Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to promote healing in damaged tissues. Originally developed for treating diving injuries, HBOT is now widely used to support recovery from chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation damage, nerve pain, and more. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, HBOT is a key part of our minimally invasive care philosophy — designed to accelerate healing without drugs or surgery.
But this innovative therapy isn’t just about technology — it’s about people. Specifically, the highly trained professionals who administer and monitor each treatment session. That’s where a certified hyperbaric technician (CHT) becomes essential.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we don’t take shortcuts with your care. Every HBOT session is supervised by a certified hyperbaric technician and overseen by one of our board-certified physicians. From day one, you’ll be supported by a team that understands your condition, monitors your progress, and communicates with clarity and compassion.
