Discover Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Breathe in the benefits of pure oxygen in a controlled, pressurized environment to supercharge your body's natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and get back to life faster at The Rehab Room.
Understanding HBOT
Struggling with slow healing or persistent inflammation? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a powerful, non-invasive solution. HBOT is an established medical treatment that involves breathing pure, 100% oxygen in a specially designed pressurized chamber.
At The Rehab Room, our state-of-the-art HBOT service is dedicated to helping you improve healing and recovery from a variety of conditions. This increased pressure allows your lungs to gather significantly more oxygen than would be possible by breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. This oxygen-rich blood then flows throughout your body, saturating tissues with oxygen to promote regeneration, fight infection, and reduce inflammation.
The Science of Speedier Recovery
During an HBOT session at The Rehab Room, you'll relax in a comfortable, private, pressurized chamber while breathing 100% pure oxygen. This process dramatically increases the concentration of oxygen dissolved in your bloodstream – up to 10-15 times the normal amount. By creating this unique oxygen-rich environment, HBOT triggers several powerful healing responses in your body:
By creating this unique oxygen-rich environment, HBOT triggers several powerful healing responses in your body:
- Enhanced Oxygen Delivery: Forces more oxygen into your blood plasma, reaching tissues that may be oxygen-deprived due to injury, swelling, or compromised circulation.
- Reduced Inflammation & Swelling: Helps to significantly decrease swelling and inflammation in affected areas by constricting blood vessels and reducing fluid leakage.
- Stimulated Growth Factors & Stem Cells: Promotes the release of substances called growth factors and encourages the mobilization of stem cells, which are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration.
- Improved Circulation & New Blood Vessel Formation: Can help stimulate the formation of new tiny blood vessels (angiogenesis) in damaged or oxygen-starved tissues over a series of treatments.
- Boosted Immune Response: Enhances the ability of white blood cells to find and destroy bacteria and infection, and can make certain antibiotics more effective.

A Calm and Comfortable Healing Experience
Before Your Session:
You'll receive clear instructions from our team on how to prepare. This typically involves wearing comfortable, 100% cotton clothing provided by us, and avoiding certain products like makeup, perfumes, or hairsprays. It's also important to inform us of any recent changes in your health or medications.
During the Session:
You will lie down comfortably inside the spacious, clear acrylic hyperbaric chamber. As the pressure gradually increases, you may feel a sensation of fullness in your ears, similar to ascending or descending in an airplane or diving. Our trained staff will guide you on simple techniques to equalize this pressure (like yawning or swallowing). Once at the prescribed pressure, you will simply relax and breathe normally. Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes. You can rest, sleep, listen to music, or watch movies on our entertainment system.
After Your Session:
Once the session is complete, the pressure will be slowly returned to normal. You may feel slightly fatigued, which is normal and usually passes quickly. Most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Our team will be with you every step of the way to ensure your comfort and answer any questions you may have.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HBOT painful?
HBOT is generally painless. The primary sensation is a change in ear pressure during pressurization and depressurization, similar to what you might feel on an airplane. Our staff will teach you simple techniques to comfortably manage this. Many patients find the sessions relaxing.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies greatly depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and your individual response to therapy. Some acute conditions may require only a few sessions, while chronic conditions might benefit from 20-40 sessions or more. Our therapists will discuss a recommended treatment plan with you after your initial consultation.
Is HBOT safe?
Yes, HBOT is a safe medical treatment when administered by trained professionals in a certified facility like The Rehab Room. We adhere to the strictest safety protocols. Potential side effects are rare and usually mild, such as ear discomfort or temporary vision changes. We will discuss all safety considerations and potential risks with you during your consultation.
Do I need a referral for HBOT?
While a physician's referral can be helpful, it is not always strictly required to schedule a consultation at The Rehab Room. We can assess your suitability for HBOT and, if necessary, coordinate with your existing healthcare providers. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation.
What does it feel like inside the chamber?
Our hyperbaric chambers are spacious, comfortable, and constructed with clear acrylic, allowing you to see outside. The environment is climate-controlled. You can relax, sleep, listen to music, or watch movies. You'll be in constant communication with our staff via an intercom system throughout your session.
Can I bring anything into the chamber?
For safety reasons, only 100% cotton garments (which we provide) are allowed in the chamber. Personal electronics, flammable materials, and certain other items are prohibited. We will provide you with a full list of guidelines.
