What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. At Neuropractic Rehab & Wellness, we use a hard-shell chamber capable of reaching 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute) - significantly more effective than soft-shell alternatives that only reach 1.3 ATA.
The Science Behind HBOT
When you breathe oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, something remarkable happens. Oxygen molecules dissolve directly into your blood plasma, bypassing the normal red blood cell delivery system. This allows oxygen to reach areas of your body that have restricted blood flow or damaged vessels.
Under normal conditions, your blood carries about 3ml of dissolved oxygen per liter. During HBOT, this increases to approximately 60ml per liter - a 20-fold increase in oxygen availability for your tissues.
Key Benefits of HBOT
Enhanced Wound Healing - HBOT stimulates the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and accelerates tissue repair. Studies show wounds heal up to 50% faster with regular HBOT sessions.
Reduced Inflammation - The increased oxygen levels help modulate the inflammatory response, reducing swelling and pain while promoting faster recovery.
Stem Cell Activation - Research published in the American Journal of Physiology shows HBOT can increase circulating stem cells by up to 800%, mobilizing your body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Neurological Benefits - Improved oxygen delivery to the brain supports cognitive function and may help with conditions like stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, and brain fog.
Anti-Aging Properties - HBOT has been shown to lengthen telomeres (protective caps on chromosomes) and reduce senescent cells, potentially slowing the aging process at a cellular level.
Who Can Benefit from HBOT?
HBOT has shown promise for a wide range of conditions:
- Athletes recovering from injuries or looking to enhance performance
- Post-surgical healing
- Chronic pain conditions
- Diabetic neuropathy and wound healing
- Brain fog and cognitive concerns
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Anti-aging and wellness optimization
- Long COVID symptoms
What to Expect During Your Session
A typical HBOT session at our clinic lasts 60-90 minutes. You’ll relax in our comfortable chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Many patients read, listen to music, or simply rest during their session. Most people find the experience relaxing and often report increased energy levels afterward.
