Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen than at normal air pressure, promoting healing throughout the body.

How long does a treatment session last?

A typical treatment session lasts approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, including compression and decompression time. The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and treatment plan.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?

HBOT is generally very safe when administered by trained medical professionals. Our board-certified physicians and experienced technicians monitor you throughout each session. We will discuss any potential risks specific to your situation during your consultation.

What should I expect during treatment?

You will be comfortably positioned in the hyperbaric chamber. As pressure increases, you may feel fullness in your ears (similar to flying). Our team will guide you through equalization techniques. During the session, you can relax, watch TV, or rest.

Does insurance cover hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Many insurance plans, including Medicare, cover HBOT for FDA-approved conditions. Our insurance specialists will verify your coverage and help with the authorization process before treatment begins.

How do I prepare for my first session?

Wear comfortable, cotton clothing. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and carbonated beverages before treatment. Do not bring electronics, lighters, or petroleum-based products into the chamber. Our team will provide detailed preparation instructions.
