Frequently Asked Questions
What are the possible side effects?
Possible side effects may include ear pain or injury, claustrophobia, and a feeling of pressure due to sinus congestion.
How safe is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
While there is a possibility of side effects with any therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be extremely safe and the actual incidence of side effects is minimal. With short-term administration of 93% oxygen, the side effects seen at 1.5 ATA (atm) are relatively minimal compared to 3.0 ATA (atm) or higher. The pressure used in our oxygen chambers does not exceed 1.5 ATA (atm) and sessions last for one hour, minimizing the potential risk of oxygen toxicity.
How to spend your time during the session?
During the session, you can read a book, meditate, sleep, be on the phone, listen to music or just relax.
What to wear?
There are no clothing restrictions when using the chamber, but we recommend wearing comfortable clothes.
How long is a session?
The initial introductory session is 45 minutes in the chamber. For repeat visits, the session is approximately 60 minutes.
How many sessions should you do?
If you are recovering from an ACL/MCL injury, other traumas or surgeries, we usually recommend 20-30 or 60 (if hard injury/surgeries) sessions of 3-5 hours per week on average.
If you feel tired, tense, have low energy and have problems sleeping, then usually 10 sessions (3-5 hours per week) will significantly improve your well-being. Then, you can see for yourself, based on your own feelings, when you should do the next session to continue feeling good.
People who are simply monitoring and taking care of their health and youth can do it 1-2 times a week.
Top athletes and athletes who train every day can also do it 1-2 times a week. This helps to speed up recovery, prevent injuries, keep a clear head and feel fresh. If an athlete feels very tired and needs to recover quickly, then 3-5 sessions in a row can be done. After that, 1-2 times a week is enough, depending on their feelings.
How will I feel after the session?
Most people feel more relaxed and have more energy after the session. In addition, an improvement in general well-being and mood has been described. An improvement in sleep quality has also been noted.
