What are the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

ANTI-AGING AND HYPERBARICS

While Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven effective therapy for a wide variety of conditions in which poor circulation, inflammation, tissue injury, or chronic infection play a role, its performance in anti-aging and wellness is impressive!

Aging has many factors. Body cell damage can be due to normal aging from the sequence of time; or from premature aging due to over exposure to environmental pollution, the sun’s rays, food chemicals, or overuse of drugs and alcohol; or from disease and physical injury. HBOT helps combat degenerative conditions by assisting the wounded cells of all organs of the body to promote health and beauty with the power of increased oxygen.

What Should I Expect During My HBOT Treatment?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy typically lasts approx. 75 to 90 minutes. Depending on individual goals, clients may benefit anywhere from 1 to 40+ sessions at a range of 1-5 sessions weekly based on a number of factors including acute or chronic issues. The hyperbaric chamber is upright so clients can sit comfortably in a chair that we have provided. You may bring a book, an Ipad to watch or listen to a movie or podcast, etc.

FAQ

Feel calm and confident for your first “dive”

There is very little sensation while undergoing HBO therapy. During pressurization, you will get a “fullness” buildup in your ears as a result of the pressure change. This feeling is similar to diving down to the bottom of a swimming pool, driving through the mountains or flying in a plane. The technician will show you how to relieve this fullness so that you can avoid discomfort during your treatment.

Once the treatment begins, you will hear a hissing sound as the chamber pressurizes. You may also notice a temporary increase in temperature during this compression. A technician will adjust the rate of compression according to your tolerance and coach you on relieving the full sensation in your ears. The compression phase of the treatment generally lasts about 10-15 minutes, depending upon how effective you are in clearing the pressure in your ears.

Once you are at the prescribed pressure in the chamber, your ear pressure sensation will go away. You should feel absolutely normal at this time. You may use your ipad, listen to music, sleep, or just rest during the remainder of the treatment.

At the end of your treatment, the pressure will gradually decrease as the chamber ascends over a period of 10-15 minutes. During this decompression, you will experience a popping sensation in your ears as a result of the decreasing pressure. This popping is a normal adjustment of pressure inside your ears.

What will happen if I get claustrophobic in the chamber and can’t stand it?

Before therapy is even considered, please let us know it you suffer from claustrophobia. If you severely struggle with it and cannot see yourself tolerating the chamber, HBOT may not be considered at all. However, if you are in the chamber and cannot tolerate the therapy, you can let your us know immediately. They can bring you down to pressure and take you out of the chamber. If you would like to work through your claustrophobia you may want to consider float therapy. Ask us about floating if you are interested.
