Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an all-in-one treatment miracle machine. Here at Newport Mesa Wellness we utilize HBOT to help treat our sickest Lyme patients to our healthiest patients who just want to decrease their soreness after a good workout and feel a little younger in the process. There are so many conditions that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help with, not to mention the amazing overall wellness benefits.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment, at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve and saturate more effectively in the blood system, primarily the plasma (independent of hemoglobin) which yields a broad variety of positive physiological biochemical and cellular effects. This non-invasive therapy is the most trusted way to increase oxygen to all organs of the body. 

By increasing oxygenation, optimal cellular functioning can be achieved. More oxygen creates more energy for accelerated repair and enhanced regeneration of tissue.

Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatment here at Newport Mesa Wellness is about 70 minutes long. Most research on the benefits from HBOT has been done at 60 minutes under pressure time, so we make sure that is exactly what our patients get. It takes about 6 minutes to get to full pressure in our OxyHealth Vitaeris 320 bed, we allow for a full hour to pass, then it takes about 4 minutes for depressurization after treatment.

Inside the tank is your own personal time and space, so feel at home to watch a movie, listen to a podcast, play some meditative music to enrich your experience, or if you feel so inclined, simply take a nap. The minutes will fly by, and most of our patients come out of treatment feeling relaxed and calm, but also energized.
