The Science

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

Under normal conditions, oxygen is carried through your body primarily by red blood cells. HBOT allows oxygen to dissolve directly into your plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids, dramatically increasing oxygen delivery to all tissues.

Enhanced Oxygen Delivery

Breathing pure oxygen under pressure dissolves 10-15 times more oxygen into your blood plasma, reaching tissues that red blood cells cannot.

Reduced Inflammation

HBOT has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, reducing swelling and promoting healing in damaged tissues throughout the body.

Stem Cell Mobilization

Research shows HBOT can increase circulating stem cells by up to 800%, supporting tissue regeneration and repair.

Angiogenesis

HBOT stimulates the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), improving blood supply to areas with compromised circulation.

Antimicrobial Effects

High oxygen levels are toxic to anaerobic bacteria and enhance the effectiveness of certain antibiotics.

Neurological Support

HBOT supports brain health by reducing neuroinflammation, promoting neuroplasticity, and enhancing cognitive function.

Your Experience

What to Expect During Treatment

1

Pre-Treatment Consultation

We'll review your health history, discuss your goals, and ensure HBOT is appropriate for your condition.

2

Chamber Entry

You'll enter our comfortable hyperbaric chamber. Our chambers accommodate you with room to relax, read, or rest.

3

Pressurization

The chamber gradually pressurizes to the prescribed level (typically 1.5-2.4 ATA). You may feel pressure in your ears similar to airplane descent.

4

Treatment Session

Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. You'll breathe normally while the increased pressure allows your body to absorb more oxygen.

5

Depressurization

The chamber slowly returns to normal pressure over about 10-15 minutes. You can resume normal activities immediately after.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?

Yes, HBOT is very safe when administered by trained professionals. It has been FDA-approved for various conditions since the 1960s. Side effects are rare and typically minor, such as temporary ear pressure or mild fatigue.

How many sessions will I need?

Treatment protocols vary based on your condition. Acute conditions may require 10-20 sessions, while chronic conditions may benefit from 40 or more sessions. We'll create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting cotton clothing. We'll provide specific guidelines about items to avoid (certain cosmetics, electronics, etc.) for safety during treatment.

Can I use my phone or read during treatment?

Electronic devices are not permitted inside the chamber due to the oxygen-rich environment. However, you can read, listen to music through our speaker system, or simply rest during your session.

What is the cost of HBOT?

We are a fee-for-service practice, which allows us to provide personalized care and flexible scheduling. We accept HSA/FSA payments and offer package pricing for treatment protocols. Contact us for current pricing information.
