What is HBOT and How Does It Work?

Fighting a cold or battling an injury from work or working out? You may want to consider the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. HBOT can speed up your recovery and help you enjoy better health and wellness on the whole. So, what is HBOT and how does it work? Let’s take a closer look. 

What is HBOT? 

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, supports optimal body function by supplying you with pure oxygen. To achieve this, you’ll climb into a hyperbaric chamber that’s then pressurized with two to three times the normal amount of oxygen. This helps your cells heal and strengthens your immune system by killing harmful bacteria. 

HBOT has historically been used to treat the symptoms of decompression sickness from diving and carbon monoxide poisoning. But the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are quite a bit less niche. Healthy Life Chiropractic recommends HBOT as an effective form of treatment for conditions including Chron’s disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Because it promotes higher oxygen levels in the blood, it’s also generally a great tool for recovery and promoting better health and wellness. 

How Does HBOT Work? 

Enjoying the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is fairly simple. When you visit HLC for an HBOT appointment, we’ll guide you into a hyperbaric chamber. Once the procedure begins, you’ll notice an increase in air pressure levels, which may cause your ears to pop like they would if you’re flying on a plane. 

After 10 minutes, pressurization will be complete and you can spend the rest of your session relaxing, reading, or napping. Your HBOT treatment should take between 30 minutes and an hour. In the final 10 minutes, the chamber will depressurize so that you can safely exit.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
