What HBOT does to help
What is Refractory Osteomyelitis?
Refractory osteomyelitis is a persistent or recurrent bone infection that fails to respond to conventional treatments, such as antibiotics and surgical intervention. This condition is characterized by chronic inflammation, pain, and potential bone damage. It often occurs due to an initial infection that has not been completely eradicated, leading to ongoing symptoms and complications. The condition requires a comprehensive treatment approach, often incorporating advanced therapies like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve infection control and support the healing process.
Treating Bone Infections with Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an effective treatment for bone infections, particularly refractory osteomyelitis. This advanced therapy increases oxygen levels in the blood, which helps to fight infection, speed up healing, and promote tissue repair. By enhancing oxygen delivery to the wound site, HBOT supports the body's natural healing processes and improves the effectiveness of antibiotics. This treatment is crucial for managing chronic bone infections, reducing inflammation, and restoring bone health.
