To understand how hyperbaric oxygen works, we must appreciate how oxygen is normally distributed in the body. As you read these words, inhaling air comprised of various gasses, oxygen is transported throughout your body via red blood cells in your circulatory system. If you were to place a pulse oximeter on your finger, it may read somewhere between 92-100%, which is the percentage of oxygen in your red blood cells. What is fascinating about hyperbarics is not only does it increase this oxygen reading to approximately 100%, it’s healing power lies in its ability to increase oxygen in fluids in the body normally low in oxygen.

Unfortunately, many people find it is a struggle to get insurance to cover even these aforementioned FDA-approved conditions. As such, we do see patients for FDA-approved conditions in the event insurance will not cover treatment. Please inquire about low-interest financing and our program for combat veterans with TBI or PTSD.
The following conditions for HBOT are potentially reimbursable by insurance and Medicare.
- Air or Gas Embolism
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
- Compartment Syndrome/Crush Injury/Other Traumatic Ischemias
- Decompression Sickness (Bends)
- Diabetic and Selected Wounds
- Exceptional Blood Loss (Anemia)
- Gas Gangrene
- Intracranial Abscess
- Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection
- Osteoradionecrosis and Radiation Tissue Damage
- Osteomyelitis (Refractory)
- Skin Grafts and (Compromised) Flaps
- Thermal Burns

The Benefits Of HBOT
What To Expect
As you enter a hyperbaric chamber and the atmospheric pressure is increased, oxygen changes the way it “behaves” in the body such that it dissolves into blood plasma, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid. Once oxygen enters these fluids, it can then diffuse into tissue and oxygenate inflamed or hypoxic (low oxygen) areas not easily reached by red-blood cells.
Although there are very impressive acute effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy that occur at an epigenetic level, the most sought-after improvements are observed after regular, daily to twice daily treatments, for 1-2 months. Research has shown repeated treatments promote the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), neurons (neurogenesis), increase glutathione levels, repairs damaged mitochondria, functions as an antibiotic and antiviral, mobilizes stem cells, increases collagen, and lowers systemic inflammation.
