Yes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses pressured oxygen to help wounds heal faster. Patients breathe 100 percent oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure while lying in a hyperbaric chamber. Treatments typically last 90 minutes.
HBOT is highly effective and safe. By significantly increasing the level of oxygen in the bloodstream, it helps to:
boost the body’s natural healing process
stimulate the growth of new blood vessels
reduce swelling and inflammation
aid in the fight against infection
Good luck for your hip replacements.
