How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
During hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), patients inhale pure oxygen while enclosed in a hyperbaric chamber. The elevated pressure within the chamber enhances the lungs’ ability to absorb more oxygen, which is then transported throughout the body. This process significantly boosts oxygen delivery, promoting faster healing, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the immune system.
The number of hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions required varies based on the specific medical condition being treated, typically ranging from 3 to 40 sessions. Each hyperbaric treatment session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, with chamber pressure set between 1.5 and 2 ATA, depending on the treatment objectives.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offers numerous health benefits, including:
- Enhanced Oxygen Delivery: HBOT increases oxygen supply to body tissues up to 25 times the normal amount, effectively reversing hypoxia.
- Stronger Immune System: The therapy bolsters the immune system, aiding in the fight against infections.
- New Blood Vessel Growth: HBOT stimulates angiogenesis, promoting the growth of new blood vessels.
- Accelerated Cell Production: Increased oxygen levels boost cell production and repair.
- Improved Wound Healing: HBOT enhances the healing of wounds and repair of damaged tissues.
- Reduced Inflammation: The therapy helps decrease inflammation, swelling, and edema.
- Microbial Balance: HBOT possesses anti-microbial properties that balance the body’s microbiome.
- Increased Energy: Patients often experience a boost in energy and a reduction in fatigue.
- Reversed Brain and Nerve Injuries: HBOT can reverse the effects of traumatic and ischemic brain and nerve injuries.
- Optimized Healing: The therapy supports optimal wound healing processes.

Top Reasons to Consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Top Reasons to Consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be utilized both pre- and post-surgery to enhance healing and minimize complications. Pre-surgical HBOT prepares the body by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and increasing growth factor production. Post-surgical HBOT accelerates healing, alleviates pain and swelling, and lowers infection risk.
HBOT is beneficial for recovering from sports injuries and traumatic brain injuries. By delivering increased oxygen to injured areas, the therapy promotes tissue repair, reduces pain, and alleviates swelling.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also popular for wellness and anti-aging purposes. The enhanced oxygen delivery can improve athletic performance, reduce stress, increase energy levels, and combat fatigue, leading to overall better health and well-being.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and heightened sensitivity to stimuli. HBOT can alleviate these symptoms by addressing the underlying central nervous system disorder, reducing pain and improving quality of life.
Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to the peripheral nerves, causing tingling, burning, and shooting pain. HBOT can help manage these symptoms by promoting nerve repair and reducing discomfort.
Long COVID refers to persistent symptoms following recovery from the acute phase of COVID-19. HBOT can aid in managing these symptoms, improving patient health and recovery.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is marked by extreme fatigue that worsens with activity. HBOT can help manage CFS by boosting energy levels and reducing fatigue, enhancing patient quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Frequently Asked Questions About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combines elevated ambient pressure with high oxygen concentration to significantly increase blood oxygen levels. This enhances oxygenation of tissues lacking sufficient oxygen, promotes new blood vessel growth, and supports tissue repair and healing.
During a consultation, patients will undergo a history and physical examination by a physician to determine the suitability of HBOT. The doctor will discuss treatment options and may order necessary tests to ensure HBOT is appropriate for the patient.
A typical HBOT session includes several stages:
- Compression: The chamber is pressurized to the prescribed level, up to 2 ATA. Patients may feel pressure in their ears during this phase and can control the pressurization rate.
- Oxygen Breathing: In the multiplace chamber, patients breathe 100% oxygen through a mask or hood while the chamber maintains the set pressure.
- Decompression: After the oxygen period, the chamber is depressurized, completing the treatment session.
Session lengths vary based on the condition treated, typically lasting between 60 to 120 minutes.
The number and frequency of treatments depend on the condition. Pre-surgical programs may involve daily sessions for a few days before surgery, while other programs might require up to 40 sessions spread over several months.
Insurance coverage for HBOT varies. Some conditions are covered under “on label” uses, while “off label” uses may not be covered. Patients should check with their insurance provider for specific coverage details.
The cost for HBOT sessions is as follows:
- 60 minutes up to 2 ATA: $150 per session
- 90 minutes up to 2 ATA: $200 per session Discounts are available for multi-session packages or when combined with other services.
Patients should avoid flying for 24 hours following an HBOT session.
Antioxidant use before HBOT depends on individual sensitivity to oxidation. Some patients may benefit from pre- or post-treatment antioxidants if they experience fatigue or headaches.
Patients will change into a medical gown and paper shorts for the session. Alternatively, light-colored cotton clothing can be worn.
The chamber is pressurized with air, and oxygen is delivered via a mask worn throughout the session, with each patient having their own mask.
