Frequently asked questions.
1. What does the treatment feel like?
The treatment is very comfortable. It’s painless and non-invasive. During the first and last phases (pressurization and depressurization), you might feel a little pressure in your ears, similar to what you experience during an airplane take-off or landing. Our technician will teach you easy techniques like the Valsalva maneuver and jaw thrust to help equalize the pressure and make you more comfortable during these brief moments.
2. How many visits to the clinic will I need to complete my treatment?
The number of visits you’ll need depends on your specific condition. We follow established national hyperbaric medical protocols.
3. How long does each session last?
Each session typically lasts approximately 90 minutes. Your specific treatment duration is based on your health needs and protocol.
4. What do I do while in the chamber?
During your session, you’re free to read a book, or a tablet, be on your phone, meditate, or even take a nap. It’s a perfect time to unwind and relax.
5. I am claustrophobic. Will I have problems being in the chamber?
No need to worry! Our staff will help you mentally prepare for the session so you can feel calm and relaxed throughout. Many patients think, "I was nervous at first, but now the chamber is my quite comfort zone.”
6. Are there any side effects associated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
HBOT is an all-natural therapy with generally no or only temporary side effects. On rare occasions, you might experience mild ear irritation, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Our thorough safety protocols, and continuous monitoring minimize those risks, allowing you to relax and enjoy safe and effective treatments.
