Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Also known as: HBOT, Hyperbaric chamber, Oxygen therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber at 1.5 to 3 times normal atmospheric pressure. This dramatically increases oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular regeneration.

How It Works
At increased pressure, oxygen dissolves more readily into blood plasma, reaching tissues that may have compromised blood flow. This triggers release of growth factors, stem cells, and supports collagen production and wound healing.
What It Addresses
This treatment is commonly used for the following health goals and conditions:
Typical Protocol
Sessions last 60-90 minutes at 1.5-2.4 ATA pressure. Protocols range from 20-40 sessions depending on indication. Wellness applications typically use milder pressures (1.3-1.5 ATA) with 10-20 session protocols.
Evidence & Research
FDA-approved for 14 conditions including decompression sickness, wound healing, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Growing evidence for cognitive benefits and anti-aging applications, though more research is needed for wellness indications.
Potential Considerations
Potential Risks
Ear and sinus discomfort during pressure changes. Rare risks include temporary vision changes, oxygen toxicity seizures (extremely rare at wellness protocols), and claustrophobia.
Contraindications
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Untreated pneumothorax
- Certain chemotherapy drugs
- Severe COPD
- Recent ear surgery
