What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a safe way to get increased oxygen into the body at cellular level by using a pressurized air chamber.

Oxygen is essential!

Under normal circumstances, only the red blood cells carry oxygen. Since hyperbaric oxygen therapy forces oxygen into the body under pressure, oxygen dissolves into all of the body's fluids. Oxygen is essential; it feeds the body, supports the immune system, destroys toxic substances, and promotes new cell growth. It is our primary source of energy and is needed for the proper operation of all major systems.

How does treatment work?

You can go into the chamber fully clothed. It is recommended to wear loose comfortable clothing, so we will provide you with scrubs to wear. After getting in the chamber, it will begin to fill with air. Once it is expanded to its fill size, it will begin to pressurize. While pressurizing your ears will feel the change of pressure, a lot like being on an airplane. You will need to equalize the pressure by clearing your ears. Once the chamber is fully pressurized you may sleep, read, listen to music, etc. When it comes time to depressurize, the chamber will feel the same as pressurizing and once again you will have to clear your ears. Treatment will take an average of 80 minutes, approx up to 10 minutes to pressurize and 10 minutes to depressurize and 60 minutes of treatment time with the chamber fully pressurized.

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effect is discomfort to the ears and sinuses caused by the pressure changes. To help with this you can clear your ears by swallowing, yawning, or the valsalva maneuver.

The hyperbaric chamber has been reported to have beneficial effects for a wide range of conditions w/out any side effects. As with many treatments, however there are areas of concern. You should not go into the chamber if you have a sinus infection, head cold, or virus. We will go over any contraindications with you before getting into the chamber.
