Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Patients Suffering from Radiation Damage in Marin County: A Proven Path to Healing

At Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery, we work with patients every day who have completed cancer treatment—but are still dealing with the lasting effects of radiation.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like bladder pain, non-healing wounds, or jaw complications after radiation therapy, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you have options.

One of the most effective, evidence-based treatments available today is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Understanding Radiation Damage After Cancer Treatment

Radiation therapy is highly effective at targeting cancer—but it can also affect healthy tissue.

  1. Reduced blood flow

  2. Scar tissue formation (fibrosis)

  3. Chronic low oxygen levels

This condition affects approximately 5–15% of patients (Bennett et al., Cochrane Review).

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps You Heal

HBOT delivers 100% medical grade oxygen under slight pressure, coaxing the oxygen up to 4 times further into the tissues.

This supports healing by:

  • Stimulating new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)

  • Improving collagen production

  • Enhancing immune function

  • Restoring oxygen levels

What the Research Shows

Bone Damage (Osteoradionecrosis)

  • 30% higher likelihood of healing (Bennett et al., Cochrane Review)

  • Healing rates improved from 65% to 84%

  • Up to 94% success rates (Korambayil et al., 2020)

Radiation Cystitis

  • 86.8% complete resolution rate

  • 100% overall improvement (Dellis et al., 2017)

Soft Tissue Injury
