Recovering from Surgery, Injury, or Concussion?

The HBOT treatment is available at the UOC location in Lakewood Ranch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
