Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can increase oxygen concentration by ten times. Increasing blood oxygen can accelerate natural healing. Learn how a hyperbaric chamber can benefit your health.

What's Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

By breathing pure oxygen within a pressurized hyperbaric chamber, hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes the body's natural healing process. A hyperbaric chamber has an air pressure two to three times higher than usual. You can breathe pure oxygen at the normal air pressure, but your lungs can gather much more oxygen under the pressurized conditions provided by the HBOT chamber. The extra oxygen in your blood helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells, promoting healing.

Why Do You Need Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

An adequate supply of oxygen is necessary for your body's tissues to function correctly. Damaged tissues require even more oxygen to survive. With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, your blood can carry more oxygen to the tissues in need. Many medical conditions can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Among the many conditions hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide natural healing are:

Severe anemia
Bubbles of air in your blood vessels
Burns
Decompression sickness
Tissue death that is caused by infection of the skin or bones
Traumatic brain injury

What Should You Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

In a hyperbaric chamber, the air pressure is about two to three times higher than usual. The air pressure in the chamber will be gradually increased during the first 10 minutes of the treatment to reach the prescribed amount. There will be an audible sound as air is drawn into the chamber, and you will feel a sensation of pressure in your ears similar to that experienced when flying and going to high altitudes. It may be necessary to clear your ears during compression. Some methods you can use to equalize this pressure include yawning, swallowing, and blowing through your nose while holding your nose closed. Most of your treatment time may be spent relaxing, reading, or sleeping. Depending on your doctor's recommendation, your session may last 30 minutes to an hour. The chamber's pressure will gradually be reduced during the last 10 minutes of treatment. As a result, it is possible to feel another popping sensation in your ears. Be sure not to hold your breath during this time.

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"
