HBOT and Infection Control
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Infection Control: A Natural Immune Boost

Fighting off infections—especially chronic or antibiotic-resistant ones—can be a daunting challenge. That’s where Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) steps in as a powerful, non-invasive tool to strengthen the immune system and combat harmful pathogens.
How HBOT Fights Infection
By flooding the body with oxygen under pressure, HBOT creates an environment where bacteria—especially anaerobic ones—struggle to survive. At the same time, white blood cells become supercharged, making them more effective at killing off bacteria.
Enhancing White Blood Cell Performance
HBOT increases the ability of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) to target and destroy pathogens. This effect is known as the "respiratory burst," and it relies on oxygen to fuel the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage and kill bacteria.
Neutralizing Bacterial Toxins
Some bacteria release endotoxins that cause systemic inflammation and damage. HBOT has been shown to reduce toxin levels by up to 40%, decreasing the severity of infections and making antibiotics more effective.
Clinical Success with Chronic Infections
Patients suffering from osteomyelitis (bone infections) or non-healing wounds infected with resistant bacteria have shown marked improvement with HBOT. In fact, studies reveal that combining HBOT with antibiotics can significantly improve infection resolution rates.
When Every Minute Counts: Severe Infections
Conditions like gas gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis require immediate intervention. HBOT has saved lives in these situations by slowing bacterial spread and supporting tissue recovery.
