The Science Behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has gained widespread attention for its ability to enhance healing, optimize cellular function, and support overall wellness. At Aligned SRQ, we provide advanced Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Sarasota using the industry-leading OxyHealth Vitaeris 320 softshell chamber - one of the most trusted and comfortable mild hyperbaric chambers available today.

 

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing near-pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. While you rest, the chamber increases atmospheric pressure to levels higher than normal, allowing your lungs - and ultimately your body - to absorb significantly more oxygen than you can under everyday conditions. This process saturates your bloodstream, tissues, and cells with oxygen, giving your body the fuel it needs to repair, regenerate, and restore balance.

 

How Increased Pressure Enhances Oxygen Delivery

Under standard conditions, oxygen is carried primarily by red blood cells. However, inside a hyperbaric environment, oxygen dissolves directly into your plasma, lymphatic fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid. This boosts oxygen delivery to tissues that may be:

•          Injured

•          Inflamed

•          Swollen

•          Compromised by poor circulation

This increased oxygenation is what makes HBOT uniquely effective. Even areas that normally struggle to receive adequate oxygen - such as damaged tissue, post-surgical sites, or areas affected by chronic inflammation - benefit from this enhanced delivery.

 

Cellular Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research shows that HBOT stimulates multiple biological processes that support healing and wellness:

•          Reduced Inflammation: Increased oxygen levels help calm overactive inflammatory responses, reducing swelling and discomfort.

•          Improved Mitochondrial Function: Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of your cells. HBOT helps them work more efficiently, boosting energy production at the cellular level.

•          Faster Tissue Repair: HBOT increases fibroblast activity, collagen production, and blood vessel growth - key components of tissue regeneration.

•          Enhanced Immune Function: Oxygen-rich environments make it easier for your body to fight off bacteria, viruses, and toxins.

•          Improved Circulation: Over time, HBOT supports the development of new blood vessels, improving overall blood flow.

These mechanisms work together to support recovery, optimize performance, and help your body operate at its highest potential.
