What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that helps your body heal by breathing 100% pure oxygen inside a specially designed pressurized chamber. Under normal conditions, your blood carries oxygen using red blood cells. But in a hyperbaric chamber, the increased air pressure allows much more oxygen to dissolve directly into your plasma (the liquid part of your blood). This extra oxygen travels deeper into tissues, even reaching areas with reduced blood flow, giving your body the resources it needs to repair and regenerate.
How It Works
-
The Pressurized Environment – Inside the chamber, the air pressure is increased to 1.5–3 times higher than normal.
-
Pure Oxygen Breathing – You breathe 100% oxygen, allowing your blood plasma to carry up to 20 times more oxygen than normal.
-
Enhanced Healing – The oxygen-rich plasma reaches injured or inflamed tissues, which can reduce swelling, fight bacteria, and help trigger your body’s natural repair processes.
Benefits of HBOT
-
Reduces Inflammation – Oxygen helps calm swelling and supports recovery from injury or illness.
-
Supports Healing – Stimulates new blood vessel growth and tissue repair.
-
Fights Infection – High oxygen levels help your body fight bacteria more effectively.
-
Boosts Energy – Improves oxygen delivery to most cells, helping you feel more energized.
Conditions Supported by HBOT
HBOT is used in hospitals, sports medicine, and wellness clinics worldwide to support recovery from:
​
-
Neurological disorders (stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc.)
-
Chronic wounds and diabetic ulcers
-
Post-surgical recovery
-
Pain and inflammation
-
General health and wellness
​
In simple terms:
Think of HBOT as giving your body a supercharged boost of oxygen — like fertilizer for your cells — so it can heal, fight, and grow stronger from the inside out.
