What is HBOT?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber at 1.4–3.0 ATA. At elevated pressure, your blood plasma carries dramatically more oxygen — accelerating natural healing processes throughout the body.

The Science Behind HBOT

HBOT works by dissolving oxygen directly into blood plasma, reaching tissues where red blood cells cannot. This triggers angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), reduces inflammation, and stimulates stem cell release up to 8-fold.

What to Expect in a Session

You'll lie or sit comfortably in a clear or windowed chamber. As pressure builds, you may feel slight ear fullness (similar to airplane descent). Breathe normally, relax, watch a movie, or take a nap. Sessions last 60–90 minutes.

Safety & Contraindications

HBOT is very safe when properly administered. Contraindications include untreated pneumothorax, certain chemotherapy drugs, active upper respiratory infections, and severe COPD. Our centers screen every patient before therapy.

The Process

How HBOT Works in Your Body

💨

Increased Pressure

Chamber pressure is increased to 1.4–3.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute) — equivalent to diving 13–66 feet underwater.

🩸

Oxygen Dissolves

100% oxygen at high pressure dissolves directly into blood plasma, increasing oxygen delivery by up to 15x normal.

🧬

Cellular Healing

Tissues receive abundant oxygen — triggering stem cell release, new blood vessel formation, and rapid wound repair.

🔄

Long-Lasting Effects

Even after the session ends, healing benefits continue for hours through reduced inflammation and tissue regeneration.

Pressure Protocols

Understanding ATA Pressure Levels

Different conditions require different pressure levels. Here's a quick guide to the standard HBOT pressure protocols:

1.4–1.8 ATA

Mild Pressure

Wellness, anti-aging, cognitive enhancement, mild brain injury, sports recovery

2.0–2.4 ATA

Standard Medical

Diabetic wounds, radiation injury, chronic infections, compromised grafts, osteomyelitis

2.5–3.0 ATA

High Pressure

Emergencies: carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, gas embolism, gas gangrene
