Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I buy my own hyperbaric chamber?

Many people receiving prescriptions for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) face long wait times, limited appointment availability, and distant travel to reach a clinic. Owning a personal hyperbaric chamber gives you the freedom to schedule sessions on your own terms—from the comfort of your home. StrongWellness offers mild hyperbaric chambers designed for home use that are safe, easy to operate, and accessible. We also carry larger models ideal for families with young children or individuals with limited mobility, including wheelchair users.

Does HBOT support Sports recovery?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports sports recovery by accelerating the body’s natural healing processes through increased oxygen delivery. Here’s how it helps athletes and active individuals:

  1. Speeds Up Muscle Recovery: Under pressure, HBOT significantly increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma. This extra oxygen reaches damaged muscle tissues more efficiently, reducing soreness and inflammation, and promoting faster recovery after intense workouts or injuries.
  2. Reduces Inflammation: HBOT has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce swelling and tissue damage caused by physical stress or trauma—key for athletes dealing with repetitive strain or acute injuries.
  3. Promotes Tissue Regeneration
  4. Oxygen is critical for cell repair and regeneration. HBOT enhances collagen production and speeds up the repair of muscle, tendon, ligament, and even bone injuries.
  5. Improves Circulation: By boosting oxygen levels in the bloodstream, HBOT helps restore blood flow to damaged areas, improving overall circulation and aiding in the removal of metabolic waste from fatigued muscles.
  6. Decreases Downtime: Faster healing means less time off from training or competition, making HBOT an attractive option for professional and recreational athletes alike.
  7. Boosts Energy & Performance: Enhanced mitochondrial function and increased ATP (cellular energy) production from HBOT can lead to better energy levels, sharper mental focus, and improved performance. Would you like a comparison between HBOT and other common recovery methods like cryotherapy or massage?

 

Can HBOT increase my energy levels?

Yes. HBOT increases the oxygen available in your bloodstream, allowing your body to deliver more oxygen to tissues—even those not typically reached by red blood cells. This increased oxygenation supports cell function, boosts energy levels, promotes healing, and enhances overall vitality.

How does HBOT support natural healing?

HBOT creates an oxygen-rich environment that supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate and repair. It can assist with a range of cognitive and physical issues, including Alzheimer’s, autism, anxiety, depression, and more. Users also report benefits for Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, post-surgical healing, and brain injuries. HBOT is a chemical-free, non-invasive option that supports recovery and overall wellness.

How does HBOT oxygenate the tissues?

Mild hyperbaric chambers increase the air pressure to 1.3 (atmospheres absolute), which pushes more oxygen into your lungs and bloodstream. The oxygen dissolves into your plasma and reaches tissues that are typically hard to access, helping reduce inflammation, increase circulation, stimulate healing, and support healthy cell regeneration throughout the body.

What conditions can HBOT help support?

With a prescription, HBOT is commonly used to support:

  • Decompression sickness
  • Carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning
  • Non-healing wounds (e.g., diabetic ulcers)
  • Gas gangrene
  • Radiation tissue damage
  • Osteomyelitis (chronic bone infection)
  • Severe anemia
  • Intracranial abscesses
  • Compromised skin grafts
  • Brain abscess
  • Burns and crush injuries
  • Sudden hearing or vision loss

Additional “Off-Label” Uses Some users report positive effects for conditions not officially covered by insurance due to limited clinical studies. These include:

  • Lyme disease
  • Stroke and traumatic brain injury
  • Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
  • Autism
  • Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
  • Sports injuries and post-surgery recovery
  • Heart disease, arthritis, asthma, and more
