Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body’s natural healing processes. Our Hyperbaric Chamber in Spring Hill is ADA-accessible!
What is Hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Our body’s tissues need oxygen to function. The air we breathe is 21% oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is exposing the body to 100% oxygen at a pressure that is greater than normal.
As a result, an increased level of oxygen enhances the body’s natural healing process. Consequently, it helps white blood cells to kill bacteria and stimulates new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.
HBOT is a simple, non-invasive, and painless treatment. However, the combination of increased atmospheric pressure and increased percentage of oxygen in a total body chamber treats a wide variety of medical conditions. It is also commonly referred to as oxygen treatment, hyperbaric therapy, or hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
How Does Hyperbaric Chamber Work?
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body by red blood cells with a tiny amount also dissolved in plasma, the liquid portion of the blood.
When oxygen is delivered under pressure much greater amounts of oxygen are dissolved in plasma where it is more readily available for transfer to all of the tissues and fluids in the body, such as the central nervous system fluid, the lymphatic system, connective tissue, all solid organs, and bone.
In the smallest blood vessels, plasma blood flow carries the increased oxygen to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, adequate oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues, especially those where healing is delayed or diminished. Once sufficient oxygen gets to these damaged tissues, the oxygen reduces swelling. This greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria and stimulates new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
There are many benefits of HBOT. In short, healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue and cells. Many illnesses and injuries fail to heal because of inadequate oxygen levels. Increased oxygen under pressure, or HBOT, provides this extra oxygen to tissue and cells with minimal side effects. Some of the many benefits of HBOT include:
What Conditions Does HBOT Treat?
Potentially, HBOT can help with any condition that involves injury, wounding, loss of blood supply, or inflammation. The following are some of the most common conditions and injuries that customers use oxygen therapy:

HBOT and Post COVID-19
What are lingering COVID-19 symptoms?
Lingering COVID-19 symptoms can last weeks or months after a patient is deemed negative with COVID-19 and can happen to anyone who had the virus even if they had no symptoms while infected.
It is believed that lingering symptoms are due to the oxygen saturation dropping so low for multiple days while fighting the illness. The body is in such a hypoxic state from not getting enough oxygen that it is doing its best to fight the virus and the symptoms that, in most, do not present until after the illness. From there, it could be causing a domino effect of symptoms that can vary from person to person.
People with this complication have reported experiencing one or many of the following symptoms:
What are the treatment options for lingering COVID-19 symptoms?
Although treatment options are being explored every day, many patients with lingering COVID-19 symptoms are having to wait until their symptoms get better with time.
How can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with lingering COVID-19 symptoms?
