Introducing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at The Pain Clinic Naxxar


We’re thrilled to announce that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is now available at our newest Pain Clinic location at Balance Wellness in Naxxar. This safe and non-invasive treatment is now part of our integrated care approach for managing chronic pain and promoting healing from the inside out.


🌬 What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, flooding your body’s tissues with oxygen and triggering powerful healing responses. Sessions typically last around 60–90 minutes and are calm, relaxing, and fully supervised.


🩺 What Conditions Can HBOT Help With?

HBOT has been used successfully worldwide in a wide range of medical and wellness conditions. At The Pain Clinic, we focus on its use for chronic pain, inflammation, and soft tissue healing.
Here are just a few examples of how HBOT can help:

  • Fibromyalgia: Reduces pain, fatigue, and brain fog by lowering inflammation and improving oxygenation at a cellular level.
  • Chronic Low Back Pain: Improves circulation to spinal tissues, reduces inflammation, and helps repair soft tissue injuries.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: Helps decrease joint inflammation, oxidative stress, and supports immune system regulation.
  • Lumbar Disc Prolapse (Slipped Disc): Relieves nerve compression symptoms, supports nerve healing, and reduces swelling.
  • Post-Surgical Recovery: Enhances wound healing, reduces infection risk, and speeds up recovery after back or joint surgery.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Boosts energy levels and supports mitochondrial function.
  • Diabetic Ulcers and Poor Wound Healing: Promotes new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration.
  • Long COVID & Brain Fog: Improves oxygen delivery to the brain and reduces persistent fatigue and cognitive issues.

⚠️ When HBOT May Not Be Suitable

HBOT is not a one-size-fits-all solution and may not be suitable for all patients. It’s less effective in:

  • Structural spinal problems like scoliosis or spinal instability
  • Severe joint degeneration requiring surgery
  • Pain caused by psychological or emotional trauma alone

 

📅 How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Every person is different, but here’s a general guideline:

  • Fibromyalgia: 10–20 sessions
  • Low Back Pain: 10–15 sessions
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: 15–20 sessions
  • Lumbar Disc Prolapse: 15–20 sessions

Your progress will be monitored closely, and your plan may be adjusted depending on your symptoms and response.


💸 Pricing

  • 1 Session: €55

❗ Possible Side Effects

HBOT is safe for most people, but some may experience mild side effects such as:

  • Ear pressure or discomfort (similar to flying)
  • Mild fatigue or lightheadedness after the session
  • Rare: sinus discomfort, oxygen toxicity, or claustrophobia

Before starting therapy, our clinical team will assess your medical history to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for you.
