Commonly referred to as HBOT, hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by delivering oxygen under pressure, which increases the oxygen content in the blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, and other body tissues. We help Chamblee and metro Atlanta area patients recognize these benefits.

A Whole-Body Approach

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy supports your body’s natural healing process by increasing oxygen delivery throughout the body — but healing is rarely a single-input process. Many patients pair HBOT with chiropractic care to support nervous system function, or tissue regeneration therapy to target a specific area of injury. Ask us how to best combine services to support your recovery.

Preparing for Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session

We ask that you remove your shoes, wear comfortable clothing, and avoid wearing any scents, perfume, or cologne as other people may be sensitive to them.

No sharp objects or incendiary devices (matches, lighters) are allowed in the chamber. Eating prior to your appointment is helpful in maintaining a stable blood sugar during your treatment.

Please note that no food or drinks are allowed in the chamber; however, if you have diabetes, we ask you to bring a snack in case your blood sugar drops in the hyperbaric chamber.

What to Expect While in the Hyperbaric Chamber

You will be lying down inside the chamber, relaxing comfortably in your own clothing, as you breathe concentrated oxygen (90-95% O2) through a face mask.

While inside the chamber you can rest, read, and use your Smartphone or tablet — free WiFi is available — or take a nap. As the chamber is gradually pressurized to 1.3 ATA you maintain contact with our trained staff person, remaining in control at all times.

Some people experience temporary ear discomfort while pressurizing or depressurizing the chamber, but it typically resolves after the first few sessions. 

When your session ends and the chamber is gradually depressurized, you will emerge feeling more oxygenated.

Some people report feeling more relaxed after a session. Others describe feeling a sense of mental clarity, as HBOT is good for brain fog and is particularly helpful in addressing brain fog related to Lyme, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy.

Benefits of a Hyperbaric Chamber & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

HBOT is used to support the body’s natural healing process — commonly for inflammation, recovery from injury, neurological support, and overall wellness. Many patients also explore HBOT for chronic conditions, such as diabetes, autoimmune concerns, rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial cystitis, Lyme disease, autism, stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, recovery from surgery, or as a complementary support during cancer treatment recovery. Talk with your provider about whether HBOT is a good fit for your specific situation.
