Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in San Jose CA

At Resolve Chiropractic, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in San Jose CA for patients looking for an extra boost in recovery, healing, and overall wellness. HBOT works by combining increased atmospheric pressure with supplemental oxygen. This allows more oxygen to become available to the body, where it can be used for cellular energy, tissue repair, and recovery.

We use the OxyHealth Vitaeris 320, a roomy 32-inch hyperbaric chamber that pressurizes to 1.3 ATA (4 PSI). During your session, you'll also receive supplemental oxygen from an oxygen concentrator capable of producing up to approximately 95% oxygen. Once you're settled in, there isn't much you need to do. Most people use the time to relax, read, watch something, listen to music, get some work done, or take a nap.

We see HBOT as another tool we can use to help your body recover. Some patients come in specifically for hyperbaric sessions, while others add it to their chiropractic, laser, or rehab care. Whether you're recovering from an injury, training hard, feeling beat up from everyday life, or just interested in giving your body a better environment to recover, we'll help you figure out whether HBOT makes sense for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves relaxing inside a pressurized chamber while receiving supplemental oxygen. The combination of pressure and oxygen increases the amount of oxygen available to your body and tissues.

What chamber do you use?

We use the OxyHealth Vitaeris 320. It's a 32-inch chamber that operates at 1.3 ATA (4 PSI). We chose the Vitaeris 320 in part because its larger size gives patients more room to get comfortable during a 90-minute session.

Am I breathing 95% oxygen inside the chamber?

We use an oxygen concentrator capable of producing up to approximately 95% oxygen, which provides supplemental oxygen while you're inside the chamber. The chamber itself is pressurized with ambient air, so the entire chamber is not filled with 95% oxygen.

What does HBOT feel like?

For most of the session, you're simply lying down and relaxing. The main thing you'll notice is pressure in your ears as the chamber pressurizes and depressurizes. It feels a lot like being on an airplane, and we'll show you how to equalize your ears before you get started.

How long is a session?

Our standard HBOT session is a 90-minute dive for $150. You'll want to allow a little additional time for getting situated and for pressurization and depressurization.

What can I do during the 90 minutes?

Relax! Many patients watch a show, read, listen to something, work, or sleep. We'll go over what you can safely bring into the chamber before your first session.

Why do people use HBOT?

People use hyperbaric oxygen therapy for many different reasons. In our office, we primarily use it as a recovery and wellness tool—for people recovering from injuries, athletes and active patients, or anyone looking for additional support alongside their regular care.

Can I do HBOT with chiropractic or laser therapy?

Absolutely. Many of our patients combine therapies. Depending on what you're working on, we may recommend HBOT alongside Gonstead chiropractic care, laser therapy, soft-tissue work, or rehabilitation.

How often should I do HBOT?

It depends on why you're doing it. Some people use HBOT periodically as part of their wellness or recovery routine, while others may benefit from a more consistent schedule for a period of time. We can help you decide what makes sense based on your goals.

Is HBOT for everyone?

No. There are certain medical conditions and situations where hyperbaric therapy may not be appropriate. We'll review the important safety information with you before your first session, and you should let us know about any medical conditions, medications, or problems with your ears or sinuses.
