Many of our patients come to us dealing with chronic pain that interferes with daily life, whether it’s persistent back or neck pain, joint stiffness, or nerve-related discomfort. Others are frustrated by slow-healing injuries, where months have passed and recovery still feels out of reach. We also see patients seeking support during post-surgical recovery, hoping to heal faster and reduce inflammation without relying heavily on medications. For some, the concern is more complex—neurological or inflammatory conditions that affect energy levels, cognition, or overall function.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we understand that these challenges are not just physical—they affect your quality of life, independence, and peace of mind. That’s why hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is offered as part of a physician-led, evidence-based approach to healing. Under the direction of Dr. Sonny Dosanjh, M.D., our team focuses on identifying the root cause of pain or delayed healing and supporting the body’s natural repair processes in the least invasive way possible.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by delivering concentrated oxygen in a controlled, pressurized medical environment, helping oxygen reach damaged or inflamed tissues more efficiently. At Medici, HBOT is not a standalone, one-size-fits-all solution—it’s thoughtfully integrated into personalized treatment plans designed to reduce inflammation, support recovery, and help patients regain function without unnecessary surgery or long-term drug dependence.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that helps the body heal by delivering 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a controlled, pressurized environment. By increasing air pressure beyond normal atmospheric levels, HBOT allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively into the bloodstream and reach damaged or inflamed tissues that may not be receiving enough oxygen on their own.
Pressurized Medical Chamber
Patients relax comfortably inside a specialized hyperbaric chamber where air pressure is safely increased. This pressure allows oxygen to travel deeper into tissues throughout the body.
100% Medical-Grade Oxygen
Unlike room air, which contains about 21% oxygen, hyperbaric therapy delivers pure oxygen to maximize healing potential.
Enhanced Oxygen Delivery at the Cellular Level
The combination of pressure and oxygen allows oxygen to dissolve into blood plasma, reaching areas with poor circulation and supporting repair at the cellular level.
Back and Neck Pain
HBOT may help reduce inflammation around spinal structures and improve oxygen delivery to damaged discs, muscles, and soft tissues.
Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
By calming inflammation and improving circulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support joint health and help relieve stiffness and discomfort.
Neuropathy and Nerve Pain
Improved oxygenation may support nerve repair and function, offering relief for patients experiencing burning, tingling, or numbness.
Fibromyalgia
HBOT can help address widespread pain and fatigue by improving cellular energy production and reducing inflammatory responses.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
For patients with CRPS, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support nervous system recovery.
Sports Injuries
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may speed recovery from strains, sprains, and overuse injuries by enhancing tissue repair and reducing swelling.
Auto Accident Injuries
Soft tissue damage and inflammation from motor vehicle accidents may respond well to improved oxygen delivery and reduced inflammation.
Work-Related Injuries
HBOT can support recovery from repetitive stress injuries, joint injuries, and musculoskeletal trauma common in workplace accidents.
Soft Tissue Damage
Oxygen-rich environments promote healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments that have been damaged by trauma or overuse.
Muscle Strains and Ligament Injuries
By increasing oxygen availability, HBOT supports faster repair and helps reduce pain and stiffness during recovery.
Post-Operative Recovery
HBOT may help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support faster healing following surgical procedures.
Non-Healing Wounds
In cases where wounds struggle to heal due to poor circulation or underlying conditions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can stimulate tissue repair.
Surgical Complications
HBOT may assist in managing inflammation, tissue stress, and delayed healing associated with surgical complications.
Reduced Scar Tissue Formation
Improved oxygen delivery can support healthier tissue regeneration and may help minimize excessive scar tissue development.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
HBOT may help support brain tissue healing by improving oxygen availability and reducing inflammation.
Stroke Recovery Support
Enhanced oxygen delivery can assist in recovery by supporting damaged brain tissue and improving cellular function.
Diabetic Neuropathy
By improving circulation and oxygenation, HBOT may help reduce nerve-related pain and promote nerve health.
Inflammatory Conditions
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help modulate inflammatory responses throughout the body.
Certain Chronic Fatigue–Related Conditions
Improved cellular oxygen use may support energy production and help reduce fatigue in select patients.
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not involve surgery, injections, or addictive medications. It works by enhancing the body’s own healing mechanisms through oxygen delivery, making it a safe option for many patients.
Accelerates Healing Naturally
Oxygen is essential for tissue repair. By increasing oxygen availability at the cellular level, HBOT helps speed up healing in damaged, inflamed, or poorly oxygenated tissues.
Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Chronic pain is often driven by inflammation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps calm inflammatory responses, which can lead to reduced pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Improves Energy and Cognitive Clarity
Many patients report improved energy levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being as oxygen delivery to the brain and nervous system improves.
Enhances Results of Other Treatments
HBOT works synergistically with physical therapy, regenerative medicine, injections, and interventional spine treatments. When used together, these therapies often produce better outcomes than when used alone.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment, making HBOT easy to fit into busy schedules.
Medical Evaluation and Diagnostic Review
Your physician will review your medical history, imaging, and diagnostic findings to determine whether HBOT fits into your overall treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Planning
Each patient receives a personalized plan outlining treatment goals, session frequency, and how HBOT will integrate with other therapies.
Safety Screening
A safety assessment is completed to identify any conditions or factors that may affect treatment, ensuring therapy is delivered in a controlled and secure environment.
The Hyperbaric Chamber
Patients relax inside a specialized medical-grade chamber while pressure is gradually increased. The environment is quiet, controlled, and supervised by trained staff.
Session Length and Comfort
Sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes. Most patients find the experience relaxing and may rest or listen to calming audio during treatment.
What You May Feel During Pressurization
As pressure increases, patients may notice a sensation similar to ear pressure during air travel. This is temporary and managed with simple techniques provided by the care team.
Immediate Post-Session Effects
Some patients report feeling more energized or mentally clear after treatment, while others feel relaxed. Mild fatigue can occur but usually resolves quickly.
Return to Daily Activities
There is little to no downtime, and patients can typically resume work, exercise, and daily responsibilities right away unless otherwise advised.
Typical Treatment Frequency and Duration
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients benefit from a short series of treatments, while others may require a longer course as part of a comprehensive care plan.
If you’ve been living with pain, delayed healing, or ongoing inflammation, it’s understandable to feel frustrated—or even discouraged. The good news is that healing doesn’t always require invasive procedures or long-term medication use. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a powerful, science-backed way to support your body’s natural repair processes and move toward real, lasting improvement.
