Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a comprehensive guide

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment in which you breathe 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber at 2 to 3 times atmospheric pressure. The extra oxygen dissolves into the blood and circulates to damaged tissues, helping them heal faster while reducing inflammation and boosting immune response.

How HBOT works: the science behind it

During an HBOT session, patients sit or lie in a pressurized airtight chamber and breathe pure oxygen at higher than atmospheric pressure. Because air pressure exceeds normal levels, oxygen dissolves into the blood at higher rates.

This dissolved oxygen enhances natural healing, increases tissue regeneration, and creates a stronger immune response.

Benefits for wound healing

Research shows HBOT can support treatment of radiation burns, diabetic ulcers, and hard-to-heal wounds, improving outcomes by reducing infection risk and promoting faster recovery.

Increased oxygen tension allows tissues to regenerate faster, a significant benefit for those recovering from burns, deep cuts, or crush injuries.

Reduced inflammation and improved circulation

HBOT delivers powerful anti-inflammatory effects, reducing swelling and pain as a natural alternative to pain medications for joint pain and muscle injuries.

It also supports angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels that improve blood flow to wounds, scar tissues, and diseased organs.
