What To Expect From Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHyperbaric oxygen therapy typically is performed as an outpatient procedure and doesn’t require hospitalization.

Here at Wellness Garden we provide Hperbaric Oxygen Therapy in a one person unit.

A unit designed for 1 person. In an individual (monoplace) unit, you lie down inside the tube which has a dual zipper mechanism.

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the air pressure in the room is about two to three times normal air pressure. The increased air pressure will create a temporary feeling of fullness in your ears — similar to what you might feel in an airplane or at a high elevation. You can relieve that feeling by yawning or swallowing.

For most conditions, therapy lasts approximately two hours. Members of your health care team will monitor you and the therapy unit throughout your treatment.

After hyperbaric oxygen therapy

You may feel somewhat tired or hungry following your treatment. This doesn’t limit normal activities.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to treat several medical conditions. And medical institutions use it in different ways. Your doctor may suggest hyperbaric oxygen therapy if you have one of the following conditions:
