In a hyperbaric chamber, the air pressure is increased so your lungs can gather more oxygen. That extra oxygen helps heal areas with a high need for oxygen but few intact blood vessels to get it there.
It helps dispel claustrophobia and isolation often associated with monoplane (single patient) chambers.

Boosts Brain Function
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that delivers pure oxygen under higher-than-normal pressure. It allows oxygen to be delivered to areas that do not have good circulation, including bone tissue and crush injuries.
Hyperbaric chamber benefits involve breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increased pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve into your bloodstream, potentially speeding healing and improving the body’s natural repair processes.
In histological studies of rats with traumatic brain injury, It has been found that HBOT boosts the formation and activity of Nissl-positive neurons in the hippocampal CA3 region. This is an area of the brain associated with memory and learning.
You will sit or lie comfortably in our clear plexiglass chamber during an hour-long treatment session. We have multiple chambers that can accommodate several patients simultaneously, and you will always be with trained medical personnel. You can nap, read, watch TV, or listen to music during the session.
Reduces Edema
HBOT helps blood vessels regenerate and expand, which reduces swelling. This allows wounds to heal and enhances the body’s ability to absorb and use antibiotics that kill bacteria.
Being inside a hyperbaric chamber might initially feel strange, but modern technology makes it an easy and relaxing experience. Patients always lie comfortably in a clear plexiglass tube with a technician in sight. They can watch television, listen to music, or chat with their treatment team.
Some people experience fullness in their ears due to the increased pressure, but they can equalize this by swallowing or yawning. A typical treatment lasts about one-and-a-half hours. Patients can also be treated for chronic conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, bone infections, failing skin grafts, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Strengthens Bones
The body’s tissues require oxygen to function, and the oxygen inside a hyperbaric chamber is at higher than normal pressure. It allows your cells to receive more oxygen than they could get, helping them heal faster and fight infection.
Patients who need HBOT most often have a wound that’s not healing or an infection. However, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, diabetic foot ulcers, and carbon monoxide poisoning are some of the other conditions treated with HBOT.
You lie down in a clear plastic chamber designed for one person, a monoplane unit, to use the therapy. You can listen to music or watch TV, but you’re not allowed to bring anything that generates heat (like lighters). For safety reasons, you must leave behind any jewelry, contact lenses, and hair products before entering the chamber.
Decreases Inflammation
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps decrease inflammation, which is a key to cellular recovery. Our bodies naturally create inflammation to heal tissue damage, but excessive inflammation can lead to long-term problems like rheumatoid arthritis and chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can increase the number of stem cells in circulation, which helps boost regeneration and healing abilities. The treatment can also increase the amount of oxygen carried to tissues and organs.
Oxygen is usually delivered by red blood cells to the tissues in your body. Still, areas with high needs for oxygen (like crush injuries or burns) have few intact vessels to deliver the oxygen. HBOT promotes the growth of new small blood vessels in these injured tissues, called neovascularization.
Patients may feel pressure in their ears during a treatment session, like flying in an airplane. This sensation can be relieved by swallowing, yawning, or other techniques.
Enhances Sexual Performance
In men who have erectile dysfunction, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help. This non-invasive treatment boosts oxygen levels in bodily tissues and promotes angiogenesis and new blood vessel growth.
HBOT involves sitting or lying in a pressurized chamber up to three times larger than a diving bell. Its air pressure is two to three times higher than usual, allowing the body and lungs to absorb more significant amounts of pure oxygen than they usually could.
Studies show that high-oxygen therapy enhances male genital microcirculation, which improves the movement of sperm and boosts penile blood flow. This results in better erections for men with erectile dysfunction. The Medical Program addresses underlying causes of low libido through nutritional coaching and physical and cognitive training, including a clinically tested hyperbaric chamber protocol.
