HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Lifespan Health offers patients a range of hyperbaric modalities and pressures to insure the ideal treatment parameters for the condition being treated.
You can be assured that your sessions are being managed by a physician who has extensive training in and knowledge of hyperbaric oxygen therapies over a wide-range of clinic indications.
Hyperbaric Therapy
Oxygen under pressure
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
This therapy enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, healing and recovery from various conditions.
By increasing the oxygen levels in the body, HBOT supports the natural healing process and can lead to improved overall health.
multiple pressure options
1.3-1.5 ATA for head injuries, concusions, sleep disturbance, health optimization
2 ATA ideal pressure for cancer, chronic infections, environmental toxicities
3 ATA hospital-grade hyperbaric treatments for chronic wounds, sports injuries

The HBOT Procedure
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is performed in consecutive and cumulative sessions or “dives” with each session making incremental improvements in cellular and systemic health.
Each dive follows the following sequence:
Pre-procedure
Your medical history is reviewed by the Lifespan Health clinician, to assure you are a good candidate for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Then our Hyperbaric Technician reviews your orders and gets you comfortable in the hyperbaric chamber, and starts the procedure.
The “dive” down
Pressures is gradually increased, as you breath oxygen via a mask, until the prescribed pressure (1.4 to 2.0 ATA) is achieved.
Treatment at target pressure
Treatment continues at the prescribed pressure for a period of 30-60 minutes, during which you continue receive oxygen via mask. During this period you may read, sleep or meditate.
Coming up
Then pressure is gradually decreased until the chamber pressure equals the exterior pressure. The technician assures you feel well and answers any questions.
And repeat
Sessions are continued daily or several times/week depending on your prescribed treatment plan.
