Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy {HBOT}, Jacksonville, Florida, or Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers, offers a non-invasive method of delivering more oxygen into the body by increasing the atmospheric pressure. When we go into a hyperbaric chamber, the pressure is increased over the 1 ATA (standard atmosphere) that we live in at sea level. This increase in pressure allows more oxygen to be absorbed through the lungs. This abundance of oxygen yields various physiological, biochemical, and cellular effects that enhance healing and wellness. HBOT is the most medically accepted way to increase oxygen levels in all body organs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe? Are there any dangers?
HBOT is very safe, mainly when applied at the lower pressures used in this office. Oxygen toxicity and other adverse reactions are rare and pertain more to hospital settings, where much higher pressure is used due to extreme life—and limb-threatening conditions. Additionally, all procedures are under the Medical Director, Dr. Jeff Ruterbusch, M.D.
How long is a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session?
A typical session referred to as a dive, takes 10 - 15 minutes to get from our normal pressure to the treatment pressure. You will then spend 60 - 90 minutes under pressure. After that, it takes 10 - 15 minutes to “come back up” to our atmospheric pressure. This time varies slightly depending on each person’s ability to clear the pressure in their ears. This can vary daily, depending on sinus pressure or congestion.
How many sessions should I get?
The frequency and number of sessions will vary according to your condition and goals. You can dive once a day for five days or twice a day for five weeks! During your consultation, Dr. Renee personalizes protocols based on your unique needs.
What does Hyperbaric Therapy treat?
Clinical research has shown that HBOT helps many more conditions beyond the fourteen FDA indications. Functional Health and Wellness treatments include:
Reverse Aging at the Cellular Level
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been demonstrated in clinical studies to reduce the signs of aging and age-related diseases. In 2006, a landmark study showed an 800% increase in stem cell mobilization from a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Another landmark study discussed the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on telomere length. In this study, a 3-month course of hyperbaric therapy produced a profound increase in telomere length of 20% – 38%.
