WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

WHAT IS HBOT
Inside a hyperbaric chamber, atmospheric pressure is raised to 1.5–3 times normal. At this pressure, your lungs can absorb significantly more oxygen than they can at sea level — saturating your bloodstream, plasma, and tissues in ways normal breathing simply cannot achieve. The result: oxygen reaches damaged tissue, areas of poor circulation, and parts of your body that are oxygen-starved after injury or illness. This supercharged environment activates healing processes that are otherwise slow or stalled. Dr. Arthur Annis specializes in HBOT at Myrtle Grove Chiropractic and works with patients on individualized treatment plans based on their specific health goals and conditions.
The Science
At 2–3 atmospheres of pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into blood plasma — not just red blood cells. This allows oxygen to reach tissue that blood vessels can't easily access.
Elevated oxygen levels suppress inflammatory signaling pathways, helping to reduce swelling in joints, soft tissue, and neurological systems that are overreacting after injury.
HBOT has been shown to stimulate the release of stem cells from bone marrow — the body's own repair team — accelerating tissue regeneration and recovery.
WHAT TO EXPECT
No long-term commitment. easy to reschedule
01
Dr. Arthur reviews your health history, current symptoms, and goals. He'll confirm whether HBOT is appropriate for your situation and what results are realistic.
02
You'll lie comfortably inside the hyperbaric chamber. Sessions last 60–90 minutes. Most patients read, rest, or simply relax. Some notice a slight pressure change in their ears — similar to descending in a plane.
03
Depending on your condition, you may need 10–40 sessions. Dr. Annis will outline a clear schedule with checkpoints so you can track your progress and adjust as needed.
