Introducing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
We are excited to offer HBOT here at Freedom Healthcare

Timing
Treatments are one hour. Each treatment builds upon the prior treatments. Some people may want one or two treatments, and some may want to do up to 40+ (it depends on your treatment goals).
For quick recovery from sports, like a challenging tennis match, minor injury, or a long endurance race, one to two treatments would work great. However, for more severe conditions, such as long COVID symptoms, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, you may consider 10-40+ treatments. There are more examples below.
Benefits
Around the world, there are 70-80 recognized and studied conditions that HBOT therapy has been proven to help. However, given the mechanism of action, which is increasing oxygenation and blood flow deeper into tissues, it can be helpful for any condition that requires healing or repair. It doesn’t mean this treatment will cure all things, but it improves symptoms. Studies consistently show 30% faster and better outcomes and 80% of conditions treated have significant improvement.

What could be treated
Hide
Long-COVID symptoms/COVID Brain
This symptomatology is relatively new and still being studied. Preliminary studies have been done on COVID brain, loss of smell and taste, fatigue, vascular and neurologic problems. These symptoms appear to be due to ongoing inflammation and overreaction of the immune system, which HBOT helps reverse. It also increases blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged tissues thereby assisting in the repair/healing process.
Autoimmune Diseases
HBOT decreases inflammation which helps with autoimmune diseases (Crohn’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and more). Studies have shown great success in reducing inflammation in these conditions, even putting some patients into remission, if they completed enough sessions.
Pain and Inflammation (due to injury, infection, or disease)
Parasympathetic/Autonomic Response
HBOT helps improve autonomic function (the processes in your body that you don’t do voluntarily), such as digestion, relaxation, sleep, and restoration.
Epigenetic Expression
HBOT can change how your genes are expressed by helping genetic predispositions calm down if they are overactive. For example, HBOT can positively affect 8,101 known genes, reducing inflammation and pain by releasing “feel-good” hormones, endorphins, and neurotransmitters. In addition, HBOT increases sleep quality, regulates stress by decreasing the fight or flight reaction, and improves the rest/digest/repair state.
HBOT has shown benefits
In all of the following conditions:
- Achy joints
- ADHD – it helps with focus as well as increasing the neurotransmitters in the brain that are needed in ADHD
- Alzheimer’s/Dementia
- Angina – after 40 treatments, HBOT has been shown that people with cardiovascular disease have improved cardiovascular function
- Asthma/Allergies
- Autism – may help with symptoms
- Bone density
- Brain fog
- Cerebral palsy
- Chronic fatigue (depending on the underlying causes)
- Decreases swelling
- Depression/Anxiety
- Detoxification
- Drug withdrawal
- Energy and stamina
- Enhances physical therapy
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches
- Hair growth and health
- Increases collagen and stem cell production, which slows down many aging processes
- Increases circulation
- Improves and supports immune system
- Lyme disease
- Mold exposure
- Mood swings
- Neuropathy
- Plastic surgery – after surgery people see much less swelling and bruising and can go out in public sooner
- Post-stroke recovery
- Post-heart attack recovery
- Post-concussion/traumatic brain injury recovery
- Post-surgery recovery – HBOT has been shown to decrease recovery time by 30-75%
- Strength and mobility
- Wound healing and diabetic ulcers
Pre-event treatment
If you have an important event, meeting, presentation, talk, or exam coming up, a few treatments can improve mental clarity and focus.
Recommend: 1-5 treatments (in advance).
Post-event Treatment
75% faster recovery
HBOT treatment can help with intense workouts, long races, weightlifting, illness, and surgery.This treatment can help athletes and we recommend a session the day before and the day after a big event. HBOT makes cells more efficient at using oxygen to repair the body and creates and improves stamina.
As we all know, there is not a one-pill cure-all treatment. Lifestyle and exposure affect our short-term and long-term health. The better nutrients you have in your body during HBOT, the better the outcomes will likely be.

Disclaimers:
If you have the following conditions, you should not use HBOT:
- Collapsed or punctured lung
- Sickle cell anemia

- Pregnancy
If you are on the following medications, you should not use HBOT:
- Bleomycin
- Cisplatin
- Doxorubicin
- Sulfamylon
- Disulfiram
- Mafenide Acetate
Note: you need to clear your ears as though you are driving up the mountain and your ears get clogged. So if you are congested, it is recommended that you wait until the congestion resolves. Decongestants may help, and you can always try, but you may not be able to get fully under pressure, and you could be at risk of popping an eardrum.
The FDA has approved 14 conditions for HBOT. In addition, other countries have studied, recognized, and approved up to 94 conditions. The statements/claims made in this email are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
