WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (HBOT)?
Healing with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to increase the amount of oxygen delivered to bones and soft tissues. The FDA, Medicare and numerous private insurance companies approve it for numerous medical conditions.
How does HBOT work?
HBOT therapy works by increasing the amount of oxygen in the body. This increased oxygen level helps the body heal itself by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels and new tissue.
When cells get damaged
Oxygen, which heals cells, is normally transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. However, when the body’s cells are damaged, this may not be sufficient to heal them.
You need more oxygen
Oxygen is dissolved into all of the body’s fluids - the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and bone, and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked.
HBOT increases oxygen
One of the hyperbaric chamber benefits is that the increased oxygen enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria and viruses. It alsoreduces inflammationand stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and tissue.

What is the Chamber Like?
We have two types of chambers, to support your preferences:
Clear chambers
Where you lay on a gurney and we roll you into the chamber. You can see through the chamber and can watch a movie or listen to a podcast.
Metal chambers
Where you climb in and lay down. There is more room in these chambers, and you can move around a bit and stretch if you want to. Metal chambers have solid metal walls with small porthole windows that allow light to enter. You can cover these and sleep, or you can watch a movie through one of the windows, or listen to a podcast.
