Understanding Hyperbaric Medicine
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can expedite the healing of certain types of chronic, non-healing wounds, such as diabetic wounds, as well as reduce patient suffering, disability, and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and amputations.
By delivering 100% oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure, this therapy enhances oxygen delivery to starved tissues, fights infection, and activates the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Medically Proven Applications of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Toronto
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is recognized by Health Canada, all provincial Ministries of Health and internationally for of the following conditions:
- Decompression sickness
- Air or gas embolism
-
Arterial Insufficiencies:
(a) Selected Problem Wounds (Diabetic ulcers)
(b) Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (sudden blindness) - Osteomyelitis (bone infections)
- Delayed Radiation Injuries
- Compromised grafts and flaps
- Sudden hearing loss
- Crush injuries
- Acute thermal burns
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Gas gangrene
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections (flesh-eating disease)
- Severe anemia
- Intracranial abscess
- Avascular Necrosis (Aspectic Osteonecrosis – hip)
How Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy in Toronto Delivers Healing from the Inside Out
Blood is comprised of red blood cells, containing hemoglobin and serum, a clear, colourless fluid. Oxygen is normally transported to the tissues by the red blood cells, by attaching to the hemoglobin. In patients with severe atherosclerosis and blood vessels partially or fully occluded by plaque, passage of red blood cells may be blocked. This results in tissue ischemia (lack of blood) and hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy saturates both the red blood cell hemoglobin and the serum with oxygen. Oxygen saturated serum can traverse some of these occluded vessels and supply badly needed oxygen to these tissues. While in a hyperbaric chamber, oxygen saturated serum can support life, even in the absence of hemoglobin. Patients with severe anemia (blood loss and/or low hemoglobin) can be successfully kept alive in a hyperbaric chamber until matched blood becomes available.
Hyperbaric oxygen increases the release of nitric oxide, which in turn causes the release of stem cells, which differentiate into blood vessels, skin and nerve cells. A single hyperbaric treatment in Toronto can double the amount of circulating stem cells. After twenty or more hyperbaric treatments, stem cells can be increased eightfold.
Hyperbaric oxygen also causes the release of growth factors in the blood including:
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)- binds to blood vessel walls causing new blood vessels growth
- Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) – regulates cell growth, division and angiogenesis
- Matrix Metallo-Proteinase (MMP- 2 & 9) – increases tissue remodelling and angiogenesis
- Tissue Inhibitor of Metallo- Proteinase (TIMP-1) – promotes cell proliferation

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment in Toronto - Beyond Wound Care
- Bactericidal/static (kills/suppresses) many of the bacteria responsible for wound infections, including those bacteria responsible for gas gangrene and necrotising fasciitis (flesh eating disease)
- Decreases the ischemia/Reperfusion injury often seen in crush injuries
- Decreases the lipid peroxidation injury in carbon monoxide poisoning which can result in irreversible brain damage.
- Saves failing skin grafts and flaps

Inside Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy in Toronto: How the Treatment Works
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves administering 100% oxygen to patients in a specially constructed chamber. The atmospheric pressure is increased two to three times normal for 90 minutes per session. This has the effect of:
- Increasing vastly the oxygen concentration of the patient’s blood.
- Saturating the wound with oxygen.
- Enabling cells to function that fight infection and repair wounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure in a specialized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, promoting healing in damaged tissues and fighting infections.
What conditions does HBOT treat?
HBOT is approved for several conditions including diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, osteomyelitis (bone infections), radiation injuries, sudden hearing or vision loss, carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene, crush injuries, and more.
Is the hyperbaric chamber in Toronto safe?
Yes, HBOT is a well-established, non-invasive treatment recognized by Health Canada. It is administered under strict medical supervision in a controlled environment with minimal side effects.
How long does a typical HBOT session last?
Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes. The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and your individual response to therapy.
What does it feel like during a session?
Most patients feel a slight pressure in their ears, similar to flying in an airplane. The experience is generally comfortable, and many patients relax, nap, or watch TV during treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies. Some conditions may improve with as few as 10 treatments, while others (like chronic wounds or radiation injury) may require 20–40 sessions. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your needs.
How much does a session of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy cost?
The cost per session range depends on the condition being treated and the number of sessions required. We offer personalized treatment plans and provide a cost estimate during your consultation.
Can I continue my regular medications and treatments during HBOT?
In most cases, yes. We’ll review your medications and medical history to ensure there are no contraindications and coordinate care with your existing providers.
