Hyperbaric Centers of Texas was established in 2004 to treat both FDA approved indications and “off-label” (non FDA approved) indications that have been unavailable to patients, either due to lack of insurance coverage or to limited income.
Most of the “off-label” conditions have been studied quite extensively and have shown remarkable results with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Some of these conditions include: Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Sports Injuries, RSD and Cerebral Palsy.
