Many people continue to experience symptoms long after completing antibiotics for Lyme disease—fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and nerve sensitivity are among the most common. These ongoing issues, sometimes called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), are thought to stem from lingering inflammation, tissue damage, and dysregulated immune response rather than active infection.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers oxygen at increased pressure, raising oxygen concentration in blood and tissues to levels not achievable through normal breathing. This enhanced oxygenation can support cellular repair, improve circulation, calm inflammation, and aid nervous-system function—helping the body rebuild strength naturally.
During HBOT, you relax inside a spacious, FDA-cleared chamber while breathing 100% oxygen under pressure. This allows your body to absorb dramatically more oxygen (up to 1,200%) than normal breathing.
Research suggests HBOT may help improve outcomes for patients struggling with persistent symptoms after Lyme infection. Studies have shown that increased tissue oxygenation can:
Support healing in areas affected by microvascular injury or hypoxia
Modulate neuroinflammatory pathways linked to fatigue and neuropathy
Enhance immune response and detoxification processes
Improve cognitive function and reduce pain sensitivity
Clinical data—including reports from Fife et al. (1998) and more recent analyses in Medical Gas Research—indicate HBOT may help restore energy, decrease pain and neuropathy, and improve mental clarity in patients with PTLDS.

Yes. HBOT has shown promising results in patients with persistent symptoms after Lyme infection. It can improve oxygen delivery, reduce neuro-inflammation and support cellular repair—helping restore energy and function. (Off-label use; not FDA-cleared for this indication.)
Most patients benefit from a course of 20–40 sessions, depending on symptom severity and response. Our clinicians tailor protocols to each patient’s goals and tolerance, tracking progress throughout.
Yes. HBOT is often used as an adjunct to comprehensive care—alongside antibiotic, nutritional, and functional medicine approaches—to enhance tissue oxygenation and support immune function.
When performed in a medical setting using FDA-cleared equipment and qualified clinicians, HBOT is considered safe and well-tolerated. Our team monitors each session to ensure comfort and safety.
Some patients report enhanced energy or reduced pain after just a few sessions, while others see gradual progress over several weeks. Consistency and a comprehensive care plan help maximize results.
