    GlossaryHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to enhance healing

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. This enhanced oxygen delivery can promote healing and fight infections, making it useful for conditions like non-healing wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain types of infections.
