Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at Chiropractic Connection San Diego is an advanced therapeutic treatment that enhances your body's natural healing process through the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This non-invasive therapy significantly increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, delivering vital healing benefits to tissues and organs.
During an HBOT session, you'll relax comfortably in our state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber while breathing normally. The increased atmospheric pressure allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen than would be possible at normal air pressure, and this oxygen-rich blood flows throughout your body to promote healing and fight infection.
Each HBOT session is carefully monitored and personalized to your specific health needs. Treatment plans vary depending on your condition, with most patients experiencing optimal results through a series of sessions. Dr. Dana integrates hyperbaric oxygen therapy with other treatments such as chiropractic care and therapeutic exercises for a comprehensive approach to health and healing.
This powerful therapy supports recovery from various conditions including traumatic injuries, post-surgical healing, chronic pain conditions, and certain neurological disorders. Many patients report improved energy levels, better sleep, enhanced mental clarity, and accelerated healing times after completing their HBOT treatment program.
Schedule a ConsultationHBOT saturates your tissues with oxygen, stimulating cell growth, collagen production, and the formation of new blood vessels, which accelerates the body's natural healing processes.
High oxygen levels help reduce swelling and inflammation by constricting blood vessels in damaged tissues while maintaining adequate oxygen delivery.
The therapy promotes the formation of new blood vessels in areas with reduced circulation, helping to restore blood flow to damaged tissues and organs.
Elevated oxygen levels enhance your body's ability to kill bacteria, reduce certain toxins, and combat infection, supporting your immune system's natural functions.
HBOT can help improve brain function by increasing oxygen delivery to brain tissues, potentially benefiting those with certain neurological conditions or injuries.
Athletes and active individuals often experience faster recovery from injuries and intense physical activity, allowing quicker return to normal activities.
No, HBOT is not painful. During treatment, you may feel a sensation of fullness in your ears similar to what you might experience during air travel as the chamber pressurizes. This can be easily relieved by swallowing or yawning. Most patients find HBOT sessions relaxing and comfortable.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and individual response to therapy. Acute conditions might require 10-20 sessions, while chronic conditions may benefit from 20-40 sessions or more. Dr. Dana will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and monitor your progress throughout your therapy.
A typical HBOT session lasts 60-90 minutes. This includes time for the chamber to pressurize and depressurize, plus the treatment time at the therapeutic pressure level. The exact duration will be determined based on your specific treatment protocol.
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing made of cotton or other natural fibers. Synthetic materials are not recommended as they can create static electricity in the oxygen-rich environment. We'll provide specific guidance before your first session.
Most patients tolerate HBOT very well with few or no side effects. Some may experience temporary ear discomfort (similar to airplane ear), fatigue, or lightheadedness after treatment. These effects are generally mild and brief. Our team will discuss potential side effects and safety considerations before beginning your treatment.
Insurance coverage for HBOT varies by provider and plan, and typically depends on the condition being treated. Some conditions have established coverage, while others may be considered off-label use. Our office staff can help verify your benefits and discuss payment options for your specific situation.
