Orthopedic Surgery Recovery

Supporting Orthopedic Recovery When It Matters Most

Orthopedic surgery is designed to help you move more freely, feel stronger, and regain function after an injury or arthritis. However, recovery varies from patient to patient, and factors like pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced circulation can slow healing and delay your return to daily activities. Providing targeted support during this critical phase can significantly improve both the speed and quality of your recovery.

At Noah Clinics, we offer Medical-grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support orthopedic recovery. HBOT delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, increasing oxygen delivery to healing bones, joints, and soft tissues. This helps reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and promote a smoother, more efficient recovery.

Supported Orthopedic Procedures

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is commonly used to support recovery following many orthopedic procedures, including:

  • Joint replacements (knee, hip, shoulder)
  • Arthroscopic surgeries (ACL, meniscus, rotator cuff)
  • Spine surgeries and fusions
  • Fracture repair and non-healing fractures
  • Tendon and ligament repairs
  • Cartilage restoration procedures
  • Post-traumatic orthopedic injuries
  • Bone and joint infections

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps Healing

After orthopedic surgery, swelling and reduced blood flow can limit oxygen delivery to healing tissues. Hyperbaric Therapy increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream, allowing oxygen to reach injured areas more effectively and support healing from the inside out.

 Patients may experience benefits such as:

  • Reduced swelling and inflammation
  • Improved bone and soft tissue healing
  • Faster wound recovery
  • Support for pain reduction and mobility
  • Less disruption to rehabilitation and daily activities

HBOT also promotes new blood vessel growth, improving circulation to bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues, helping reduce the risk of delayed healing and complications.

Typical HBOT Treatment Recommendations

Treatment plans are tailored to your procedure and recovery goals. Typical recommendations include:

  • Minor procedures: 5–15 sessions
  • Moderate surgeries: 10–25 sessions
  • Complex or reconstructive surgeries: 20–40 sessions

Sessions are usually completed once daily, Monday through Friday, and may begin before or after surgery based on individual needs.

Why Choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy After Orthopedic Surgery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-supported way to enhance orthopedic recovery alongside your surgical and rehabilitation plan.

Patients choose HBOT to:

  • Support healthy bone and tissue healing
  • Reduce inflammation, pain, and stiffness
  • Improve circulation and recovery efficiency
  • Minimize downtime and delays in returning to normal activities

FAQs: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Orthopedic Recovery

  • What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and how does it help orthopedic recovery?

    HBOT is a medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Increased oxygen helps bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues heal faster, reduces inflammation, supports tissue repair, and can shorten overall recovery time after orthopedic surgery.

  • Which orthopedic procedures can benefit from HBOT?

    Hyperbaric oxygen can support recovery after joint replacements, arthroscopic procedures (like ACL or rotator cuff repairs), spine surgeries, fracture repair, tendon and ligament surgeries, cartilage restoration, post-traumatic injuries, and certain bone or joint infections.

  • When should I start HBOT after surgery, and how many sessions will I need?

    Treatment plans are personalized, but HBOT may begin shortly after surgery to support healing. Typical recommendations are:

    • Minor procedures: 5–15 sessions
    • Moderate surgeries: 10–25 sessions
    • Complex or reconstructive procedures: 20–40 sessions
      Sessions are usually once daily, Monday through Friday.
  • Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy safe, and are there any side effects?

    HBOT is a non-invasive, well-studied therapy with a strong safety record when administered by trained medical professionals. Most patients tolerate it very well. Mild side effects can include temporary ear pressure or mild fatigue, but serious complications are rare. Your Hyperbaric Physician will review safety and answer any questions during your complimentary consultation.
