Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Support Whole-Person Health

At Charlottesville Hyperbarics, our HBOT protocols are rooted in science and personalized for you. By using pressurized oxygen in a controlled environment, HBOT promotes:

Enhanced cellular repair and tissue regeneration
Increased blood flow and oxygen delivery
Reduction of inflammation and swelling
Support for recovery from chronic and acute conditions’

HBOT is an evidence-informed therapy that supports healing across a range of patient needs—from post-surgical recovery and injury to concussion and chronic pain.

How It Works

1.Pressurized
Oxygen

You breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, enabling greater oxygen uptake than breathing standard air.

2. Cellular
Response

Elevated oxygen levels jumpstart processes like collagen formation, new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), and inflammation reduction to help damaged tissue heal more efficiently.

3.Personalized
Protocols

Each treatment plan is designed around your medical history, goals, and response to therapy, and it includes ongoing tracking and evaluation.

Conditions We Commonly Help

Post-surgical recovery (reduced swelling, speedier tissue repair)
Acute injuries and inflammation
Concussion/traumatic brain injury
Chronic pain and inflammation
Cognitive decline
Conditions related to radiation exposure
Veteran-focused care

While widely used in many areas, clinical guidelines recommend caution and individualized planning, especially for neurological conditions like MS or stroke.

Safety & Comfort at Charlottesville Hyperbarics

Your well-being is our top priority. Our chambers are staffed by trained technicians and overseen by medical leadership. We adhere to strict safety protocols, including:

Gradual pressurization/depressurization to minimize the risk of ear discomfort
Air breaks balancing oxygen and chamber air to prevent oxygen toxicity
Continuous monitoring of your response and comfort throughout each session

Side effects are rare and typically minor, like mild ear or sinus pressure, temporary vision changes, or feeling warm inside the chamber. In over 80,000 treatments, serious symptoms were found in fewer than 0.01% of cases.
