Why HBOT

How HBOT Helps

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an Advanced, Outpatient, Physician-referred therapy that improves the healing ability in compromised patients. HBOT is proven effective for use as an adjunct to traditional medical therapies and rehabilitation.

HBOT Increases the oxygen gradient in damaged, oxygen starved tissues. The oxygen you breathe in the chamber dissolves into your blood more efficiently, acting as a cellular energy catapult so that your plasma and tissues are saturated beyond a cellular level.

Scientifically speaking, in the mitochondria, one mole of regular oxygen combines with one mole of glucose and creates 2 moles of ATP. But with HBOT, one mole of Hyperbaric oxygen combines with one mole of glucose and creates 36 moles of ATP. That is a dramatic increase in energy provided for healing.

That's why our name and acronym make sense.
