Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is HBOT?

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a non-invasive medical therapy used to treat wounds which may be challenging to heal?

  • 2. How Does HBOT work?

    It provides increased oxygen, under greater than normal pressure, to magnify the body's healing mechanisms and accelerate wound healing.

  • 3. What is a laymen's explanation of the science at work in HBOT Therapy?

    The most essential ingredient of the body's healing system is oxygen.  When more oxygen is added to the blood stream, the healing system, which operates at the cell level, is stimulated beyond its' normal effectiveness to heal injured tissue.
