Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber or room. During HBOT sessions, the atmospheric pressure is increased to levels higher than sea level, allowing the lungs to gather more oxygen than would be possible at normal air pressure.
This increased oxygen delivery to the body’s tissues and organs promotes healing and enhances the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate.

This increased oxygen delivery to the body’s tissues and organs promotes healing and enhances the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy capitalizes on the physiological effects of increased atmospheric pressure and elevated oxygen levels to optimize tissue oxygenation, enhance healing processes, and support the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
Breathing pure oxygen under pressure increases the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream. This elevated oxygen saturation enables tissues and organs to receive higher oxygen levels, even in areas with restricted blood flow.
HBOT induces vasoconstriction in oxygen-deprived tissues, reducing swelling and inflammation. This process helps mitigate tissue damage and promotes healing in wounds and injured areas. Additionally, hyperoxygenation enhances the body’s ability to fight infections and accelerates the repair of damaged tissues.
Oxygen-rich environments created by HBOT inhibit the growth of anaerobic bacteria and promote the activity of white blood cells, enhancing the body’s immune response to infections.
The elevated pressure forces oxygen molecules to dissolve more readily in the plasma, bypassing the usual limitations of red blood cells. As a result, tissues receive oxygen more effectively, promoting cellular function and metabolism.
HBOT stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells, which play crucial roles in tissue repair and regeneration. By promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and collagen synthesis, HBOT aids in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and recovery from injuries.
HBOT is particularly effective in alleviating tissue hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), which occurs in conditions such as decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. By supplying oxygen at higher pressures, HBOT helps alleviate hypoxia-related symptoms and promotes cellular viability.
During an HBOT session, you will breathe 100% oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber or room. The session typically lasts for about 60 to 90 minutes, during which time you may experience sensations of fullness in your ears and changes in pressure similar to flying in an airplane.
Our chamber are pretty roomy inside. You will be sitting in a recliner chair and most people find the experience relaxing.
The number of HBOT sessions required depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual response to treatment. Some conditions may require a series of sessions spread out over weeks or months, while others may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions.
Comfortable yet tight-fitting clothes are best. If your clothes are too loose, as the device compresses, the fabric can bunch and be uncomfortable.
Insurance coverage for HBOT varies depending on the specific condition being treated, insurance provider, and policy terms. Some insurers may cover HBOT for approved medical conditions, while others may consider it experimental or elective and may not provide coverage.
When performed by trained healthcare professionals and in accredited facilities, HBOT is considered safe. However, it may have risks and contraindications, such as ear barotrauma, oxygen toxicity, and confinement anxiety. These risks are minimized through proper screening, monitoring, and adherence to safety protocols.
