At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe in the body’s natural ability to heal — and we’re proud to offer cutting-edge solutions that enhance that process. One such innovation is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), now available near Kennesaw, GA.
HBOT is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to accelerate healing in tissues, reduce inflammation, and support the body's recovery mechanisms. As you comfortably rest inside a hyperbaric chamber, your lungs take in oxygen at higher-than-normal levels, allowing it to dissolve directly into your bloodstream and reach areas of the body where healing is most needed.
In a world where chronic pain, lingering injuries, and slow-healing wounds are all too common, many patients are seeking safe, effective alternatives to surgery or long-term medication. HBOT offers just that — a way to supercharge the body’s healing without the need for invasive procedures or dependence on narcotics.
Used by elite athletes, trauma patients, and those recovering from surgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is backed by decades of research and continues to grow in popularity due to its wide-ranging benefits, comfort, and minimal risk profile.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, everything we do is centered around “Optimally Restoring Your Quality of Life.” Our team of skilled physicians and therapists utilizes therapies that are evidence-based, minimally invasive, and focused on long-term healing — not just symptom management.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy fits seamlessly into this philosophy. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or managing a sports injury, HBOT can be a transformative part of your recovery plan.
We don’t just treat symptoms — we target the root cause of your pain and support your body's journey to restoration. HBOT is one of many tools we use to help our patients regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in their everyday lives.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, typically within a specialized chamber. Under normal conditions, oxygen is carried through the body by red blood cells. However, during HBOT, the increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve directly into the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and other bodily fluids — dramatically boosting the amount of oxygen available to tissues throughout the body.
When you breathe pure oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber, the atmospheric pressure is increased to 1.5 to 3 times greater than normal air pressure. This allows your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen than they could under normal conditions.
Why is this important? Oxygen is essential to nearly every cellular function in the body — particularly tissue repair, immune response, and inflammation control. When oxygen levels in the blood are increased:
This makes HBOT especially valuable in conditions where blood flow or oxygen delivery is compromised, such as after injury, surgery, or in certain chronic disease states.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy for several medical conditions, including but not limited to:
In addition to these, many clinics and physicians — including those specializing in integrative pain management and regenerative medicine — also use HBOT “off-label” for a broader range of conditions. These off-label uses may include chronic pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and autoimmune-related inflammation. While not FDA-approved for these conditions, growing clinical research and patient experiences support its potential benefit.
Oxygen is essential for cell repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. By delivering pure oxygen under increased pressure, HBOT supercharges these natural healing pathways, helping your body recover faster and more efficiently.
Many chronic conditions stem from or are worsened by inflammation. HBOT reduces inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, offering relief for those suffering from long-term pain — without the side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs or opioids.
From surgical incisions to diabetic foot ulcers, wounds need oxygen to heal. HBOT stimulates blood vessel growth and enhances white blood cell function, dramatically improving the healing of wounds that might otherwise linger or worsen.
Oxygen plays a vital role in brain and nerve health. HBOT can help restore oxygen to damaged neurons, improving function in patients with nerve pain, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, or post-concussion symptoms.
Hyperbaric oxygen increases your body’s ability to fight infection. It enhances white blood cell activity and helps block the spread of harmful bacteria, making HBOT especially helpful in post-surgical recovery and wound care.
One of the biggest benefits of HBOT is what it doesn’t involve — no incisions, no downtime, and no dependency on medications. It’s a safe, FDA-cleared therapy that fits into a holistic care plan for long-term wellness.
Each HBOT session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan. You’ll rest comfortably in a hyperbaric chamber — either a private monoplace unit or a larger multiplace chamber — where the air pressure is increased gradually to 1.5 to 3 times normal atmospheric pressure.
Inside the chamber, you’ll breathe in 100% pure oxygen, relax, and allow your body to begin its deep healing work. Many patients pass the time by listening to music, meditating, or even napping. The process is completely painless and non-invasive.
HBOT is most effective when performed over a series of treatments. While the exact number depends on your condition and health goals, most patients receive anywhere from 10 to 40 sessions, often spread out over several weeks.
Your provider at Medici will create a customized treatment plan based on your diagnosis, response to therapy, and overall health profile.
At Medici, your safety and care are our top priorities. HBOT sessions are overseen by specially trained medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, and certified hyperbaric technologists. You are monitored throughout the entire treatment, and staff are always nearby to address any questions or needs you may have.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a calm, supportive environment where healing can happen both physically and emotionally.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is considered very safe, especially when administered under medical supervision — as it is here at Medici. Before starting treatment, we’ll perform a full evaluation to ensure HBOT is appropriate for you.
