Infection of Skin and Bone (Severe)
Severe skin and bone infections—especially chronic or non-healing ones like osteomyelitis—are notoriously difficult to treat. Infections in these tissues often occur after surgery, trauma, or in patients with diabetes or compromised immunity. When blood flow is poor or bacteria form biofilms, antibiotics alone may not be enough.
How HBOT Improves Infection Outcomes
At Under Pressure, we use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a powerful adjunctive therapy to conventional treatments. It works by:
- Delivering high concentrations of oxygen to infected, oxygen-deprived tissue
- Enhancing white blood cell function, improving the body’s ability to kill bacteria
- Increasing antibiotic effectiveness, especially in stubborn or resistant infections
- Promoting angiogenesis and tissue repair to accelerate healing and reduce recurrence
HBOT is especially helpful in treating chronic osteomyelitis, infected surgical sites, and non-healing diabetic wounds.
Common Candidates for HBOT Include Patients With:
- Chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis)
- Infected surgical implants or bone grafts
- Deep soft-tissue infections unresponsive to antibiotics
- Recurrent diabetic foot infections with poor circulation

The treatment process
Initial consultation
Treatment Process
- Session Format: Most patients undergo daily treatments, 60-120 minutes per session, over 20–40 days.
- Monitoring & Reassessment: Infections are re-evaluated regularly with updated scans or lab tests.
- Integrated Approach: Sessions may be coordinated with wound cleaning or surgical procedures.
Preparing for your HBOT treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Clean and cover wounds before arrival.
- Bring recent lab and culture results if referred externally.
- Refrain from topical ointments with petroleum.
- Post-Treatment Instructions: Continue wound care protocol. Monitor for drainage, redness, or fever and report changes to staff.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT: Patients with uncontrolled blood sugar, untreated pneumothorax, or seizures may need special evaluation. All risks are reviewed before starting therapy.
Expected Outcomes
- Recovery Timeline: Noticeable reduction in pain, swelling, and drainage often occurs within 2–3 weeks.
- Long-Term Benefits: Increased tissue oxygenation supports long-term infection control, reduces risk of recurrence, and improves surgical outcomes in infected areas.
