Injuries can change the way you move, feel, and function. Whether you’re recovering from a muscle strain, tendon injury, surgery, or chronic inflammation, the healing process can feel slow and frustrating—especially when pain or limited mobility starts to interfere with work, hobbies, and everyday life. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we understand how deeply these challenges can affect your quality of life, and we’re here to help you heal in the safest, most effective way possible.
Tissue healing often slows down when the body is struggling with inflammation, poor circulation, or cellular stress. When an area doesn’t receive enough oxygen, the cells responsible for repair simply can’t work efficiently. This leads to prolonged swelling, stiffness, and ongoing discomfort.
This is where oxygen chamber therapy, also known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), becomes a powerful tool. By delivering oxygen at higher atmospheric pressure, HBOT dramatically increases the amount of oxygen your body can absorb, helping damaged tissues repair more quickly and effectively.
At Medici, we integrate oxygen chamber therapy as part of our minimally invasive, drug-sparing approach to recovery. Our goal is simple: help your body heal naturally, restore function safely, and reduce reliance on medications or surgery whenever possible.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that uses a pressurized oxygen chamber to increase the amount of oxygen your bloodstream can deliver to tissues. Under normal conditions, your blood cells carry oxygen to the body. Inside the chamber, however, oxygen dissolves directly into your blood plasma—creating levels of oxygen concentration that are impossible to achieve with normal breathing.
HBOT vs. Normal Oxygen Levels
In everyday life, your blood carries only a limited amount of oxygen. In an HBOT chamber, your blood plasma becomes saturated with oxygen, reaching inflamed or damaged areas that typically have poor circulation or limited oxygen supply.
How the Body Uses Oxygen More Effectively Under Pressure
With more oxygen available, your cells can:
This makes HBOT a powerful tool for patients recovering from injuries, surgery, or chronic inflammation.
Oxygen chamber therapy works at the cellular and tissue level to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and restore function. By dramatically increasing the oxygen available to injured or stressed tissues, HBOT helps the body repair itself more efficiently and more completely. Here’s how this therapy supports recovery from the inside out:
Normally, oxygen travels throughout the body attached to red blood cells. But inside a pressurized HBOT chamber, oxygen dissolves directly into the blood plasma—a game-changing benefit for healing.
Delivery of Oxygen Beyond Red Blood Cells
Plasma-saturated oxygen can reach areas with limited blood flow, delivering far more oxygen than the body could absorb under normal conditions.
Reaching Hypoxic or Poorly Perfused Tissues
Injured tissues often suffer from low oxygen levels, slowing healing. HBOT helps oxygen penetrate deeply into these hard-to-reach areas, fueling cellular repair.
Inflammation is one of the biggest barriers to healing. HBOT helps calm inflammation naturally.
How Vasoconstriction Reduces Fluid Buildup
The increased pressure in the chamber causes gentle vasoconstriction—narrowing of blood vessels—which reduces fluid leakage and decreases swelling.
Benefits for Joint, Muscle & Nerve-Related Swelling
This reduction in inflammation is especially helpful for:
Less swelling means less pain and faster mobility.
Oxygen fuels the body’s natural repair mechanisms. With HBOT, your cells receive the oxygen they need to rebuild and regenerate at a faster pace.
Enhanced Mitochondrial Function
Oxygen boosts ATP (energy) production, giving damaged cells the power to repair themselves.
Increased Collagen Production
HBOT stimulates fibroblasts—the cells that produce collagen—strengthening tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues.
Faster Repair of Tendons, Ligaments, Muscles, and Skin
This makes HBOT especially beneficial for:
Patients often notice improvements in mobility and reduced discomfort sooner than expected.
HBOT stimulates the growth of new capillaries—tiny blood vessels that improve oxygen and nutrient delivery long after treatment is complete.
Improved Long-Term Circulation
Better circulation means healthier tissues and improved resilience against future injury.
Better Delivery of Nutrients & Oxygen to Healing Tissues
This ongoing benefit supports both acute injuries and chronic conditions affected by poor blood flow.
HBOT strengthens the immune response, making it easier for the body to fight inflammation and infection.
Improved White Blood Cell Activity
Oxygen-rich environments help white blood cells function more effectively in clearing debris and fighting pathogens.
Support for Wound Healing & Infection Control
For patients with chronic wounds, post-surgical sites, or slow-healing tissues, HBOT provides the environment needed for safer, faster recovery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to oxygen chamber therapy. Every patient’s injury, healing timeline, and health history is unique—so your treatment plan is carefully tailored to support your body’s natural ability to repair and recover. Our team ensures that every step of the process is safe, comfortable, and aligned with your goals.
Before beginning oxygen chamber therapy, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether HBOT is right for you.
Full History and Symptom Review
We take time to understand what you’re experiencing—your pain patterns, injury history, and how symptoms impact your daily life.
Determining Candidacy
Not all patients require HBOT. We evaluate your health, needs, and diagnosis to ensure the therapy is both safe and likely to be effective.
Understanding Patient Goals
Healing is personal. Whether you want to return to work faster, get back to a sport, or reduce chronic inflammation, we design your treatment plan with your goals in mind.
Your comfort and confidence matter to us. Our oxygen chamber sessions are designed to be relaxing, supportive, and closely monitored.
Session Length
Most sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your treatment plan.
Pressurization Process
The chamber gently increases to a therapeutic pressure, allowing oxygen to saturate your bloodstream at a higher level than normal breathing.
Monitoring and Patient Comfort
A trained medical professional monitors you throughout the session. Most patients find the experience surprisingly peaceful—many use the time to rest or decompress.
Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their diagnosis and healing goals.
Typical Frequency
Patients often receive HBOT several times per week for optimal results, though this varies depending on the condition being treated.
How Session Plans Are Personalized
Your dosage, frequency, and duration are adjusted based on progress and response. We track improvements in pain, swelling, mobility, and tissue healing.
Safety and Medical Oversight
Your sessions are always performed under medical supervision, following strict safety protocols to ensure a safe and effective therapy experience.
HBOT is powerful on its own—but at Medici, it becomes even more effective when combined with other minimally invasive therapies.
Physical Therapy
Enhanced oxygenation speeds up the recovery process, making PT sessions more productive and comfortable.
Regenerative Medicine
Treatments like PRP or prolotherapy benefit from increased tissue oxygenation and improved healing environments.
Myofascial Release
Releasing tight fascia combined with oxygen-rich blood flow helps tissues recover faster.
Injections & Interventional Treatments
HBOT can improve outcomes for patients receiving anti-inflammatory injections, nerve blocks, or other interventional procedures.
Pain Management
Oxygen therapy reduces inflammation naturally, supporting a drug-sparing approach to pain control.
Synergy With Movement-Based Rehab
When combined with therapeutic exercise and mobility work, HBOT accelerates both short-term relief and long-term restoration of function.
Tissue injuries can interrupt your routine, limit your movement, and make everyday activities feel harder than they should. But with the right support, healing doesn’t have to be slow or frustrating. Oxygen chamber therapy at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine provides your body with the extra oxygen it needs to repair, recover, and rebuild—helping you experience less pain, reduced inflammation, and a smoother return to normal function.
