Enhancing Your Regenerative Journey
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can be a powerful addition to your regenerative health journey at OmniStem
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a natural, non-invasive treatment in which patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a specialized chamber. This chamber is pressurized to levels two to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure, allowing the lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen. This increase in oxygen levels helps boost the body’s natural healing capabilities, reduces inflammation, and improves overall cellular health.
At OmniStem, HBOT plays a key role in our regenerative medicine programs for patients receiving stem cell therapies. By enriching oxygen delivery to tissues and damaged cells, HBOT can accelerate healing, optimize stem cell effectiveness, and enhance patient outcomes.
Key Benefits of HBOT for Regenerative Patients
Accelerated Healing and Recovery
HBOT amplifies oxygen availability throughout the body, particularly in tissues targeted by regenerative treatments. This faster healing can be especially beneficial for patients recovering from chronic inflammation, injury, or surgery.
Enhanced Stem Cell Activation
Research suggests that HBOT enhances the vitality and efficacy of stem cells, improving their ability to differentiate, multiply, and promote tissue repair. This makes HBOT a valuable component in maximizing the impact of stem cell therapies.
Reduced Inflammation and Pain Relief
HBOT’s oxygen-rich environment reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, enhancing regeneration and alleviating pain in conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and autoimmune disorders.
Improved Immune Function
By increasing oxygen levels in the blood, HBOT strengthens immune system responses, reducing infection risks and promoting an environment where cells can repair and regenerate without the interference of infection or immune challenges.
What to Expect During an HBOT Session
During an HBOT session, you’ll relax in a comfortable, pressurized chamber while breathing in pure oxygen. The session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, during which the pressure within the chamber is gradually increased. Patients may feel a gentle pressure in the ears, similar to ascending in an airplane, as the oxygen saturates tissues throughout the body. After the session, the chamber is slowly depressurized, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Our team will guide you every step of the way, monitoring your progress and ensuring you receive the full benefits of each session.
Frequently Asked Questions about HBOT Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a natural, non-invasive treatment in which patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a specialized chamber. This chamber is pressurized to levels two to three times higher than normal atmospheric pressure, allowing the lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen. This increase in oxygen levels helps boost the body’s natural healing capabilities, reduces inflammation, and improves overall cellular health.
The experience in a hyperbaric chamber is often compared to the sensation of flying in an airplane. As the chamber pressurizes, you may notice a slight pressure in your ears, similar to ascending or descending during a flight. You might also feel a mild temperature change, it can become warmer as the chamber pressurizes and cooler during depressurization. HBOT is a relaxing, painless therapy, and our staff will ensure your comfort throughout the session.
At OmniStem, we harness the therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (U-MSCs). These exosomes act as messengers, delivering regenerative signals to damaged tissues to support healing and reduce inflammation.
We recommend that patients avoid eating or drinking (specifically carbonated beverages) directly prior to treatment, unless medically required, to avoid the need to use the restroom or cause an upset stomach during the session.
Some medications are incompatible with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; a complete list of medications and supplements taken by the patient should be provided to the medical team during the initial consult, and updates should always be provided.
To maximize the benefit of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, smoking of any kind should be avoided during the course of a patient’s complete treatment protocol. Smoking causes vasoconstriction and accumulation of carbon monoxide and other wastes, all which are counterproductive to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Lastly, alcohol consumption should be avoided at least 8 hours prior to treatment.
Following HBOT, most patients feel relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Some report a boost in energy, reduced pain, or a general sense of calm and well-being. Occasionally, mild fatigue or drowsiness can occur as the body adjusts to the increased oxygenation, these are normal and temporary effects. You can resume normal daily activities, such as driving, working, or light exercise, immediately after the session.
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session before flying. The pressure changes experienced during air travel can affect your body’s response to HBOT. Likewise, if you have recently flown, waiting 24 hours before starting your therapy ensures the treatment's effectiveness and minimizes any potential pressure-related discomfort.
At OmniStem, we use spacious, anti-claustrophobic hyperbaric chambers designed to maximize comfort.
If you experience claustrophobia, please inform our medical team. Techniques such as controlled breathing, guided relaxation, or listening to calming audio can help manage any discomfort.
Our team will monitor you closely and support you throughout the session. If needed, you can exit the chamber at any time using our dedicated safety procedures.
Typically, a single HBOT session lasts approximately 60 minutes, though duration may vary depending on your personalized treatment plan. Each protocol is carefully designed by our medical team to ensure optimal results.
