Trusted Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy In Richmond, Virginia

The team at Charlottesville Hyperbarics is exceptional in every way!! They are so knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, accommodating, and professional. Over the past year, I have had ~12 treatments and am always amazed at how good I feel!! Highly recommend!!!

Before coming to Charlottesville Hyperbarics through the HOW Foundation, I was basically a walking checklist of post-deployment issues—brain fog, memory like a goldfish, joint pain in places I didn’t even know had joints, and lungs that felt like I was breathing through a straw. I had tried everything to feel normal again—but nothing really stuck. Until this.

I did two dives a day, five days a week, for a month. And no joke, it changed everything. My mind is sharper, my memory is actually showing up to work, my lungs have cleared up (hello, deep breaths), and my joints don’t scream every time I move. I can even swim twice as far underwater now—pretty sure Aquaman is getting nervous.

What really makes this place special is the crew. The whole vibe is calm, professional, and completely stress-free. They handled everything— even making sure our wives were supported. It’s like they thought of every possible reason a vet might bail and eliminated it.

Charlottesville Hyperbarics isn’t just legit—it’s life-changing. If you're dealing with stuff the VA can't fix with Motrin and duct tape, start here. I'm living proof.

A Life-Changing Experience at Charlottesville Hyperbaric
Before beginning hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), I was struggling daily. Sleep was elusive, I found myself easily agitated, and staying focused on even simple tasks was a constant challenge. These issues affected every aspect of my life, leaving me feeling frustrated, depleted, and disconnected from the person I used to be.
My wife, who was a patient of Charlottesville Hyperbaric for wound care after a major surgery, told me of how the treatments had made her mentally clearer. She mentioned to the staff that I was a veteran who suffered with PTSD and soon after my life would be changed forever.
From day one, the staff treated me with empathy, patience, and genuine compassion. They took the time to understand what I was going through and made sure I felt safe and informed throughout the entire process. Their attentiveness and professionalism went far beyond what I expected — they created an environment of trust and healing that made each visit something I looked forward to.
The facility itself is clean, calm, and equipped with top-of-the-line hyperbaric chambers that reflect the center’s commitment to modern, effective care. Everything is maintained to the highest standard, and it’s clear they prioritize both safety and comfort.
But what truly made this journey possible for me was the support I received from the HOW (Help Our Wounded) Foundation of South Florida and their Veteran Investment Program. This incredible initiative provides veterans with access to alternative treatments like HBOT — care that is often out of financial reach despite its proven benefits. Thanks to this program, I was able to begin treatment, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Since completing my HBOT sessions, I’ve experienced profound changes:
• I’m finally sleeping soundly through the night.
• I feel calmer and more emotionally balanced.
• My ability to stay focused and engaged has improved dramatically.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this therapy — and the people who made it possible — gave me a piece of my life back.
If you’re a veteran struggling with similar challenges, or anyone considering HBOT as part of your healing journey, I can’t recommend Charlottesville Hyperbaric highly enough. Their blend of cutting-edge technology and deeply compassionate care is unmatched — and with partners like the HOW Foundation, they are truly making a difference where it matters most.

Top notch facility staffed by the most amazing people!

In the fall of 2024 I completed 2 months of daily sessions at Charlottesville Hyperbarics, as prescribed by my doctor. Living in Richmond made it a challenge, but soon after beginning my treatments I started to look forward to arriving at Charlottesville Hyperbarics each day, not only because I began to enjoy the hyperbaric sessions, but also because of the warmth of the team there. Ted, Jordan, Gregor, and Grayson all set the bar for professionalism, friendliness, and compassion in a therapeutic, healthcare setting. The facility is extremely clean and well maintained, and the hyperbaric chambers all have TVs with Netflix, YouTube, etc that you can watch, or even listen to podcasts and audiobooks. The experience couldn't possibly be any better than what you get at Charlottesville Hyperbarics.

In decades of writing reviews, there is no business I can recall where I wanted to leave such a glowing review. I have only extremely positive things to say about my 40 sessions at Charlottesville Hyperbarics. Our community is incredibly fortunate to have this facility and team available to us!

Ok. First let me start by saying this. This is life changing. Unexpectedly life changing. The entire staff is awesome. any and all random stupid questions i asked, they had the answers to. I am going to miss the random conversations about obscure b list movies, the dad jokes and just the overall welcoming environment. At least until i schedule my next float and message. I had been doing message therapy and aqua floats for over a year to help me calm down and work on my physical health. The Marine Corps beat me up pretty bad. I had all but gave up on trying to fix my PTSD and TBI. Until Ansley suggested HBOT. HBOT has all but eliminated the random night terrors I was having, helped me have a more restorative sleep, I no longer have knee and back pain, and i feel more focused through out the day. I'm not sure if this is a product of HBOT or not, but my eating schedule is no longer, whatever junk i grab at the end of the day, but now its actually eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kind of like a normal person. And as a bonus, you get to either get to catch up with your favorite TV drama or, best of all, take a nap in the middle of the day. I'm sure I'm leaving out other thing this helped or healed for me. It's a lot. I encourage any and all VETS to do this and trust the process. THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER.

Do not give in to the wars within
22 a day, is 22 to many

A beautiful healing facility.
The employees are very kind, courteous, and helpful.
I went through a 40 dive program also involving float chamber (sensory deprivation) and messages.
From the halfway point, I started to recognize physical and mental improvements.
I finished my program and have been informed that the improvements will continue for another 2 or 3 weeks. Such a blessing.
I am grateful and blessed to have experienced the life changes that have been made possible through Charlottesville hyperbaric.

I went for HBOT for CKD, Lung disease, and bell palsy. In 2 sessions reduced chronic bell palsy symptons and lungs were feeling better. Kidneys numbers started to get better after treatments. My son went to for brain fog and migranes. It has been 4 months and no major migranes. The staff is great and we felt safe going into the chamber. Thanks!

Tremendous, caring staff. I enjoyed just being around them. I, indeed, had mini-miracles and am very thankful I was able to have this treatment.

I was in Charlottesville for a surgery and went to CH 9 times. Not only did the hyperbaric chamber help with my post surgery swelling and bruising, it also helped with a non surgery related back and neck issue that I was having. I was beyond impressed and felt completely safe with the kind, professional and hard working staff. Because of the wonderful experience that CH provided I have become a big believer in the healing qualities that Hyperbaric Chambers have in the healing process. Very grateful to the whole team at CH

As a veteran, I was able to receive intensive HBOT through a grant (Project Gratitude) provided by the HOW foundation. Although I was skeptical, I was fed up with traditional medicine. Prior to treatment, I rated my mental and physical health poor. I had been struggling to return to my formerly active self after a major health crisis, had gained weight due to medications and had been dealing with trauma from my military service.
I now recommend HBOT to anyone and everyone who will listen. The difference after treatment is night and day. I am sleeping better, surgery sites that were tender and sore no longer hurt, chronic pain and inflammation are less and I am the most emotionally stable I've been in a long time.
The team at Charlottesville Hyperbarics are empathic, compassionate and knowledgeable. They listen and they care. I am grateful to have been gifted this opportunity and for the team at Charlottesville Hyperbarics.
