A safe, scientifically proven and non-invasive therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen while sitting or lying in a comfortable, pressurized medical-grade hard chamber. Our expert team delivers personalized care for recovery, chronic wounds, inflammation, neurological conditions, and more, accelerating natural healing and performance.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven medical treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to help the body heal more efficiently. At MD Hyperbaric Rochester, NY, we provide medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy using advanced, physician-guided clinical protocols designed to support the body’s natural recovery and repair processes for patients throughout Rochester and the surrounding Western New York region.
HBOT works by delivering 100% medical oxygen inside a pressurized hyperbaric chamber, allowing oxygen to dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream and reach tissues where healing is needed most. This evidence-based therapy has been used in hospital and clinical settings for decades and is widely recognized for supporting recovery across a wide range of conditions, including chronic wounds, post-surgical healing, neurological concerns, inflammation, and whole-body wellness.
This therapeutic approach helps the body:
• Increase cellular oxygen delivery and tissue repair
• Reduce inflammation and support immune response
• Promote new blood vessel formation and circulation
• Accelerate recovery from injury, surgery, or illness
• Enhance neurological and metabolic function
At MD Hyperbaric Rochester, our medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is designed to support healing, recovery, and peak performance for patients across Rochester and the surrounding area. By delivering concentrated oxygen in a pressurized clinical chamber, HBOT helps address inflammation, tissue injury, and delayed healing at the cellular level—supporting the body’s natural repair process.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At MD Hyperbaric Rochester, patients complete hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions inside advanced, FDA-cleared steel hard-shell chambers designed for medical-grade safety and comfort. During each session, patients breathe 100% pure medical-grade oxygen through a specialized clinical oxygen delivery system in a fully pressurized environment. This process allows oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into the bloodstream and reach tissues throughout the body at levels far beyond what is possible with traditional oxygen therapy or non-medical hyperbaric units.
Unlike soft-sided or “mild” hyperbaric systems commonly found in spas or wellness studios, the medical-grade chambers at our Rochester hyperbaric clinic operate at true therapeutic pressures and are administered under direct medical supervision. This ensures safe, consistent, and effective outcomes for individuals seeking clinically proven hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Rochester, NY and the surrounding area.
