What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
What Is HBOT?
It is a medical treatment in which the patient is entirely enclosed in a chamber and breathes 100% oxygen while the chamber pressure is increased to a pressure greater than one atmosphere (1ATA). In HBOT the patient inhales oxygen at high pressure inside a chamber. In the hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is raised up to 1.3 to 3 ATA which is higher than the normal atmospheric pressure 1ATA. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather more oxygen than normal conditions which dissolves in the blood plasma.
Why HBOT?
It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. Most illnesses and injuries occur, and often linger, at the cellular or tissue level. In many cases, such as: circulatory problems; non-healing wounds; and strokes, adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged area and the body's natural healing ability is unable to function properly. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides this extra oxygen naturally and with minimal side effects.
Who Is Hyperbaric oxygen for?
On-Label Conditions
On-label conditions for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) refer to the specific medical issues that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially approved for treatment using HBOT. These conditions are recognized based on evidence that demonstrates the therapy’s safety and effectiveness for these particular uses. When HBOT is used for these approved conditions, it is considered an on-label use, meaning it aligns with the FDA’s guidelines and recommendations
Off-Label Conditions
At Integrative Hyperbaric, we explore the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) beyond the traditional uses approved by the FDA. Off-label conditions for HBOT are those that haven’t yet received official approval but show promise based on emerging research and patient experiences. Many individuals have reported positive outcomes. Our approach is to integrate this innovative therapy with other treatments to provide a holistic and personalized care experience.
2 Types of Mono-place (single occupancy) Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers
We Provide Medical Grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Breathing near 100% o2
- 1.5 - 3.0 Atmospheres of Pressure (ATA)
- Used in Hospitals & Clinics
- "Off-label" Conditions treated (Primarily Cash)
We Do Not Have Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Breathing 90%+ o2 using a mask
- 1.3 Atmospheres of pressure (ATA)
- Some clinics use no Oxygen, no masks this is called Mild Hyperbaric Therapy (MHT)
- "Off-label" Conditions treated (Primarily Cash)

COVID Long-Hauler Syndrome: A Multisystem Treatment
June 11, 2021|COVID-19
Written by Shannon Ginnan M.D.
Covid has been on our minds and lips for the last year and a half, and unfortunately this will likely continue with the growing number of Covid Long-Haulers. Known as MIS for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, it’s continued symptoms relate to many organ systems continued damage even after the acute infection is resolved.
While we don’t fully know what triggers this phenomenon, it’s likely caused by the virus putting an individual’s immune system into a state of overdrive and hyper-reactivity. There is not yet conclusive data to identify who’s at risk for becoming a Long-Hauler, but there is likely underlying inflammation from a multitude of sources that acts as a catalyst, and possibly genetic predispositions.
Long-hauler symptoms include:
• Headache
• Fatigue/weakness
• Brain Fog
• Insomnia
• Anxiety/Depression
• Shortness of breath/chest pain
• Decreased kidney function
• Heart palpitations
• Loss of taste/smell
• Joint/muscle pain
• Dizziness
• Many others…
Treatment should involve the following therapeutic interventions:
1. Decrease systemic inflammation
2. Modulate the immune system
3. Increase cellular energy production
4. Eliminate damaged cells (known as Autophagy)
5. Repair damaged tissues
6. Balance the nervous system
Here are a few treatments that can help achieve these goals:
1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy long-hauler case studies are reflecting rapid improvements by reversing hypoxia, reducing neuro-inflammation, improving tissue oxygenation and much more.
2. Potent anti-inflammatory nutraceuticals include Omega-3 EPA/DHA fish oil, Curcumin, Boswellia, MSM, Resveratrol and Glutathione.
3. Strong immune system modulators include Zinc + Quercetin, Vitamin D3 (should be taken with vitamins A and K), Andrographis, and Cordyceps.
4. Autophagy is activated by fasting daily for 12 hours or more and keeping protein intake intermittently low. Supplements that can assist with cellular energization include CoEnzyme Q10 with PQQ, D-Ribose and L-Carnitine.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for persistent Covid symptoms and long-hauler syndrome is currently undergoing clinical trials as an effective form of treatment for patients of vast medical backgrounds. There are also many things to consider for individuals from a functional medicine perspective, including intestinal barrier permeability, hormone balance, gut microbiome, silent infections, toxins, and others that can affect recovery.
Case studies from Hyperbaric treatment for long-haulers are documenting impressive results in patients suffering with brain fog, dizziness, depression, headaches, fatigue, weakness and oxygen saturation, with results in as few as five treatments. After the ravaging effect of Covid on the world and over 30 million patients, the results we are seeing with effective multisystem treatment approaches for patients are quite encouraging.
