Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is breathing concentrated oxygen while under increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT is a way to hypothetically “turn up the volume” of oxygen absorption throughout your body. In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure.

Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible by breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, it helps the body fight infection and stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells as well as triggering collagen growth and increased blood flow which all promote healing and accelerate cellular regeneration. We offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Gilbert AZ because it is so effective in treating chronic pain.
