Chronic and slow-healing wounds affect more people in our Marietta community than most realize. Whether caused by diabetes, poor circulation, post-surgical complications, or injuries that simply won’t mend, these wounds can limit mobility, interrupt daily life, and create ongoing pain or infection risks. When a wound lingers, it’s not just the skin that suffers—your overall quality of life does, too.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we take a modern, technology-driven approach to healing. Our team believes in minimally invasive, least drug-dependent therapies that help your body do what it was designed to do: repair, recover, and regain strength. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is one of the advanced tools we use to safely accelerate wound healing and restore function—without relying on aggressive procedures or heavy medication.
Our mission has always been simple: to optimally restore your quality of life by combining cutting-edge treatments with compassionate, personalized care. Hyperbaric therapy is a perfect example of this philosophy in action.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that helps your body heal from the inside out. During HBOT, you relax inside a specialized pressurized chamber while breathing in 100% pure oxygen. This increased pressure allows your lungs to take in more oxygen than normal, delivering it deep into tissues that may be struggling to heal.
Inside the chamber, oxygen levels become so concentrated that your bloodstream carries significantly more oxygen to areas where circulation may be poor or where inflammation has slowed healing. This creates the ideal environment for cells to repair tissue, fight infection, and form new blood vessels.
HBOT is becoming more widely used in wound care centers across Georgia because of its consistent success in speeding up recovery times and helping patients avoid more invasive treatments. At our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center, patients have access to a state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber designed for comfort, safety, and maximum therapeutic benefit.
This therapy isn’t just advanced—it’s evidence-based, gentle on the body, and highly effective for wounds that have stopped progressing with standard treatments.
One of the most powerful benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is its ability to deliver oxygen to areas that are normally difficult for the body to reach. Inside the pressurized chamber, patients breathe 100% pure oxygen, allowing far more oxygen molecules to dissolve into the bloodstream than under normal conditions.
This oxygen-rich environment enhances the body’s core healing mechanisms. Cells repair faster. Collagen production increases. New blood vessels—essential for long-term tissue health—begin to form in a process known as angiogenesis. Metabolism inside the damaged tissue improves, giving the wound the vital resources it needs to restart the healing process.
Chronic wounds often remain “stuck” because inflammation persists longer than it should. The increased oxygen pressure during HBOT helps naturally reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels while still dramatically increasing oxygen delivery to the area.
As inflammation decreases, many patients notice improved mobility around the injured area and significantly less discomfort. This is especially meaningful for wounds located in the feet, legs, or joints—areas where swelling can interfere with daily movement.
Oxygen is one of the body’s strongest natural defenders against infection. HBOT creates an environment so rich in oxygen that harmful bacteria struggle to survive. At the same time, the therapy boosts the body’s immune response by strengthening white blood cell activity.
Hyperbaric therapy also enhances the effectiveness of certain antibiotics, making it an excellent addition to wound care plans when infection plays a role. For patients in Marietta who are battling stubborn or recurring infections, HBOT can be a critical turning point.
Another key benefit of HBOT is its ability to speed up wound closure. The therapy stimulates fibroblasts—cells responsible for creating new connective tissue—and encourages the release of growth factors that rebuild damaged structures.
For chronic non-healing wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and long-standing soft tissue injuries, HBOT has repeatedly shown success in restarting and completing the healing process. For many of our patients, this means avoiding more invasive procedures later.
Post-surgical healing—especially after orthopedic or spine procedures—depends heavily on oxygen delivery and tissue regeneration. Hyperbaric therapy helps strengthen fragile tissue, protect surgical sites, and reduce healing time. It also helps decrease swelling and discomfort, allowing patients to return to mobility and daily life more quickly.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, HBOT is often used to complement minimally invasive surgical care, ensuring patients have every advantage during recovery.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improves microcirculation—the small blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients directly into the injured tissue. This enhanced circulation helps revive wounds that have stalled because tissues were not receiving enough blood flow.
For patients with vascular disease, diabetes, or trauma-related circulation issues, HBOT can be the missing link that finally allows the wound to progress.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a powerful and versatile tool that supports healing for many conditions, including:
If a wound is painful, slow to heal, or not responding to traditional care, HBOT can often provide the oxygen boost needed to restart the healing process.
At our Marietta Ambulatory Surgery Center, patients benefit from a modern, comfortable hyperbaric oxygen chamber designed with safety and relaxation in mind. Every detail—from temperature control to visibility—supports a calm, stress-free experience while ensuring optimal therapeutic pressure and oxygen delivery.
Hyperbaric therapy becomes even more effective when integrated into Medici’s comprehensive healing model. We often combine HBOT with:
These therapies work synergistically, giving patients the layered support needed to heal faster and more completely. Our approach is always tailored, personalized, and focused on long-term results—not temporary relief.
Every HBOT treatment at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine is supported by a compassionate team led by Dr. Sonny Dosanjh. Our interdisciplinary group of providers works together to create healing plans that are least invasive, least drug-dependent, and optimized for your comfort and recovery.
From your first consultation to your last treatment session, our team is here to listen, support, and guide you with genuine care and clinical expertise.
Starting hyperbaric oxygen therapy should feel reassuring, simple, and comfortable—never intimidating. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect.
When you arrive for your session, our clinical team reviews your treatment plan and makes sure you’re comfortable. You’ll then be guided into the hyperbaric chamber, where you’ll relax as the pressure gradually increases. During the session, you simply breathe normally while the chamber does the work, delivering high concentrations of oxygen to your bloodstream.
Most patients describe HBOT as peaceful and surprisingly calming. You can rest, listen to music, or simply relax. As the chamber pressurizes, you may feel a gentle fullness in your ears—similar to ascending in an airplane—which the staff helps you equalize easily.
A standard hyperbaric oxygen session lasts about 60–90 minutes. Because it’s noninvasive and painless, many patients find it to be a welcome break in their day.
Depending on the type and severity of the wound, patients may need anywhere from 10 to 40 sessions. Your provider will create a personalized plan based on how your tissue responds and how quickly your wound begins to improve.
Your safety is always our top priority. Throughout the session, our trained staff closely monitors oxygen levels, pressure settings, and your comfort. The chamber is designed to meet rigorous medical standards, and you are in communication with our team at all times.
HBOT at Medici is not just effective—it’s safe, supportive, and delivered with the highest level of clinical oversight.
