Welcome to Charlottesville Hyperbarics
At Charlottesville Hyperbarics, we offer healing oxygen therapy along with a wide range of complementary integrative and nutritional therapies that collectively address the root causes of many common conditions in a nurturing and inviting space.
Our team is passionate about helping you heal, improving your quality of life, supporting healthy aging, and maintain your well-being.
Along with our highly experienced Medical Director Dr. Rob Abbott, we have thoughtfully aligned with community healthcare providers to create a comprehensive plan specific to you.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an FDA and Medicare approved modality that is a safe and non-invasive treatment in which a person breathes 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. At sea level (1 Atmosphere or 1 ATA), we breathe approximately 21% oxygen. Breathing 100% oxygen at increased pressure enables the body to absorb (and utilize) much higher levels of oxygen enhancing the body’s natural healing process and ability to fight infection.
Currently, the FDA has approved HBOT for 14 conditions. However, in the United States and abroad, numerous studies are showing the benefits of HBOT for a far greater number of common conditions. HBOT may be prescribed by a physician for any one of these “off-labeled” indications. Free-standing HBOT clinics across the US are enjoying significant clinical success treating many of these conditions. Worldwide, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is commonly used to treat over 60 medical conditions.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy for you?
There are currently 14 conditions for which the FDA has approved the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the U.S. However, physicians and researchers have discovered many other uses for hyperbaric oxygen therapy that are backed by science and experience. The International Hyperbaric Association supports the use of HBOT for any condition in which the underlying pathophysiology can benefit from pure oxygen under pressure.
How hyperbaric oxygen therapy works:
HBOT provides a natural solution to many acute and chronic health conditions in addition to general wellness and healthy aging. At Charlottesville Hyperbarics, we provide healing oxygen therapy along with a wide range of complementary integrative and nutritional therapies that collectively address the root causes of many common conditions in a nurturing and inviting space.
Improved Immune Function
Antiviral/Antibacterial
Boosts white blood cell counts. White blood cells help fight and prevent disease by making antibodies that attack bacteria and toxins, helping to destroy infected or cancerous cells, and identifying and eliminating pathogens.
Accelerated Tissue Healing
Oxygen is our most essential nutrient, crucial for proper and efficient healing of most injuries. Hyperbaric therapy significantly increases oxygenation of the body’s tissues, helping your body to heal itself in profound ways.
Increased Stem Cell Production
Stem cells replace specialized cells in your body that are damaged or lost. By increasing stem cell production by over 800%, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can vastly accelerate healing.
Increased Blood Flow
Increase blood flow and circulation through new blood vessel growth via a process called angiogenesis. Blood flow is crucial for healing and for optimal organ function.
Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation has been shown to be at the root of most chronic disease. Oxygen under pressure activates genes that reduce inflammation and promote profound healing.
Reduce Pain
By increasing oxygenation of the body’s tissues, increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can greatly reduce pain and support healing.

Prior to undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you will need a prescription from your doctor or you can have a consultation with Dr. Abbott in order to determine whether you are a candidate for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the protocol that suits your specific needs. Protocols vary based on the condition being treated.
