Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Denver
Advanced oxygen therapy in Denver to support healing, recovery, and brain health — delivered through our partnership with the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute.
At a Glance
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Longevity Medical Denver partners with the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute in Louisville, Colorado, to connect patients with focused, experienced hyperbaric care, with treatment protocols tailored to your specific health goals.
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process through inhalation of 100% oxygen in a chamber where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. Under pressure, your blood carries significantly more oxygen than it would breathing normal air — HBOT delivers up to 15 times more oxygen to your tissues than typical room-air breathing.
This increased oxygen supply does real physiological work: it stimulates new blood vessel growth, supports collagen production, helps the body fight infection, and activates dormant cellular repair processes. The treatment itself is safe, painless, and comfortable, with few side effects.
Our partnership with Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute
Longevity Medical Denver partners with the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute (RMHI) in Louisville, Colorado, to connect our patients with focused, experienced hyperbaric care. RMHI specializes in HBOT for both chronic wound care and brain injury recovery. Following your consultation with us, if HBOT is recommended, we’ll coordinate your referral to RMHI, where your sessions will take place under the direction of their Medical Director.
FDA-Cleared Uses vs. Off-Label Applications
The FDA has cleared hyperbaric oxygen therapy for a specific list of conditions. For other uses — including recovery support following traumatic brain injury, a primary focus of our partner institute — HBOT is considered off-label, meaning it is used based on clinical judgment and emerging research rather than a formal FDA-approved indication.
| FDA-Cleared Indications | Off-Label / Not FDA-Cleared |
|---|---|
| Air or gas embolism | Traumatic brain injury / concussion recovery |
| Carbon monoxide poisoning | Post-traumatic stress disorder |
| Decompression sickness | Long COVID |
| Crush injury / compartment syndrome | Autism |
| Severe anemia | Alzheimer's disease |
| Gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis) | Lyme disease |
| Chronic, non-healing wounds & diabetic foot ulcers | Cancer |
| Delayed radiation injury | General anti-aging / wellness use |
| Compromised skin grafts or flaps | |
| Acute thermal burns | |
| Necrotizing soft tissue infections | |
| Refractory osteomyelitis | |
| Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss | |
| Central retinal artery occlusion |

Some patients pair hyperbaric oxygen therapy with stem cell therapy to further support healing and tissue oxygenation during recovery.
