Advanced Oxygen Therapy for Healing, Recovery, and Cellular Health

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medically supervised treatment that increases oxygen delivery to tissues by exposing the body to 100% oxygen at elevated atmospheric pressure.

At Inman Clinic, HBOT is delivered at 2.0 ATA, a pressure level supported in medical literature for producing deeper and more reliable therapeutic effects compared to lower-pressure chambers.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at 2.0 ATA

When delivered at therapeutic pressure levels and properly supervised, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 2.0 ATA may offer the following physiological benefits:

Cellular & Metabolic Support

• Increased oxygen availability at the cellular level
  
• Improved mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production
  
• Support for cellular repair and regeneration processes
  

Inflammation & Recovery

• Modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways
  
• Support for tissue recovery following injury or surgery
  
• Reduction of hypoxia-related inflammation in compromised tissues
  

Vascular & Tissue Health

• Stimulation of angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
  
• Improved oxygen diffusion into hypoxic or poorly perfused tissues
  
• Support for wound healing and tissue remodeling
  

Neurological & Cognitive Support

• Enhanced oxygen delivery to neural tissue
  
• Support for neurological recovery following injury
  
• Potential benefits for brain-related fatigue and cognitive stress
  

Immune & Systemic Support

• Support for immune system regulation
  
• Enhanced tissue resilience under physiological stress
  
• Improved recovery capacity in physically demanding conditions
  

These benefits are pressure-dependent and more consistently observed at therapeutic levels near 2.0 ATA compared to lower-pressure chambers.

Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 2.0 ATA Provide Greater Therapeutic Benefit Than Lower-Pressure Chambers?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivered at 2.0 ATA significantly increases tissue oxygen availability compared to lower-pressure chambers, enabling deeper physiological effects related to healing, inflammation reduction, angiogenesis, and cellular metabolism.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

HBOT works by increasing the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in plasma, allowing oxygen to reach tissues with compromised blood flow or increased metabolic demand.

Under hyperbaric conditions, oxygen delivery is no longer dependent solely on red blood cells. Instead, oxygen dissolves directly into plasma, lymphatic fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid, enhancing diffusion into hypoxic or inflamed tissues.

Why Chamber Pressure Matters

Not all hyperbaric chambers deliver the same therapeutic effect.

Lower-pressure chambers (commonly below 1.5 ATA) may provide mild wellness or relaxation benefits. However, many clinically documented physiological effects of HBOT occur at pressures near or at 2.0 ATA, where oxygen delivery surpasses diffusion limits seen at atmospheric or mildly elevated pressures.

At 2.0 ATA, therapy may support:

• Significant increases in plasma oxygen concentration
  
• Oxygen diffusion into hypoxic or injured tissues
  
• Improved mitochondrial efficiency and cellular metabolism
  
• Modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways
  
• Stimulation of angiogenesis and wound healing mechanisms
  

These effects are pressure-dependent and may not occur—or may occur less consistently—at lower ATA levels.

Clinical Applications Supported in Medical Literature

When used as part of a structured medical protocol, HBOT at 2.0 ATA may support recovery and healing in conditions such as:

• Chronic non-healing wounds
  
• Post-surgical recovery and tissue repair
  
• Traumatic brain injury and neurological recovery
  
• Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions (as adjunctive therapy)
  
• Athletic recovery and musculoskeletal repair
  
• Mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue-related syndromes
  

HBOT is often used as a complementary therapy, integrated with other regenerative, metabolic, or recovery-focused interventions.

Safety Considerations for HBOT at 2.0 ATA

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at therapeutic pressures must be:

• Medically supervised
  
• Protocol-driven
  
• Preceded by proper screening for contraindications
  

HBOT may not be appropriate for individuals with:

• Untreated pneumothorax
  
• Certain uncontrolled pulmonary conditions
  
• Specific contraindications identified during medical evaluation
  

When properly screened and supervised, HBOT has a strong safety record in clinical practice.

Is Higher Pressure Always Better?

No.

Pressures above established therapeutic ranges may increase risk without providing additional benefit. 2.0 ATA represents a balance between efficacy and safety for many clinical indications supported by current medical evidence.

How Many HBOT Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated and individual patient response.

• Acute or recovery-focused protocols may require fewer sessions
  
• Chronic or complex conditions often benefit from structured, multi-session treatment plans
  

Treatment frequency and duration are determined on an individual basis following medical evaluation.

Can HBOT Be Combined With Other Therapies?

Yes.

HBOT is frequently combined with regenerative, metabolic, hormonal, and recovery-oriented therapies. Increased tissue oxygenation may enhance the effectiveness of complementary interventions when applied within an integrated medical framework.
