Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Want to know if HBOT is for you?
What HBOT is
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment where you breathe 100% oxygen inside a specialized chamber that is pressurized above normal atmospheric pressure.
When pressure increases, oxygen dissolves more readily into the blood plasma, allowing oxygen to reach areas with reduced circulation and supporting tissue repair.
Why increased oxygen matters
If we look at everyday life, you normally breathe air that is about 21% oxygen, and most healthy people carry oxygen in the blood at about 95% to 100% saturation. That is usually enough for routine needs.
HBOT changes the game by having you breathe 100% oxygen while the chamber is gently pressurized, often around 3 ATA (atmospheres absolute). Under that pressure, your blood can carry far more oxygen than usual. You might see this described in medical terms as very high oxygen levels, sometimes reported as over 2,000 mmHg.
In simple terms, this means your body has extra oxygen on board to send into areas that are stressed, inflamed, or slow to heal. That extra oxygen can help the body:

How HBOT has evolved
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has expanded into a physician guided medical treatment for complex healing problems, including certain non healing wounds, radiation related tissue injury, and serious infections.

Surgery
- Surgical optimization and recovery: support for healing and recovery, including tissue repair needs such as non healing wounds, compromised grafts and flaps, and crush injury or acute traumatic ischemias.
- Plastic surgery recovery: support for healing after reconstructive or elective procedures, with a focus on tissue recovery and safe return to activity.
- Urology related conditions: support for complex tissue injury, including delayed radiation tissue injury and related problems (for example radiation cystitis).
- Infertility: supportive, coadjuvant care in selected contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does HBOT feel like
How many sessions will I need
It depends on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Some problems improve in 20 to 30 sessions, while complex wounds or radiation related tissue injury may require 40 or more. We review progress at regular checkpoints.
