Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) FAQs What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)? HBOT is a non-invasive treatment where patients breathe 96%+ pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This therapy increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream and tissues, enhancing healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s natural regenerative processes. What makes LMI’s HBOT chambers unique? At LMI, our HBOT chambers are designed with patient comfort and accessibility in mind. Unlike traditional lay-down chambers, our chambers allow patients to be seated comfortably. This design makes it easier to get in and out of the chamber, making the treatment accessible for individuals with mobility challenges or those who prefer a more upright position. Additionally, the spacious seating arrangement helps reduce feelings of claustrophobia, which are common in enclosed, lay-down chambers. What pressure levels are used in HBOT at LMI? We offer three advanced HBOT systems with adjustable pressures up to 2.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute). Pressure levels are tailored to suit individual needs and medical conditions, ensuring safe and effective treatment for every patient. How is the pressure customized for different conditions? The pressure used during HBOT is adjusted based on the patient’s condition and therapeutic goals. For example, lower pressures may be used for neurological conditions to minimize risks, while higher pressures are applied for musculoskeletal injuries or advanced wound healing to enhance oxygen delivery and efficacy. Is HBOT safe, and what are the potential side effects? HBOT is a safe, FDA-approved therapy when administered by trained professionals. At LMI, we follow strict safety protocols and provide continuous patient monitoring. Potential side effects, such as mild ear discomfort, sinus pressure, or temporary fatigue, are rare and typically resolve quickly. Gradual pressurization and depressurization are used to ensure patient comfort and safety. Why does LMI use 96%+ pure oxygen? Using 96%+ pure oxygen ensures the maximum therapeutic benefit by significantly increasing the oxygen saturation in the bloodstream and delivering it to tissues. This enhanced oxygenation promotes faster healing, tissue regeneration, and reduced inflammati on. How many HBOT sessions are typically required? The number of sessions depends on the individual’s condition and therapeutic goals. Acute conditions may require fewer sessions, while chronic conditions or anti-aging treatments may involve a more extended treatment plan for optimal results.
