What to Expect
WHAT HBOT
ACTUALLY INVOLVES.
Clinical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy from 1.5 ATA to 2.0 ATA — significantly higher than softshell chambers. Here's what a session looks like and what the experience is actually like.
01
The Session Itself
You relax in the chamber for 60–75 minutes breathing near-pure oxygen. Most patients read, meditate, or rest. Pressurization feels similar to descending in an airplane — you'll equalize your ears the same way.
02
How It Works
How It Works
The pressurized environment forces significantly more oxygen into your bloodstream and tissues than normal breathing allows. Researchers are investigating how this increased oxygen delivery influences inflammation, tissue repair, and recovery.
03
Clinical-Grade 1.5 ATA - 2.0 ATA
Our chamber operates up to 2.0 ATA — the pressure level used in clinical research. This is not a softshell chamber. It's the same grade used in clinical settings, available as a wellness service in Oceanside.
What the Research Shows
CONDITIONS RESEARCHERS
ARE ACTIVELY STUDYING.
HBOT is an area of active scientific investigation. Below are the conditions where researchers have published findings on hyperbaric oxygen therapy — and what those findings currently suggest. We present this honestly: some areas have stronger evidence than others.
Strongest Evidence
Wound Healing & Tissue Recovery
HBOT has FDA-approved indications for diabetic foot ulcers, radiation tissue injury, and certain non-healing wounds. The evidence base here is well established and used in clinical medical settings.
Significant Research
Inflammation & Post-Surgical Recovery
Multiple studies have investigated HBOT's influence on inflammatory markers and post-operative tissue healing. The proposed mechanism: increased dissolved oxygen reaches tissue that standard circulation may not fully supply after surgery or injury.
Active Investigation
Neurological & Chronic Conditions
Long COVID, post-concussion, and fibromyalgia are subjects of ongoing research. A Tel Aviv University study on fibromyalgia reported significant improvements in pain and quality of life following an HBOT protocol. Research is early-stage but promising.
2.0 ATA
Clinical-grade pressure
