The Most Trusted, Cutting Edge Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment in the Bay Area

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) works in a very simple, yet effective way. By taking oxygen and placing it under greater than normal pressure we are able to push this oxygen into your blood plasma, tissues, and body fluids — literally super-oxygenating your entire system! So whether you’re living with an existing condition, looking to heal faster, or searching for preventative health solutions, you can trust us to give you the best hyperbaric therapy experience possible.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Whether you have an existing condition or are looking to heal faster, hyperbaric oxygen can help your system detoxify, reduce inflammation, increase cell production, and improve circulation.

  • Increases neuronal energy metabolism in the brain

  • Can create sustained cognitive improvement

  • Wakes up sleeping (idling) brain cells that are metabolizing enough to stay alive but are not actively “firing”

  • Enhances the body’s ability to fight bacterial and viral infections

  • Deactivates toxins and poisons (e.g. side effects from some chemotherapy, spider bites, air pollution, etc.)

  • Enhances wound healing by stimulating the growth of new capillaries into the injured area

  • Creates an immediate aerobic state

  • Removes free radicals

  • Reduces tissue swelling

  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory

Conditions Treated With HBOT

While there are a number of FDA recognized diagnoses and “on-label” conditions treatable with HBOT*, research also supports using HBOT for “off-label” conditions.

FDA recognized or “on-label” conditions include:

  • Air or gas embolism

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Gas gangrene

  • Crush injury

  • Decompression sickness

  • Arterial insufficiencies

  • Severe anemia

  • Intracranial abscess

  • Necrotizing soft tissue infections

  • Osteomyelitis (Refractory)

  • Delayed radiation injury

  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps

  • Acute thermal burn injury

  • Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Research supported “off-label” conditions:

  • ​Anti-Aging

  • Athletic injuries and performance

  • Arthritis

  • Autism

  • Attention deficit disorder

  • Auto-immune disorders

  • Bell’s Palsy

  • Brain and head injuries

  • Cardiovascular disease

  • Chronic Pain

  • Cerebral palsy

  • Concussion

  • Cosmetic Surgery

  • Crohn’s disease

  • Dermatological conditions

  • Diabetes & Ulcers

  • Dementia

  • Fertility

  • Interstitial cystitis

  • Irritable bowel syndrome and colitis

  • Lyme disease

  • Learning disabilities

  • Macular degeneration

  • Migraines

  • Mold Exposure

  • Multiple sclerosis

  • Neuropathies

  • Pervasive development disorders

  • PTSD

  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy

  • Reconstructive surgery

  • Spinal cord injury

  • Stroke

  • Sudden Hearing Loss

  • Surgical Recovery

  • Wound Healing

  • and more!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy treats medical conditions with 100% oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. The patient lies or sits in the chamber. The oxygen then saturates the plasma in the blood, allowing oxygen to easily flow throughout the body and reach even areas that are injured or diseased, which typically receive less oxygen. The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include stimulating and mobilizing stem cells, down-regulating inflammatory genes, up-regulating reproductive cells and stimulating DNA. HBOT also regrows tiny blood vessels, and stimulates the growth of new healthy cells in the brain, bones, skin, organs, and tissues. People seek hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal physical damage in their bodies and to promoting health and anti-aging.
  • What does HBOT feel like?
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a painless, noninvasive therapy. Our patients often tell us they don't notice the pressure change, except for a bit in their ears. Specifically, some feel a bit of pressure in their ears, like when they take off in an airplane. It feels like their ears are “popping." After a treatment, some patients say they can think more clearly and that they have more energy. If there has been pain from swelling or impinged nerves, patients often comment on the pain relief, plus increased strength and range of motion after their treatments.
  • Is HBOT safe?
    Overall, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is extremely safe. However, as with any medical therapy, there can be risks. Any risks should be reviewed with you prior to your treatment, at the time your provider goes over your health history with you, and during your intake at the clinic. All clinics are constructed with approval of the local fire marshal and building inspectors to ensure that they comply with all relevant safety codes.
  • How do I prepare for HBOT?
    We make preparing for a hyperbaric oxygen therapy easy. Before the first treatment, we take the time to answer all of your questions in detail. The patient’s healthcare provider reviews their history and condition. For example, depending on your condition, you may be asked to eat before your treatment. Preparing for HBOT is just as individualized as the therapy. In most cases, it’s as easy as changing into different clothing. Call us with any questions you have. We are more than happy to answer all of your questions, even if you are not a current patient.
