Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a powerful treatment that can help your body heal by increasing the amount of oxygen in your blood. Oxygen is essential for every function in the body. When oxygen levels are low in a certain part of the body, things don’t work as well. For example, low oxygen levels in the brain can lead to issues like memory loss, “brain fog,” depression, and anxiety.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment where patients breathe pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber. The pressure inside the chamber is higher than normal air pressure, which helps your lungs take in more oxygen than usual. This extra oxygen is carried by your blood to tissues that need it for healing. HBOT works by speeding up the body’s natural healing process. It can help regenerate tissue, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. By increasing the amount of oxygen your body absorbs, HBOT can help treat a wide range of conditions, from injuries to long-term illnesses.

What to Expect During a Session
During a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) session at TruHealth PT, you will enter a comfortable, pressurized chamber where you will breathe in pure oxygen. The session typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. While inside the chamber, the air pressure is increased to about two to three times the normal atmospheric pressure. This allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen than usual, which your body uses to promote healing.
You may feel a sensation of fullness in your ears, similar to what happens during a flight or a dive, as your body adjusts to the pressure. This feeling can be relieved by yawning or swallowing. The therapy is non-invasive and painless, allowing you to relax during the session. You can read, listen to music, or simply rest while the therapy works. After the session, most patients are able to resume normal activities without any downtime. Depending on your condition, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Why Choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at TruHealth
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is more than just a treatment—it’s a way to give your body the extra boost it needs to heal and thrive. One of the key reasons to choose HBOT is its ability to regenerate tissue and blood vessels. This regeneration helps your body repair itself faster, whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or dealing with a chronic condition.
The therapy is particularly effective in reducing inflammation, which is a major factor in many illnesses. By improving oxygen flow to areas of the body that need it most, HBOT can help alleviate symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, and even behavioral issues in some cases. Additionally, the increased oxygen levels promote faster recovery from injuries and surgeries, making it a great option for athletes or anyone looking to heal quickly.
HBOT can also be used alongside other treatments to enhance their effectiveness. For instance, when combined with physical therapy, HBOT can help speed up recovery times and lead to better overall results. Whether you’re battling a serious illness, looking to improve your athletic performance, or just want to feel better overall, HBOT offers a natural, non-invasive way to support your health.

Real Results, Real People
“Honestly some of the best people I know. I’ve never seen a PT before, but coming in to deal with some military injuries has been transformational. After some knee and IT band work, I am back training for my 50 miler, squatting over 250, and feel like myself. Affordable with insurance. Highly recommend.”

“James is knowledgeable, encouraging, helps keep my mom motivated, and the exercises he gives her both pre and post surgery have made her back fusion recovery so much easier on her — both body and mind. I highly recommend James for any injury or surgical recovery.”

“Went to James for a bulged disk in my lower back for about 6 weeks, he worked his magic and showed me how to strengthen the muscles around it along with stretching and I haven’t had any issues since. He is very involved and knows what I need, I don’t feel like just another patient with him. Would recommend him to anyone.”
