Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in West Los Angeles

Advanced Recovery & Wellness at Noor Physical Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that increases the amount of oxygen delivered throughout the body. During treatment, patients relax in a pressurized chamber while breathing oxygen through a mask, allowing oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into the bloodstream and tissues.

HBOT is commonly used to support recovery, promote healing, and improve tissue oxygenation.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

Inside the chamber, air pressure is increased above normal atmospheric pressure while you breathe oxygen through a mask. The higher pressure forces more oxygen into the bloodstream, allowing it to penetrate deeper into tissues throughout the body. This increased oxygen delivery can help support cellular repair, reduce swelling, promote circulation, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.

Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes.

Most sessions last approximately 60 minutes.

Is HBOT painful?
