Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy — A New Milestone at the Hallwang Clinic

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is gaining increasing recognition as an evidence-based addition to integrative cancer care. With the installation of its own hyperbaric chamber, the Hallwang Clinic now offers this treatment directly on site in Dornstetten — while simultaneously strengthening the HBOT network in Germany.

HBOT supplies tissues with highly concentrated oxygen under elevated pressure — typically two to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This accelerates natural healing processes and enhances the effectiveness of established treatments such as radiation therapy.

Mechanism of Action and Patient Benefits

Studies show that patients benefit in multiple ways: tumors become more responsive to radiation, side effects such as fibrosis or pain are reduced, wounds heal faster, inflammation subsides, and the immune system is strengthened. The therapy has shown particular potential in cases of breast, prostate, and head and neck cancers. Many patients also report faster recovery after surgery, reduced fatigue or neuropathy, and a noticeably improved quality of life overall.

However, it is important to note: HBOT is not a stand-alone cancer treatment, but rather part of a broader, evidence-based integrative approach. “Complementary oncology, with its holistic perspective, consistently leads to significant improvements in patients’ overall condition, reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and greatly enhances quality of life,” emphasizes Dr. Jens Nolting, specialist in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the Hallwang Clinic.

New Hyperbaric Chamber at the Hallwang Clinic

To more fully integrate these benefits into patient care, the Hallwang Clinic has installed a state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber. HBOT is now available directly in Dornstetten — embedded within a personalized treatment concept that responsibly combines conventional and complementary therapies.

With the launch of its new chamber, the Hallwang Clinic is also making an important contribution to the expansion of the HBOT network in Germany. As a specialized oncology center in the Black Forest, the clinic offers a new point of access for patients wishing to benefit from this therapy.

A Leading Destination for Patients from Around the World

The Hallwang Private Oncology Clinic is one of the leading international centers for integrative cancer care. As a highly specialized facility, it provides international patients — seeking the highest standards of discretion and personalized support — with access to cutting-edge immunotherapies and precision-based treatments.

In selected individual cases, the clinic also implements evidence-based off-label therapies — always in alignment with international guidelines such as those of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and only following careful medical evaluation.

This approach is driven by a multidisciplinary team of board-certified oncologists who continuously assess new scientific findings and innovative methods — integrating them responsibly into clinical practice. Close collaboration with university hospitals and independent research institutions ensures the highest standards of quality and safety.
