Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medically proven treatment with over a century of clinical use, now gaining attention for its powerful regenerative, anti-aging, and athletic recovery benefits. Using medical-grade hardshell chambers, HBOT boosts the body’s natural healing by significantly increasing oxygen delivery to the bloodstream, tissues, and organs.
HBOT boosts oxygen levels in the bloodstream, allowing it to reach deep into tissues, the lymphatic system, and cerebrospinal fluid. This reverses hypoxia and helps revive cells and tissues at risk of damage.
HBOT boosts oxygen in the bloodstream, helping mitochondria produce ATP — the main energy source for the body. By increasing oxygen levels by 1200%, HBOT supports optimal cellular energy production.
HBOT reduces swelling by calming inflammation and tightening blood vessels. Over time, it also switches off genes that drive inflammation, a major cause of aging and tissue damage.
HBOT can increase stem cells in circulation by eight-fold. These stem cells already exist in the body and have the unique ability to differentiate into any type of tissue, making them a valuable tool for regeneration and healing.
HBOT stimulates growth of new blood vessels in the body, which increases circulation, allowing revitalized tissues to thrive even after the treatment protocol has been completed.
HBOT strengthens the immune system by weakening harmful bacteria, boosting natural antioxidants, and enhancing the body's ability to fight disease. It can also improve the effectiveness of certain antibiotics.
MDHyperbaric utilizes the FDA-approved Fortius 420, the largest chamber on the market (91in. long 42in. diameter). Patients simply breathe normally to deliver 100% oxygen to the body while relaxing, sleeping, or reading. A typical session lasts around 80 minutes.
HBOT is performed under medical supervision. Although there are minor risks, like all medical treatments, HBOT is extremely safe. The risks will be discussed with you before you sign your consent form for therapy.
The most common side effect is barotrauma to the ears and sinuses caused by the change in pressure. To minimize this risk, patients learn techniques to clear their ears during compression. Occasionally some patients may experience changes in their vision during their treatment period. These changes are usually minor and temporary. A rare side effect is oxygen toxicity, which is caused by administering too much oxygen. At MDHyperbaric, we follow treatment protocols to avoid any such issues.
Only clean, cotton clothing is allowed in the chamber. No cosmetics, perfumes, hair preparations, deodorants, wigs, or jewelry are allowed in the chamber. Patients should give up all tobacco and nicotine products, as they interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen.
Patients are accepted either by self referral or by physician referral. Patients are evaluated by our staff and treated based on their specific conditions.
