Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Bryan/College Station, TX

Now Accepting New Patients

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that delivers 100% pure, medical grade oxygen under increased pressure to promote faster healing and reduce inflammation. At Third River Health, we offer HBOT in BCS, to help patients with chronic wounds, radiation injuries, severe infections, and more. We are the only center in the College Station area that offers one person HBOT chambers for privacy and individualized treatments.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

During a HBOT session, patients enter a pressurized chamber where they breathe in pure oxygen. This treatment dramatically increases oxygen levels in the blood, which:

Enhances tissue regeneration and repair
Reduces swelling and inflammation
Increases collagen production for stronger skin and tissue
Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)

Strengthens the immune system to fight infections.

Common Conditions Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a powerful, evidence-based treatment used to accelerate healing, reduce infection, and improve outcomes for a variety of complex medical conditions. At Third River Health, we utilize HBOT to treat conditions that are difficult to heal with traditional therapies, including:

Chronic Wounds & Ulcers

Chronic Non-Healing Diabetic Wounds & Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Persistent wounds of the lower extremities caused by diabetes that fail to heal with standard treatment.
Arterial Ulcers
Wounds caused by poor blood flow from narrowed or blocked arteries, often associated with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Venous Ulcers
Open sores typically occurring on the lower legs due to impaired venous circulation and chronic swelling.
Acute Peripheral Arterial Insufficiency
A sudden reduction in blood flow to an extremity that can lead to tissue damage, ulcers, or limb loss if untreated.

Traumatic & Acute Injuries

Acute Traumatic Peripheral Ischemia
Sudden loss of blood supply to an extremity following trauma, increasing the risk of tissue death and limb loss.
Crush Injuries
Severe injuries caused by prolonged pressure on tissues, often resulting in swelling, oxygen deprivation, and delayed healing.
Burns
Thermal injuries where HBOT can help reduce swelling, fight infection, and support tissue repair.

Infections & Bone Conditions

Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis (CRO)
A persistent bone infection that does not respond to antibiotics or conventional therapies.
Gas Gangrene (Myonecrosis)
A rare but life-threatening bacterial infection that rapidly destroys muscle tissue.
Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
Severe, fast-spreading infections such as necrotizing fasciitis that cause extensive tissue damage.
Actinomycosis
A rare bacterial infection that leads to abscesses and deep tissue involvement.

Radiation-Related Injuries

Surgical & Reconstructive Support

Neurologic & Sensory Conditions

What to Expect During HBOT Treatment
