Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common degenerative bone disease that can be challenging to manage when a patient does not respond to or tolerate conventional treatment plans like estrogen replacement therapy, bisphosphonates, and vitamin supplementation. This case represents a 63-year-old woman with refractory postmenopausal osteoporosis, who demonstrated measurable improvement in her bone density and bone turnover marker serum C-terminal telopeptide after completing hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy\'s effect on bone regeneration and remodeling warrants further studies on its effectiveness on improving bone health and as an adjunctive therapy option in osteoporosis patients.
