When Standard Treatments Have Failed
(Takes 2 minutes • No commitment required • OHIP coverage verified)
Specialized protocols for complex cases where standard treatment has plateaued
Bone infections resisting antibiotics require oxygen-driven cellular intervention. HBOT increases oxygen diffusion into infected bone.
High blood sugar impairs healing. These wounds need oxygen-driven tissue regeneration to accelerate closure and prevent amputation.
When grafts don't take, it's due to poor vascularization. HBOT stimulates new blood vessel growth beneath failed tissue.
Radiation scars tissue permanently unless treated with angiogenesis-stimulating therapy. Early intervention prevents progression.
When caught early, HBOT can restore hearing by reversing hypoxia in the inner ear. Time is critical—weeks, not months. *Coverage varies.
Deep burns need oxygen penetration to prevent infection and accelerate healing. HBOT reduces infection risk and healing time.

Ongoing Integration
Our physicians are certified in hyperbaric medicine with 15+ years of experience treating complex wound cases and refractory conditions.
All our treatments are Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) approved for covered conditions. We handle pre-authorization and billing directly.
State-of-the-art chambers meeting hospital-grade sterilization and OSHA-compliance standards with automated safety monitoring systems.
30+ years of clinical research. 14 FDA indications. 2,500+ peer-reviewed publications supporting HBOT efficacy and safety.
No one-size-fits-all protocols. Your treatment is customized to your condition, health status, healing goals, and OHIP coverage status.
We communicate regularly with your referring physician and care team to ensure integrated, seamless care without gaps.
Yes! OHIP covers hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple proven indications.

HBOT has an excellent safety profile when administered correctly.
Most patients experience NO side effects. A small percentage may experience:
Serious complications are extremely rare (<0.02%) when protocols are followed. Our physician monitors all sessions continuously and stops treatment immediately if ANY discomfort occurs.
Timeline varies significantly by condition and individual factors:
Faster Results (Weeks 2-4):
Moderate Timeline (Weeks 4-8):
Longer Timeline (8-16 weeks):
Timeline depends on your overall health, treatment compliance, and integration with other therapies. We'll set YOUR realistic timeline during consultation.
You're not alone—about 15% of our patients express claustrophobia concerns.
Our Approach:
Patient feedback: Many claustrophobic patients report: "It was nothing like I feared. I felt totally safe."
No referral is required for an initial consultation.
However, here's what happens:
The reality: In many cases, your referring physician will be relieved you're pursuing evidence-based HBOT—it often accelerates the outcomes they're also targeting and improves your overall prognosis.
Initial Consultation: 90 minutes (includes comprehensive evaluation)
Ongoing Sessions:
What You Do During Sessions:
Workplace scheduling: Many patients schedule morning sessions (6-9am) to minimize work disruption. Our scheduling team is flexible and works around YOUR availability. We can also accommodate evening sessions when needed.

What it is: Bone infection resistant to antibiotic therapy, typically lasting >6 weeks and complicated by poor blood supply to affected bone.
Why HBOT Works: Antibiotics penetrate bone at only 10-20% of systemic levels. HBOT increases oxygen diffusion by 1,200%, enabling antibiotics to reach deeper bone tissue. It also stimulates osteoblasts (bone-building cells) and reduces the inflammatory cascade perpetuating infection.
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~85% of patients achieve bacterial clearance with HBOT + antibiotics. You'll continue your current medications—HBOT is adjunctive to your existing care plan.
OHIP Coverage: 100% of session costs covered for approved osteomyelitis cases.
What it is: Non-healing wounds on feet/lower legs in diabetic patients, typically caused by peripheral neuropathy, reduced circulation, and impaired immune function.
Why HBOT Works: High blood sugar impairs fibroblast function (collagen/tissue production). HBOT bypasses damaged vasculature by delivering oxygen directly to tissue, stimulates new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), and enhances white blood cell function.
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~70% of diabetic foot wounds close with HBOT + optimal wound care. Healing speed depends on A1C control, circulation status, and offloading compliance.
OHIP Coverage: 100% of session costs covered for approved diabetic wound cases.
What it is: Partial or full thickness skin grafts or flaps that fail to integrate or revascularize after reconstructive surgery.
Why HBOT Works: Grafts fail due to insufficient vascularization at graft-bed interface. HBOT triggers angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) beneath the graft, improves oxygen diffusion through the graft tissue, reduces edema that compromises viability, and enhances collagen remodeling for better integration.
Timing Matters: Best outcomes when started within 2 weeks of graft failure. Still effective up to 6 weeks post-failure (mechanism changes, but viable).
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~80% of failed grafts show measurable improvement. ~65% avoid revision surgery with early HBOT intervention.
OHIP Coverage: 100% of session costs covered for approved failed graft cases.
What it is: Progressive tissue damage from cancer radiotherapy, manifesting as fibrosis (scarring), poor wound healing, or recurrent infections 6+ months post-radiation.
Why HBOT Works: Radiation damages microvascular endothelium (small blood vessels), triggering hypoxia-driven fibrosis (progressive scarring). HBOT reverses hypoxia by providing oxygen directly to tissue and stimulates neovascularization (repair of damaged vessels).
Prevention vs. Treatment:
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~70% of radiation-damaged tissue shows measurable improvement. Prevention is far more effective than treatment after fibrosis develops.
OHIP Coverage: 100% of session costs covered for approved post-radiation cases.
What it is: Rapid-onset hearing loss in one or both ears (>30dB loss over <3 days) without obvious cause, typically from inner ear hypoxia or viral injury. This is a medical emergency.
Why HBOT Works: Inner ear has the highest oxygen demand of any organ. Sudden loss of blood flow causes rapid hypoxia, leading to hair cell death. HBOT restores oxygen to ischemic tissue within hours/days, reduces inflammatory cascade damaging delicate hair cells, and can reverse hypoxia before permanent damage.
⚠️ TIMING IS CRITICAL:
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~60% achieve 80%+ hearing restoration with early HBOT. ~20% achieve partial restoration (30-50%). ~20% show minimal improvement.
OHIP Coverage: Variable coverage—we assess eligibility. Don't wait; call immediately if you experience sudden hearing loss.
ACTION NOW: If you've experienced sudden hearing loss, don't wait—call immediately. Even if it's been a few weeks, some recovery may still be possible.
What it is: Thermal (heat-related) burns ranging from deep partial-thickness (2nd degree) to full-thickness (3rd degree) injuries requiring aggressive wound management and infection prevention.
Why HBOT Works: Deep burns have severely compromised blood supply (coagulated vessels). HBOT oxygenates burned tissue at risk of converting to deeper necrosis, reduces infection risk (antibiotics penetrate better), accelerates re-epithelialization (new skin growth), and reduces contracture formation (excessive scarring).
When HBOT is Most Effective:
What to Expect:
Realistic Expectations: ~75% of burn patients show accelerated healing with HBOT. Contracture formation reduced by ~40%. Scar appearance improves significantly with early HBOT intervention.
OHIP Coverage: 100% of session costs covered for approved thermal burn cases.
