Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that combines increased atmospheric pressure with an elevated oxygen concentration. This drives more oxygen into red blood cells and plasma, significantly enhancing the oxygen-carrying capacity. This enables areas previously deprived of red blood supply due to injury or illness to regain circulation and to be optimized for healing.

Sessions typically last 30-90 minutes, depending on the prescribed protocol.

The response to HBOT varies among individuals. Experiencing positive effects (i.e., feeling better) within the first few treatments is a positive sign. However, this isn't always the case. Some individuals may require 10-20 treatments to see improvement.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a valuable therapeutic method, usually administered regularly, ranging from once a week to daily, with a total of 10 to 40 sessions. Optimal results are often achieved with consecutive treatments (e.g., 5 days on and 2 days off). The frequency needed depends on individual health goals and circumstances. Dr. Starbuck will assess and prescribe the optimal frequency tailored to achieve the best outcomes.
