Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

At The Dearing Clinic in Nashville, our integrative medicine team takes a personalized approach to patient wellness. We use a medical grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (also known as HBOT) to help treat many conditions, including Long-Haul COVID, Crohn’s disease, Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, ADHD, concussions, autism, mold exposure, stroke, skin wounds, chronic pain syndromes, neuropathy, and spinal cord/brain injuries. This restorative therapy can be used as either a standalone treatment or as an adjunct to your personal care plan.

Our medical grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber provides four times the pressure of a standard HBOT chamber (2.0 ATA versus the standard 0.5 ATA), meaning our patients receive a greater level of healing, especially those with neurological and/or nerve disorders. This also creates an environment that promotes anti-aging by targeting aged cells, a process known as senescent cell therapy.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a unique treatment that uses a special chamber to create a 100 percent oxygenated, high air pressure environment to enrich the blood with oxygen. The increased air pressure allows the lungs to collect more oxygen and forces oxygenated blood into areas of injury. This therapy accelerates healing for both acute and chronic conditions. Originally used in diving medicine to treat divers suffering from decompression sickness, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is now used to treat many conditions.

FAQs About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Below are answers to many of the questions we have received about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses a special pressurized chamber filled with 100 percent oxygen. The high oxygen concentration and pressure increase the body’s oxygenated blood flow to areas of injury or inflammation and helps those areas to heal more quickly.

How long do the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy last?

While results may vary for each patient, in general the healing effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy last for about 12 months.

How often should you do hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

We recommend receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments three to five times a week for about one hour per session. The number of sessions required will vary based on your personal situation.

Can I do hyperbaric oxygen therapy at home?

At The Dearing Clinic in Nashville, we use a special medical grade chamber for hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments. While it is possible to purchase hyperbaric oxygen chambers for home use, the cost can be prohibitive depending on your wellness needs and financial means. Additionally, a standard HBOT chamber will not provide the additional benefits you’ll receive from using a medical grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber.

Are there any hyperbaric oxygen therapy side effects?

The most common side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are lightheadedness and fatigue due to the increase in cellular activity within the body. Nasal dryness and headaches are also possible side effects. If you have recently had a cold or fever, ear surgery or injury, eye surgery or injury, or have certain lung diseases, contact The Dearing Clinic to discuss the ideal waiting period before you can receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy to avoid unwanted side effects and get the most benefit from your experience.

What if I’m concerned about hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost?

Depending on your condition, we will find an effective hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment plan that meets your health and wellness needs within your budget. If you have any questions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost, please contact us.
