What Is Hyperbaric Chamber Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

In a HBOT therapy session, patients are exposed to pressurized, hyper-oxygenated air in order to aid the body’s healing processes. When the human body becomes injured, stress, or ill it helps to compensate by increasing blood flow to certain affected areas. HBOT helps the body carry more oxygen in the cells to increase the rate of blood flow and oxygen and speed up the healing process.

Conditions Treated:

**conditions the FDA has approved and may be covered by for insurance.

While HBOT treatment has not been approved to treat the above conditions, in clinical studies patients showed a statistically significant increase in cerebral blood flow when using the chamber for post concussive symptoms, declined cognitive function, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Our office uses a Vitaeris 320 32” Chamber. This large, soft sided chamber allows a patient to sit or lay comfortably while inside. During a session a patient may choose to read, use their phone or other electronic device, or simply relax and let the body recover and rest while receiving the therapy.

*Use of deodorants and perfumes in the chamber is prohibited.*
