Post Radiation Treatments: Healing with Hyperbaric Oxygen
Healing After Radiation: Advanced Care for Damaged Tissues
Radiation therapy plays a vital role in cancer treatment, but it can also cause lasting harm to healthy tissues—sometimes surfacing months or even years later. Damage from radiation may lead to scarring, reduced blood flow, and chronic inflammation in areas like the bladder, intestines, muscles, bones, and skin.
At Healing With Hyperbarics, we specialize in treating delayed radiation injuries through hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This evidence-based treatment delivers high levels of oxygen to compromised tissue, promoting regeneration, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the growth of new blood vessels..
We commonly treat radiation-related conditions such as:
Osteoradionecrosis (bone damage)
Radiation cystitis (bladder tissue damage)
Radiation proctitis (rectal tissue damage)
Soft-tissue fibrosis
Delayed wound healing after radiation
Your Recovery Journey
Consultation
Your care begins with a consultation with our team, where we review your medical and radiation history. This session allows us to assess your symptoms and determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the right approach for you.
Treatment
Each hyperbaric session lasts approximately two hours and takes place in a calming, comfortable setting. Most treatment plans involve daily sessions, Monday through Friday, for several weeks—tailored specifically to your condition. Most post-radiation indications require 40 hyperbaric treatments.
Results That Matter
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recognized by the FDA for its effectiveness in treating certain post-radiation injuries. Patients report improved healing, reduced symptoms, and restored function in damaged tissues—proof of HBOT’s life-changing potential.
Insurance Support and Accessibility
Many insurance providers—including Medicare—offer coverage for HBOT when treating radiation-related injuries. Our administrative team is here to help you understand your benefits and guide you through the approval process, so cost doesn’t stand in the way of your recovery.
