Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
At Auburn Total Health, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is offered as a gentle, non-invasive way to support healing, recovery, and overall wellness. By increasing the amount of oxygen your body can absorb, HBOT helps fuel the body’s natural repair processes from the inside out.
How It Works
During a session, you’ll relax inside a comfortable, mild hyperbaric chamber while breathing oxygen at slightly increased atmospheric pressure. This allows oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into your bloodstream and reach areas that may be difficult to oxygenate under normal conditions — including tissues affected by inflammation, injury, or stress.
More oxygen = more cellular support.
Benefits may include:
Reduced inflammation
Improved tissue repair and circulation
Faster recovery from injury or physical strain
Increased energy and mental clarity
Immune and cellular health support
What to expect:
A relaxing 60-minute session
Breathe normally while the chamber gently pressurizes
Time to rest, read, or meditate
Full support from our care team throughout your visit
At Auburn Total Health, HBOT is often combined with PEMF, sauna therapy, and mobility work as part of a personalized wellness plan. Our team will help determine if HBOT is right for you and how to best support your health goals.
What to Expect During Your Session
After filling out paper work you will be taken to your chamber. You will be instructed to take off your shoes and anything that may be uncomfortable. ie jacket or hat. You will then step into the chamber and sit lay down. We will hand you a nasal cannula that will deliver oxygen into your nose. You will put the nasal cannula on by putting the prongs into your nostril and the loop around each ear. You will be instructed to clear your ears when the pressure builds inside the chamber, usually after ten minutes. We will then zip the zippers that seal the chamber and begin pressurizing the chamber. The session is an hour and twenty minutes allowing ten minutes to pressurize the chamber and ten minutes to decompress the chamber. During the session you can nap, watch a movie, do work on your phone etc. At the end of your session you will be instructed that we are decompressing the chamber and you may need to clear your ears again at that time. When the chamber has depressurized we will unzip the zippers and assist you in stepping out of the chamber.
