Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps your body heal. To work properly, the tissues in your body must have enough oxygen. If your tissues are injured, they need even more oxygen. The increased pressure in hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps your blood carry oxygen through your body, especially injured tissues. It also helps your white blood cells protect your body from infection.
How often should you do hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions usually last between one and two hours. We may schedule sessions once a week or five days a week for up to 30 or more total sessions depending on the treatment plan.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe for everyone?
No, some people shouldn’t receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It may be dangerous to receive it if you have:

A collapsed lung (pneumothorax).
A lung disease that may increase your risk of getting a collapsed lung, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and emphysema.
A fever or cold.
