What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which patients breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma and improve the body's healing capabilities.
Is hyperbaric therapy safe?
Yes, hyperbaric therapy is a non-invasive treatment that’s safe when performed under the supervision of trained professionals. It's been used for decades to treat various conditions and is FDA-approved for specific medical indications.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on individual goals and medical needs. Some patients benefit from a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment for optimal results. A consultation can help determine the best plan.
What should I expect during a session?
During a session, you'll lie comfortably in the chamber while it pressurizes. The experience is relaxing, and many patients bring a book, watch a movie, or simply rest.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare but may include mild ear discomfort from the pressure changes. Most people find the treatment to be comfortable and experience no significant side effects.
