Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Welcome
The Hyperbaric Oxygen Service of Albany Medical Center provides outpatient oxygen therapy as a medical treatment used in the treatment of a limited but diverse series of illnesses. For some disorders, it may be the primary treatment but it is often used as part of a combined program involving antibiotics and surgery.

Offering Innovative Technology and Advanced Procedures
The amount of oxygen that can be delivered to body tissues by the circulatory system increases significantly when delivered to a patient in a hyperbaric chamber. All of the benefits provided by hyperbaric oxygen therapy are the result of this extra oxygen being carried within the bloodstream.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy will provide you with one or more of the following effects:
- Increased oxygen delivery to the injured tissue
- Greater blood vessel formation
- Advanced wound healing
- Elimination of toxic substances
