Facts About HBOT > Indications > Osteomyelitis  Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) OSTEOMYELITIS Patients with osteomyelitis, or infection of bone, are usually treated with antibiotics and surgical excision of the infected area of bone. Sometimes, however, the patient's underlying medical condition or the location of the infection precludes surgery. In these patients, when antibiotics alone have failed to achieve a cure, hyperbaric therapy has been used at Jacobi with good results. Jacobi Hyperbaric Center provides expert therapy for osteomyelitis (bone infection). Contact us to learn more about our hyperbaric oxygen treatments and to arrange for a consultation >>
