Benefits and medical assessment

Clinical Benefits of the Hyperbaric Chamber

Hyperbaric oxygen can help in selected medical conditions. The expected benefit depends on the diagnosis and treatment plan. At HMCE Estepona, the first step is to assess whether it is suitable for you.

What can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with?

MedlinePlus describes uses in selected non-healing wounds and radiation injuries, among other conditions. Each case needs a diagnosis and an individual treatment plan.

Selected hard-to-heal wounds

It may be considered for some diabetic foot ulcers that have not responded adequately to usual care. It forms part of wound management, rather than replacing it.

Tissue damage after radiotherapy

Some radiation injuries may be assessed for hyperbaric treatment. The affected tissue, symptoms and previous care determine the approach; benefit cannot be assumed for every patient.

Questions after an operation

If you are considering a session after surgery, discuss the specific reason with your surgical team. Our guide explains the distinction between postoperative oxygen and hyperbaric treatment.

These examples are not a diagnosis or a complete list of indications. HMCE reviews each enquiry before proposing a treatment programme.

How do we assess the possible benefit in your case?

Start with the question you need answered: what problem are we treating and how will progress be assessed? Tell the team about your diagnosis, current treatment and previous reports.

  • Ask what the intended clinical objective is.
  • Discuss your medical history, medication and safety questions before booking.
  • Confirm the proposed schedule, reviews and total cost.

For enquiries about sport, well-being, fibromyalgia or neurological conditions, ask specifically about the evidence and limitations for that purpose. HMCE does not promise a fixed recovery time or the same result for everyone.
