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?
HBOT changes the game by having you breathe 100% oxygen while the chamber is gently pressurized. Under that pressure, your blood can carry very high oxygen levels.
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:

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the HBOT treatment available?
The HBOT treatment is available at the UOC location in Lakewood Ranch.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
At UIC, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a non-invasive treatment where you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This helps increase the amount of oxygen your body can carry and deliver to areas that may be healing slowly or under stress.
How does HBOT work?
At UIC, we use HBOT to help increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood and other body fluids. This added oxygen may support tissue repair, circulation, inflammation management, infection-fighting, and the body’s natural healing response.
What does HBOT feel like?
At UIC, most patients describe HBOT as a comfortable and relaxing treatment. As pressure increases, you may feel fullness in your ears, similar to what you feel on an airplane. Our team will guide you through simple techniques to help relieve that pressure.
What happens during an HBOT session?
At UIC, your HBOT journey begins with a consultation and safety screening. If treatment is appropriate, our team creates a personalized plan based on your needs. During a session, you’ll rest comfortably in the chamber while breathing pressurized oxygen, and many patients choose to relax, listen to music, watch TV, or nap.
How many HBOT sessions will I need?
At UIC, the number of HBOT sessions depends on your condition, recovery goals, and response to treatment. Every plan is personalized, and some patients may benefit from a series of treatments scheduled over several weeks.
Is HBOT safe?
At UIC, patient safety comes first. HBOT is generally considered a safe, non-invasive treatment when proper screening and protocols are followed. Before treatment begins, our team carefully evaluates whether HBOT is appropriate for you.
Are there any side effects?
At UIC, most side effects associated with HBOT are mild and temporary when they occur. These may include ear pressure, temporary vision changes, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Our team monitors you closely and follows safety protocols designed to minimize risk.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for HBOT?
At UIC, candidacy starts with a consultation. Our team reviews your symptoms, goals, and overall health to determine whether HBOT may be appropriate for your situation. If it is, we’ll recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Is there anything I need to do before treatment?
At UIC, we’ll give you clear instructions before your first session. In general, we may ask you to avoid certain foods, drinks, alcohol, or smoking before treatment, and we’ll want to review your medications and supplements during your consultation.
What can I bring into the chamber?
At UIC, only approved items may be brought into the chamber for safety reasons. Our team will explain exactly what is and is not allowed, and we’ll provide any necessary clothing or materials for treatment.
What conditions can HBOT be used for?
At UIC, HBOT may be used in a variety of cases to support healing and recovery. Whether it is appropriate depends on your specific condition, symptoms, and goals, which is why we begin with an individual consultation and candidacy review.
Is HBOT covered by insurance?
At UIC, insurance coverage for HBOT depends on the condition being treated and your individual plan. During your consultation, our team can help you better understand whether coverage may apply and what next steps to take.
What’s the difference between covered and non-covered conditions?
At UIC, some HBOT uses may qualify for insurance coverage, while others may not. Coverage typically depends on the condition being treated and the details of your insurance plan. Our team can help explain what may apply in your case.
How is progress monitored?
At UIC, we monitor progress throughout your treatment plan. Our team evaluates how you’re doing over time so we can better understand your response and make sure your care stays aligned with your goals.
What should I do next if I’m interested?
At UIC, the next step is to schedule a consultation. That allows our team to learn more about your situation, answer your questions, and determine whether HBOT may be a good fit for your needs.
