Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, painless mode of therapy. A patient receiving HBOT breathes 100% oxygen, at a pressure greater than sea level, while in an enclosed pressure vessel. This results in a dramatic elevation of oxygen in the blood, tissue and body fluids. HBOT can result in blood oxygen levels 15 times greater than blood oxygen levels in normobaric conditions.
