Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes by delivering concentrated oxygen in a pressurized environment, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, promoting enhanced oxygenation and cellular healing.

As you inhale the enhanced oxygen, your blood carries it throughout your body. This protects you from harmful bacteria and stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells, two microscopic components that encourage and speed up healing.

• Is Mild HBOT safe?

  Yes, HBOT is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as ear discomfort during pressure changes.

• How does HBOT work?

  By breathing pure oxygen under pressure, your blood can carry higher amounts of oxygen, helping damaged tissues heal faster and supporting your body’s natural repair processes.

• What should I expect during a session?

  Sessions are conducted in a comfortable chamber. You can relax, listen to music, or even nap while breathing pure oxygen. You will feel pressure changes similar to airplane takeoff and descent as the chamber pressurizes and depressurizes.

• How long does a treatment session last?

  Most sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. Please allow for an additional 10-15 minutes to get settled and for pressurization.

• How many sessions will I need?

  Some conditions can be treated in just one or several sessions, while others may require a bundle.

• Does the treatment hurt?

  Mild HBOT is non-invasive and painless. You may experience slight ear discomfort as the chamber pressurizes, similar to changing altitude in an airplane.

• Can I bring personal items into the chamber?

  With our chamber it is safe to bring in phones or iPads. Lighters or other flammable items are not allowed.

• What should I wear during the treatment?

  Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended. Avoid wearing perfumes, lotions, or makeup, as they can interfere with the chamber’s environment.

• Are there any side effects?

  Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as ear discomfort, fatigue, or lightheadedness. Serious side effects like oxygen toxicity are extremely uncommon.

• How soon will I notice results?

  Many patients notice improvements immediately in their first session, while others may require multiple sessions to experience significant improvements.

• Can Mild HBOT help with general wellness?

  Yes, many patients report enhanced energy levels, better focus, and improved overall well-being after undergoing HBOT.

• Does Mild HBOT treat neurological conditions?

  HBOT has shown promising results for conditions like traumatic brain injuries, stroke recovery, and even cognitive improvement in certain cases.
