Feeling the "afterburn" of cancer treatment?
Radiation can be a lifesaver, but for many survivors, the battle doesn't end when sessions do. Sometimes, months or even years later, you might notice pain, non-healing wounds, or tissue changes. This is called Late Radiation Tissue Injury (LRTI).
Here is the science: Radiation can damage small blood vessels, making it hard for oxygen to reach the affected area. Without oxygen, your body's natural healing "engine" stalls out.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Think of HBOT as a deep, breath for your cells. By breathing 100% medical-grade oxygen in a pressurized chamber, we're able to:
✅Supercharge Healing: Flooding your tissues with 10-15 times the normal amount of oxygen.
✅Rebuild Blood Vessels: Stimulating "angiogenesis" (the growth of new vessels) to restore blood flow.
✅Fight Inflammation: Reducing swelling and pain in the damaged area.
✅Saves Tissue: Helping to heal radiation-induced damage in the bladder, bowel, or skin.
You've fought the big fight-you shouldn't have to live with the side effects. If you're struggling with persistent radiation damage, call Idaho Hyperbarics, Inc. 208-237-1151 for an evaluation with our doctors in house.
Radiation Tissue Damage is one of the conditions approved by the FDA and is generally covered by insurance.
