What Is HBOT?

A Simple And Non-Invasive Treatment That Expedites Recovery

HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) involves breathing in oxygen pressurized by up to 3 times higher than normal oxygen pressure.

    Non-Invasive

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that boosts the body’s natural healing processes by having the patient inhale 100% oxygen within a full-body chamber, where the atmospheric pressure is carefully increased and regulated.

    Powered By Oxygen

    Normally, oxygen is carried through the body exclusively by red blood cells. However, with HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all bodily fluids, including plasma, central nervous system fluids, lymph, and even bone.

    Heal Faster

    This allows additional oxygen to reach all damaged tissues, enabling the body to support its natural healing process. The elevated oxygen levels significantly boost the ability of white blood cells to eliminate bacteria, reduce swelling, and promote the rapid growth of new blood vessels.

The goal of
HBOT

is to increase oxygen levels in the blood and all other tissues of the patient’s body so it can trigger the generation of molecules and other compounds that promote healing and assist in treating various diseases

The human body requires a certain amount of oxygen to function. Typically, oxygen in the air, which is about 21%, is sufficient for survival. However, more oxygen is helpful to the tissues when the body is injured or falls ill.

Breathing in oxygen at room air is not enough for the body to trigger a fast healing process and assist in treating diseases. Therefore, HBOT increases the percentage of oxygen through a hyperbaric chamber to 99% to ensure that more blood cells and tissues are exposed to oxygen and its beneficial effects.

FAQ

  • No, HBOT is not a treatment that can work alone to treat diseases. Its primary role is to assist a broader treatment plan as an adjuvant procedure that accelerates the healing process. Do not use HBOT as a replacement for medical treatment.

  • No, HBOT is not for everyone. For example, people who recently had ear surgery, a cold or fever, or lung problems should not use HBOT.

  • You will receive instructions from your healthcare provider before an HBOT procedure. A gown will be provided for you to wear during the treatment. Items that generate heat, such as battery-powered devices, are not allowed. Petroleum-based hair and skin care products may also need to be removed because they pose a fire risk.

  • During an HBOT procedure, the air pressure you breathe is about 3 times higher than usual. As a result, your ears will experience a temporary feeling of fullness due to this. You might experience something like this while flying or at a high altitude. After an HBOT procedure, your healthcare provider will check if you get any side effects by looking into your ears and eyes and measuring your blood pressure. Once the checking is complete, you can leave immediately.

  • The healing rate varies between 85% and 95% in patients who follow their physician’s advised course of treatment.

  • HBOT lasts about two hours in most conditions. Your healthcare provider will keep an eye on you the whole time to ensure that there will be no problem as the procedure proceeds.

  • HBOT requires multiple sessions to be effective, depending on your condition. For example, three visits may be necessary for some situations, such as carbon monoxide poisoning. Others, such as wounds that do not heal, may need more than that.

  • Depending on a few factors, such as the number of sessions and the location of services, the cost of an HBOT treatment often ranges from $250 to $600.
