Delivering more oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body
Sacramento, Calif.- If you’ve never experienced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), you might want to consider giving it a try. Here’s how it works.
In our bodies, oxygen is transported by way of red blood cells through attachment to hemoglobin, delivering only about 4-6% of the oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body. Through HBOT, blood and hemoglobin become saturated with oxygen, delivering more like 24-30% of the oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body, which is ten times more than usual. With such a profound increase in oxygenation, stem cells and mitochondria are activated, while regenerative healing is enhanced and expedited.

What to Expect during an HBOT Session
A typical HBOT session is about 60-90 minutes. During a session, you breathe oxygen through a mask within a pressurized chamber. This increased pressure allows the body to absorb significantly more oxygen than usual. Here are some things to expect:
- Comfortable Experience: You can relax, take a nap, meditate, read or even use your phone. We will give you a walkie-talkie to communicate with us, should you need anything during your session.
- Ear Popping: Similar to the feeling during airplane takeoff and landing, ear popping is common due to the pressure change. If you suffer from ear pressurization issues, HBOT may not be for you.
- Post-Session Effects: Most people feel rejuvenated, with elevated mood, centeredness, improved focus, and a general sense of well-being.
Consistency is important for achieving the best results. Depending on your specific health goals, adhering to the recommended duration and frequency of sessions is essential to getting the most out of this therapy.
Enhance your Healing with Additional Therapies:
One of the unique benefits of HBOT is its ability to amplify the effects of other therapies. Within 4 hours after a session, your body’s healing processes are expedited, making this window of time ideal to schedule additional treatments such as:
- IV and injection therapies
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Physical Therapy
- Massage
- Acupuncture
These therapies work synergistically with HBOT and are enhanced by it, to maximize your healing outcomes.
