Hyperbaric Chamber
Oxygen is life—anyone who’s held their breath for too long knows that. But its importance goes beyond breathing. Oxygen is crucial for producing the energy our cells need to perform essential functions. It plays a vital role in supporting the immune system, enabling immune cells to fight infections effectively.
Oxygen-rich environments prevent bacteria from thriving and help regulate oxidative stress when balanced by the body’s natural defenses. In short, oxygen keeps our bodies functioning efficiently and strengthens our defense against illness
The Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT works by enhancing the body’s natural healing by having patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. In this environment, oxygen is absorbed at much higher levels, up to 20 times more than usual. This extra oxygen is transported through blood plasma and other body fluids, reaching damaged tissues more effectively. The increased pressure also helps reduce swelling and improves circulation, accelerating recovery.
HBOT is non-invasive and each session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber at 369 Wellness Center offers a comfortable and safe experience for patients of all ages.
The Many Health Benefits of HBOT
Accelerates Healing and Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, which enhances circulation and supports tissue healing. Studies show that HBOT is particularly effective for patients with non-healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, and injuries caused by radiation.
Enhances Athletic Performance and Recovery: Research suggests that the increased oxygen levels from HBOT help accelerate muscle recovery post-exercise by promoting tissue repair and reducing oxidative stress.
Supports Brain Health: Widely used for traumatic brain injuries, concussions, and stroke recovery, as it reduces swelling, promotes new blood vessel growth, and improves brain function. Studies also show it boosts cognitive function, mood, and sleep quality.
Reduces Inflammation: Delivers high levels of oxygen to tissues, reducing swelling and discomfort. It benefits those with inflammatory conditions, burn injuries or sports injuries and stimulates collagen production, which supports tissue structure and elasticity.
Boosts the Immune System: Increases the production of white blood cells, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections. Additionally, the oxygen-rich environment boosts the release of growth factors and stem cells, accelerating healing and supporting the immune response in individuals recovering from surgery.
Accelerates Post-Surgery Healing: By increasing oxygen supply to tissues, HBOT enhances cell repair and promotes faster recovery, particularly for bone and muscle healing after surgery. It’s also effective for plastic surgeries, helping reduce scarring and improving overall outcomes through quicker healing.
Aids in Pain Management: Supports tissue repair and boosts endorphin production, offering a non-invasive, drug-free way to manage chronic pain. It helps relieve conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis through its healing and anti-inflammatory effects.
These are only some of the many ways Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can boost your overall health.
The 369 Wellness Center Experience
Before beginning hyperbaric oxygen therapy, each patient is evaluated and approved by a physician. They’ll ensure your ears are ready for the pressurization phase and determine the appropriate session length. Once approved, you’ll settle into the chamber for about 60 to 90 minutes of relaxation while receiving oxygen therapy. If you need anything, our staff is always within easy reach to ensure your comfort and a smooth experience.
We treat patients of all ages, from children to the elderly, and everyone finds the experience comfortable and relaxing.
Relaxing. The chamber is very comfortable. Most patients take a nap during the session. You might feel some ear pressure at the start and end, similar to what you experience when flying or driving through mountains.
HBOT is considered very safe when used for FDA-approved treatments. However, because of the increased pressure and higher oxygen concentration, there are some rare risks, including:
- Ear or sinus discomfort
- Middle ear injuries (like a ruptured eardrum)
- Temporary changes in vision
- Extremely rare cases of lung collapse
Complications are very uncommon, but your medical team will monitor you closely throughout the session to ensure your safety.
Yes, patients must first obtain approval from the 369 Wellness Center doctor before starting therapy. We also perform a thorough evaluation before each session and continuously monitor treatments to ensure a relaxing and pleasant experience.
