Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
A controlled medical therapy that increases the amount of oxygen available to the body and may support healing for selected conditions.
How hyperbaric oxygen therapy works.
During treatment, you breathe oxygen while resting inside a chamber where the air pressure is increased under medical supervision.
The additional oxygen carried in the bloodstream may help support tissue repair, reduce swelling in certain situations, and improve the body’s response to selected injuries or infections.
HBOT may be considered for:
What to expect during a session.
Clinical screening
Your medical history and condition are reviewed to determine whether HBOT is appropriate and safe for you.
Comfortable treatment
You rest inside the chamber while the pressure changes gradually under trained supervision.
Ongoing monitoring
Your response and wound progress are reviewed throughout the prescribed treatment course.
Common questions about HBOT.
Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy hurt?
Treatment is generally non-invasive. Some people notice ear pressure similar to flying in an airplane, especially while pressure is changing.
How many sessions will I need?
The number and frequency of sessions depend on the diagnosis, treatment goals, response, and your physician’s plan.
Is HBOT suitable for everyone?
No. A medical evaluation is required because certain health conditions, medications, or circumstances may affect eligibility.
Will insurance cover treatment?
Coverage varies by diagnosis and insurance plan. The clinic can help explain the information commonly needed for authorization.
