Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Conditions in Tribeca
Medical-Grade HBOT Services at MD Hyperbaric Tribeca
Living with chronic autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, or Lyme disease can be exhausting and isolating. MD Hyperbaric offers advanced HBOT for chronic conditions in New York City through physician-supervised hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our medical-grade treatments reduce inflammation, restore energy, and improve quality of life, managing symptoms more effectively than medication alone.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Autoimmune Conditions
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized environment, which dramatically increases oxygen absorption throughout your bloodstream and tissues. This oxygen-rich environment penetrates deeply into inflamed joints, compromised gut tissue, and oxygen-starved cells, targeting the underlying mechanisms that drive chronic autoimmune symptoms rather than simply masking them.
Our Lower Manhattan, NYC autoimmune treatment with HBOT works by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, signaling proteins that drive inflammation. Treatment benefits include:
- Enhancing anti-inflammatory responses through increased interleukin-10 production
- Improving circulation to poorly oxygenated tissues
- Reducing oxidative stress that damages cells and perpetuates inflammation
- Supporting immune system balance rather than suppression
- Accelerating tissue repair and cellular regeneration
HBOT for Autoimmune Diseases
At MD Hyperbaric Tribeca, we provide specialized ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease treatment in NYC, reducing intestinal inflammation, supporting gut healing, and helping patients achieve remission or reduce flare-ups. Our arthritis treatment addresses rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint conditions, decreasing pain and stiffness while improving range of motion.
We also offer Lyme disease treatment for chronic Lyme and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, reducing persistent fatigue, joint pain, and neurological symptoms. Our protocols also support fibromyalgia patients with chronic pain and fatigue relief, multiple sclerosis symptom management, lupus inflammation reduction, and Long COVID recovery from persistent symptoms.
The HBOT Process
Your journey begins with a free discovery call where our team discusses your condition, symptoms, and treatment goals. This is an opportunity to ask questions, and there’s no pressure to commit.
After completing a health intake form, our Medical Director creates a customized protocol — typically 20 to 40 sessions, depending on the severity of your condition and your response to treatment. Relax in a spacious hyperbaric chamber for 60 to 90 minutes while breathing pure oxygen. Many patients notice improvements in energy, pain levels, and overall function within the first few weeks of consistent treatment.

What to Know Before Your Treatment
What is Medical-Grade HBOT?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven treatment that enhances healing by flooding the body with oxygen. Used for over 100 years, it supports brain health, anti-aging, athletic recovery, and medical conditions by boosting oxygen in blood, tissues, and organs. Patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, accelerating recovery and promoting cellular repair.
What conditions can be treated with HBOT?
HBOT is FDA-approved for 14 conditions like burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds. Emerging research also supports its use for post-surgical recovery, brain injury, fatigue, inflammation, athletic recovery, and anti-aging. Our medical team will assess if HBOT is right for you.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?
Yes, HBOT is safe when properly supervised. At MD Hyperbaric, treatments are protocol-driven, medically overseen, and administered by certified staff. Our Medical Director and onsite Safety Director ensure every session is carefully monitored, and we continuously update our protocols based on the latest research to prioritize patient safety.
How long is each session?
Typically, most treatment sessions are approximately 60 minutes (some conditions may require up to 90 or 120 minutes). In addition to the actual treatment time, there is time required for the pressurization and depressurization of the chamber, which may add 20 minutes to the overall appointment. The exact duration will depend on your specific treatment plan and the pressure levels used, but you should plan for about 90 minutes for your visit.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated. Some patients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may require a more extended treatment plan. A typical protocol will involve 10-40 daily sessions to build up oxygen in the cells. Our Medical Director will recommend a specific treatment plan to address your goals and needs.
How should I prepare prior to a session?
Prior to treatment, please try to avoid alcohol or carbonated drinks. It’s best to avoid smoking and any other tobacco products during your treatment period, as they may interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen. This can directly affect the time it takes you to heal, and under no circumstance can you smoke 2 hours before or after a session. Otherwise, there are no restrictions for food or activity before or after your treatment. We encourage you to have healthy meals and stay hydrated.
What should I wear or bring to my session?
Most patients find HBOT sessions relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably in a 7½-foot-long steel chamber, breathing 100% pure oxygen through a mask. The oxygen has no smell or taste. During pressurization and depressurization, you may feel pressure changes, similar to airplane travel. A trained technician will monitor you throughout the session. You can sit or lie down inside the chamber, and afterward, you can resume normal activities, stay hydrated, and rest.
Why is a HBOT treatment session called a “dive”?
The term “dive” is used because the process simulates the experience of a deep-sea dive in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has deep roots in diving as it is an important therapy in treating divers that are experiencing “the bends”. In the context of hyperbaric, pressure is increased to levels greater than atmospheric pressure, similar to what divers experience underwater.
What type of hyperbaric chamber do you use?
At MD Hyperbaric, we use the FDA-cleared OxyHealth Fortius420—a spacious, hard-shell chamber delivering 100% medical-grade oxygen via mask. Operating up to 3.0 ATA, it allows tailored pressures (typically 2.0–2.4 ATA) and supports air breaks for added benefits. With three windows and a 7½-foot length, it ensures comfort and meets the highest safety standards.
What is the difference between hard-shell and soft-shell hyperbaric chambers?
At MD Hyperbaric, we use hard-shell chambers that deliver 100% medical-grade oxygen at higher pressures for superior therapeutic benefits. In contrast, soft-shell chambers operate at lower pressures without medical-grade oxygen, making them less effective for medical treatment.
How do I know if I’m eligible for HBOT?
Our team will assess your medical history and specific circumstances through an intake process and initial evaluation with our certified staff and Medical Director will determine your eligibility for HBOT.
Do I need a referral from a doctor to receive HBOT?
No referral is needed. Our Medical Director will review your intake forms and prescribe HBOT if appropriate. If you have a prescription from a provider, we’ll coordinate with them. For serious health conditions, we may recommend getting clearance from your physician.
Do you accept insurance?
HBOT is generally not covered by insurance, though most FSA/HSA plans allow reimbursement (check with your provider). MD Hyperbaric is an out-of-network provider, so patients pay out-of-pocket. If you have one of the 14 insurance-approved conditions, reimbursement may be possible. We can provide a superbill and receipt to help you submit a claim to your insurer.
How much does it cost?
This is an out-of-pocket treatment and we offer a variety of pricing options designed to suit the different medical and financial needs and preferences of our patients. For flexibility, patients can opt for the pay-as-you-go plan at a per session rate. We also have several package options that offer sessions at a reduced rate when purchased upfront. Please contact us to discuss pricing and options. We accept cash, credit or check.
