Hyperbaric Chamber in Dallas, TX
What Is a Hyperbaric Chamber?
Breathing can be therapeutic in many ways in a hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing 100% pure oxygen while encapsulated in a chamber. Pressurized to a level higher than normal air pressure, a hyperbaric chamber helps the lungs breathe in more oxygen, delivering oxygen to the tissues to help the body heal and fight infections. Studies show that employing HBOT can have positive preconditioning effects, potentially enhancing postoperative healing, recovery, and results. Our holistic care team at Recover ITC can tell you all about the benefits of breathing pure oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber. HBOT can treat many medical conditions, including:
- Severe anemia
- Burns
- Wounds that won’t heal
- Traumatic brain injury
- Bubbles of air in your blood vessels
- Vision loss
- Addiction recovery
- Stroke prevention and recovery
- Lyme disease
- Autism

How Does a Hyperbaric Chamber Work?
After your consultation with our holistic healthcare team, you will lie down in the monoplace unit and breathe normally. Increased pressure inside the chamber allows oxygen to be dissolved and saturated more effectively in the bloodstream, primarily reaching the plasma portion. With pressure 2 – 3 times higher than normal air pressure inside the chamber, you may experience a temporary fullness in your ears, similar to what you might feel in an airplane or at a high elevation, which may be relieved by yawning or swallowing. A typical treatment lasts for 60 – 90 minutes. Scientists continue to study the hyperbaric chamber’s effects on many different conditions and how increasing oxygen levels benefits body organs. For example, one study indicated that HBOT showed promise in helping tumor regression, providing additional support that this therapy is also beneficial for malignant gliomas.
What Are the Benefits of a Hyperbaric Chamber?
Depending on your medical condition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may require more than one session.
