Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Advanced Hyperbaric | Hixson, TN

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a non-invasive treatment where you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This significantly increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, promoting faster healing, reducing inflammation, and helping the body fight infections.

What conditions does HBOT treat?

HBOT is FDA-approved and widely used for:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers

  • Chronic non-healing wounds

  • Radiation tissue damage

  • Post-surgical recovery

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Osteomyelitis (bone infection)

  • Crush injuries and burns

  • Skin graft or flap complications

  • Certain infections like necrotizing fasciitis

  • Sports Recovery

How long does an HBOT session last?

A typical session lasts about 60–90 minutes. Treatment plans usually include multiple sessions depending on your condition, often ranging from 10 to 40 sessions.

Is HBOT safe?

Yes. HBOT is clinically proven and administered under medical supervision. Mild side effects like ear pressure or fatigue may occur, but serious complications are rare.

What does it feel like inside the chamber?

You’ll feel a gentle pressure change, similar to what you feel during takeoff in an airplane. You can relax, nap, or watch TV during your treatment.

Will insurance cover HBOT?

Many insurance plans, including Medicare, cover HBOT for approved conditions such as diabetic wounds and radiation injury. We can verify your benefits before treatment.

How soon will I see results?

Some patients report improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require multiple treatments to experience full benefits. Healing varies depending on the condition and your overall health.

Can HBOT help with general wellness or anti-aging?

While HBOT is primarily used medically, it is increasingly popular in the wellness space for boosting energy, cognitive clarity, and recovery. Ask us about our preventive and wellness protocols.
