Frequently Asked Questions
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing air or enriched oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more efficiently and in much greater quantity into the bloodstream and tissues. Oxygen will not be a cure for disease, however, due to the many roles oxygen plays in our body it will help to support the body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation, and improving cellular function and tissue repair.
Other than the red blood cells that carry oxygen, every other cell in our body requires oxygen in order to produce energy and perform their many tasks. As a result, HBOT may benefit individuals with a wide range of medical and wellness goals, including recovery from injury, post-surgical healing, chronic inflammation, neurological concerns, and overall tissue health. A consultation with a qualified provider helps determine whether HBOT is appropriate for your specific needs.
HBOT supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms by improving oxygen delivery at the cellular level. When integrated thoughtfully into a care plan, it can be a powerful tool for healing, recovery, resilience, regeneration and long-term health.
Some individuals notice changes early in their treatment course, while others experience more gradual improvements. Response varies based on condition, severity, and individual biology.
Look for a clinic with experienced medical oversight, properly maintained equipment, clear safety protocols, and a team that takes time to understand your goals. Education, transparency, and patient-centered care matter.
Yes. Hard chambers are typically medical-grade and operate at higher pressures, allowing for 100% oxygen delivery. Soft chambers operate at lower pressures and are often used in wellness settings. Pressure level and chamber type can affect outcomes, which is why clinical guidance is important.
The number of sessions varies depending on your health concerns and health goals. The protocols are also personalized to meet your needs. Some people notice benefits within a few sessions, while others may require a longer course of care. Your provider will help create a personalized treatment plan.

HBOT has been studied for a wide range of conditions, with varying levels of evidence. The best way to determine potential benefit is through a consultation with a qualified provider who can review current research and your individual case.
Certain medical conditions may require additional evaluation or may temporarily or permanently prevent someone from undergoing HBOT. A thorough screening process helps ensure the therapy is safe for you. This is one of the reasons we require a consultation with a trained hyperbaric clinician before beginning your care.
Some HBOT treatments require a physician referral or prescription, depending on the indication and setting. Our team can help clarify what is needed based on your goals and medical history.
Most people find HBOT relaxing. You may notice pressure changes in your ears similar to flying in an airplane, which can be managed with simple equalization techniques. Many patients read, meditate, or rest during sessions.
Yes, Hyperbaric only uses increased pressure and increased oxygen which is well tolerated by both children and adults. Children can receive HBOT when clinically appropriate and under proper supervision. Pediatric use is evaluated carefully on a case-by-case basis.
Getting started typically begins with a consultation to review your health history and goals. From there, a personalized plan can be developed if HBOT is appropriate for you.
Most sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the protocol and chamber type. There are short term and long term benefits of hyperbaric therapy. Shorter term goals may only require 5-12 sessions while longer term protocols might require 40 sessions or more. Your personalized protocol will be developed with your provider based on your goals.
