Accelerate Recovery & Wellness with HBOT
HBOT is a comfortable, non-invasive therapy that lets you relax inside a pressurized chamber while breathing oxygen-enriched air.
A simple way to give your body access to more oxygen.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by combining oxygen-enriched breathing with gentle pressure inside a comfortable chamber.
The extra pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve into the liquid part of your blood, called plasma. That means your body can temporarily carry more oxygen than it normally would at everyday air pressure.
Settle into the chamber while the pressure increases gradually.
More oxygen dissolves into your plasma while you are under pressure.
That oxygen circulates throughout the body and becomes available to your tissues.
Think of HBOT as giving oxygen a little more room to work.
You do not need to understand gas laws or medical terminology to understand the basic idea. HBOT changes the pressure around you so your blood can carry more dissolved oxygen for a period of time.
Like Pressurizing a Sponge
Under pressure, your blood can hold more dissolved oxygen, similar to how pressure helps a sponge take in more liquid.
More Ways to Carry Oxygen
Your red blood cells still do their job, while the plasma also carries additional dissolved oxygen through the body.
Fuel for Everyday Cell Function
Your cells use oxygen to make energy. HBOT temporarily increases the oxygen available for those normal cellular processes.
Support for Recovery
In the right setting, greater oxygen availability can support normal tissue repair and recovery processes.
It is the combination of oxygen and pressure that makes HBOT different.
HBOT is not simply breathing more oxygen. The chamber changes the pressure around you, which is what allows your blood plasma to carry more dissolved oxygen.
The pressure rises slowly while you get comfortable.
You remain awake and relaxed during the session. As the chamber pressurizes, you may notice your ears need to pop, much like they do during airplane travel.
Once the chamber reaches the planned pressure, you simply rest while the session continues.
Most of the session is simply time to relax.
The chamber may look unfamiliar at first, but the process is gentle and straightforward. You can settle in, rest and let the session do its work.
We explain what to expect before you begin and stay available throughout the process.
Easy to understand.
Easy to settle into.
We walk you through everything before your first session so you know exactly what to expect.
We talk through your goals.
Tell us what brought you in and what you are hoping to support with HBOT.
We make sure HBOT is a good fit.
We review your health history and anything that may affect whether HBOT is appropriate for you.
You get comfortable.
The chamber pressurizes gradually. We guide you through the ear pressure changes and help you settle in.
You relax while the session runs.
Once you are at pressure, most of the session is simply quiet time to rest.
Advanced therapy should still feel personal.
"While we specialize in the spine and nervous system, we do focus on the whole body, especially with hyperbaric oxygen therapy."
HBOT is one of the tools available at The Reserve for people looking to support recovery, wellness and performance. We keep the process simple, explain why we are recommending it and make sure you feel comfortable before you begin.
Questions are normal.
We are happy to explain.
HBOT is unfamiliar to a lot of people. If you are curious, call or text us and we can talk you through it.
HBOT is a therapy performed inside a pressurized chamber while you breathe oxygen-enriched air. The added pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve into your blood plasma than it normally would at everyday air pressure.
Most of the session feels calm and uneventful. The main sensation happens while the pressure changes, when your ears may feel similar to takeoff or landing on an airplane.
Some people wonder about this before their first visit. We show you the chamber, explain what to expect and help you get comfortable before the session begins.
There is no single number that applies to everyone. Recommendations depend on your goals, health history and how HBOT is being used as part of your overall care.
No. We review your health history before treatment because certain conditions, medications and ear or lung concerns can affect whether HBOT is appropriate.
