroplasticity, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular repair, making it a promising option for those seeking relief from persistent post-viral effects.
