Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Englewood, CO
A Different Approach to Supporting Recovery and Wellness
Your body depends on oxygen for nearly every process involved in normal function and recovery. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, commonly referred to as HBOT, involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized environment.
At High Caliber Chiropractic, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is available as one of the supportive services we offer to patients looking for a more comprehensive approach to their health, recovery, and wellness.
Our team can help you determine whether HBOT may be appropriate for your individual needs and answer your questions about what to expect.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves spending time inside a specialized chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased while you breathe oxygen.
Under increased pressure, the body can take in more oxygen than it would under normal conditions. This increased oxygen availability is the basis for the use of hyperbaric therapy in medical and wellness settings.
The experience itself is generally straightforward. You relax inside the chamber for a designated amount of time while the system maintains the appropriate environment for your session.
Why Is Oxygen Important for Recovery?
Oxygen plays an essential role throughout the body. Your tissues rely on it for normal cellular function, and adequate oxygen is an important part of the body’s natural healing processes.
Hyperbaric therapy creates an environment designed to increase the amount of oxygen available to the body during a session.
At High Caliber Chiropractic, we look at HBOT as one potential part of a broader approach to recovery and wellness. Whether it makes sense for you will depend on your individual circumstances and goals.
Hyperbaric Therapy for Active Lifestyles
Training, sports, demanding work, and an active lifestyle can place significant stress on the body.
Recovery is an important part of staying active, especially for people who regularly train or place higher physical demands on themselves.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be incorporated into a broader recovery routine alongside other services available at High Caliber Chiropractic.
Our team can discuss your goals and help determine whether adding hyperbaric sessions to your routine is appropriate for you.
What Happens During an HBOT Session?
If you are new to hyperbaric therapy, it is normal to have questions about what the experience will be like.
-
Before your first session, our team will explain how the chamber works, review relevant information with you, and answer any questions you have.
-
During your session, you will enter the hyperbaric chamber and relax while the chamber is gradually pressurized. You may notice pressure changes in your ears similar to what you experience during an airplane flight or when traveling through changes in elevation.
-
Once your session is complete, the chamber is gradually returned to normal atmospheric pressure before you exit.
Specific session recommendations can vary, so our team will discuss what is appropriate based on your individual situation.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Right for Everyone?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not appropriate for everyone.
Certain health conditions, medications, and other factors may affect whether someone is a good candidate for hyperbaric therapy. That is why it is important to discuss your health history and any questions you have before beginning sessions.
HBOT should also not be viewed as a replacement for necessary medical care. If you are currently being treated for a medical condition, continue following the recommendations of your healthcare providers.
A Broader Approach to Your Health
High Caliber Chiropractic offers more than chiropractic adjustments alone.
By bringing services such as chiropractic care, massage, stretching, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy together in one practice, we can provide patients with different options based on their individual needs and goals.
Not every patient needs every service. We will help you understand the options available and determine what makes sense for you.
