Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
- Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe way of supplying more oxygen to the body at the cellular level.
- HBOT provides the best environment for the body to handle vital cell processes, therefore improving the capacity for the bodies potential to heal itself.
- HBOT uses filtered pressurized ambient air in order to dissolve oxygen into the body system, flooding tissues and essential organs with oxygen.
Is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?
- YES! The hyperbaric oxygen chamber uses filtered ambient air, therefore there is absolutely no danger of oxygen toxicity to the body even with regular use.
- The chamber can be depressurized and opened from the inside.
- When inside the chamber, both visual and verbal communication are possible with the outside.
- People report a comfortable, soothing experience and emerge from the chamber feeling refreshed.
- This therapy is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and there are no dangerous side effects reported.
How Does it Work?
- The mild hyperbaric oxygen chamber is filled with ambient air pressurized to 4 pounds per square inch. This is equivalent to about 11 feet below sea level.
- The enhanced pressure enables the body’s plasma and other essential fluids to absorb additional oxygen, increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of the body.
- The body utilizes oxygen for vital cell functions. Healthier cells equal healthier tissues and organs.
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may help any condition that will benefit from increased tissue oxygenation and reduced inflammation.

What can I expect to happen during my Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session?
The chamber will seem smaller when deflated than when fully pressurized. Within a couple of minutes, it will inflate completely, enabling enough room for 1-2 adults to sit upright. After the chamber inflates, it will begin to pressurize. This is when you may experience some pressure in your ears equivalent to flying in an airplane. For those who experience this sensation, it typically lasts a few minutes.
How Long Does a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session Last?
The sessions last 55 minutes.
What Can I Do During My Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session?
- Listen to music
- Talk on your cell phone
- Play handheld games
- Enjoy movies on your portable device
- Work on laptop
- Read or Sleep
How Frequently Should I Schedule My Hyperbaric Therapy Sessions?
We will recommend you based on your needs after your initial consultation.
