Restore Energy & Clarity After Lyme Disease
Our clinician-led hyperbaric oxygen programs support recovery from post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLDS), helping reduce inflammation, relieve fatigue and brain fog, and improve quality of life.
WHY RECOVERY MATTERS
Lyme Symptoms Can Linger—But Relief Is Possible
Support Your Body’s Recovery From Chronic Inflammation & Neuro-Immune Dysfunction With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
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.
HOW HBOT HELPS IMPROVE FUNCTION AFTER LYME
Oxygen: A Powerful Adjunct for Post-Lyme Healing
Pressurized oxygen helps your body repair and rebalance after infection.
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.
HBOT patients can benefit from:
Reduced Pain, Fatigue & Neuroinflammation
Improved Focus, Mood & Mental Clarity
Enhanced Circulation & Tissue Oxygenation
Restored Nerve Function and Immune Balance
Better Energy, Sleep & Daily Function Quality
Who can benefit?
HBOT Supports Recovery Across Multiple Post-Lyme Symptoms
Brain Fog, Memory Loss, Mood Changes
HBOT may improve blood flow to the brain and support cellular energy production, which can enhance clarity, focus and cognitive function. Studies show it can modulate inflammation and oxidative stress linked to neuro-Lyme symptoms.

Joint Pain, Muscle Aches & Inflammation
By enhancing oxygen supply to muscle and connective tissues, HBOT may reduce localized inflammation and support faster repair in areas affected by Lyme-related arthralgia or myalgia.

Peripheral Neuropathy & Nerve Sensitivity
HBOT may help regenerate damaged nerve fibers by enhancing microcirculation and oxygenation in affected regions. Research shows improvement in nerve function and pain scores for patients with hypoxic nerve injury.

Fatigue & Autonomic Dysfunction
Post-Lyme fatigue and POTS-like autonomic issues may benefit from HBOT’s capacity to enhance oxygen uptake and mitochondrial energy production—helping restore stamina and physiologic balance.

Post-Surgical Recovery“Getting HBOT helped me a lot with my wound healing. I noticed my scars remarkably lightened. My mood and energy levels improved as well in just three weeks of getting two sessions each week — despite my demanding work schedule, I felt like I had more energy.”Namae
Inflammatory Bowel Disease“I was prescribed HBOT by my specialist to treat a complex and traumatic issue stemming from IBD and reconstructive GI surgeries. I did a full course and absolutely saw improvement right away. The staff are amazing, very professional and caring.”Kathleen
Injury Recovery“I broke my wrist playing tennis and came to MD Hyperbaric Westchester to help speed up my recovery. After a few sessions I have felt a tremendous improvement in energy, sleep — and my doctor says my wrist is healing remarkably well.”John
Cancer Adjunct“I'm a breast cancer survivor, and after radiation near my lungs, I thought this treatment might be useful. I can feel a difference in my breathing and cognition. I definitely recommend it if your body has gone through a traumatic experience.”Aziza
Wellness“I recently began using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at MD Hyperbaric, and it's been one of the most unique and impactful wellness treatments I've explored. I was drawn in by the potential benefits for anxiety, fatigue, and overall cellular repair, but I didn't expect it to feel this restorative — and my skin is glowing too!”Olesia
