At Peak Brain and Body, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not positioned as a standalone treatment, it’s used as a supportive therapy to enhance healing, recovery, and nervous system function when combined with the right treatments.
We utilize mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy at up to 1.3 ATA, which increases oxygen delivery to tissues in a safe, well-tolerated way. While this is considered “mild” hyperbaric therapy, clinically we still see meaningful benefits, and there is growing research supporting the value of 1.3 ATA when applied appropriately.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized environment. At 1.3 ATA, the pressure is higher than normal atmospheric pressure, but lower than hospital-based hard chambers.
This increase in pressure helps:
Rather than forcing change, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
There’s a common misconception that higher pressure or more sessions automatically leads to better results.
In reality:
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 1.3 ATA is:
Many people hesitate to explore hyperbaric oxygen therapy because they’ve been told they’ll need 20–40 sessions, often because hyperbaric is being used as a standalone treatment.
When hyperbaric oxygen therapy is treated as the only solution:
At Peak Brain and Body, hyperbaric therapy is rarely used in isolation.
For most individuals, hyperbaric therapy is combined with other treatments, and as a result:
We only recommend higher session counts if someone chooses to use hyperbaric therapy on its own, rather than as part of an integrated plan.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is especially helpful for individuals dealing with:
This includes people who:
While hyperbaric therapy is often associated with wound healing or athletic recovery, it also has important neurological and systemic applications.
Mild hyperbaric therapy may help support:
This makes it relevant for individuals with:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps create a better internal environment for healing but it doesn’t correct every system on its own.
At Peak Brain and Body, HBOT is often combined with:
When the right therapies are blended together:
This synergistic approach is why many people who were disappointed with hyperbaric therapy elsewhere experience better outcomes here.
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 1.3 ATA is:
Sessions are designed to support recovery not overwhelm the system.
Most patients complete 10-12 sessions because hyperbaric therapy is combined with other treatments. Higher session counts are usually only needed when hyperbaric is used as a standalone therapy.
This typically happens when hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used on its own. When combined with neurological, vestibular, vision, or metabolic therapies, fewer sessions are often needed.
Yes.
Clinical experience and research show that 1.3 ATA can still provide meaningful benefits especially when used consistently and as part of an integrated care plan.
Rarely.
Our focus is on using hyperbaric therapy to support and enhance other treatments, which improves efficiency and long-term results.
Yes.
When delivered at 1.3 ATA with appropriate screening and clinical oversight, it is considered safe and well tolerated.
If you’ve been hesitant about hyperbaric therapy because of time or session commitments, it’s important to understand how it’s being used.
Used alone, it often requires more sessions.
Used strategically as part of an integrated plan, it can significantly improve outcomes with far less treatment burden.
You may also want to read about Functional Neurology, Dysautonomia & POTS, Concussion, Dizziness, Lab Testing, Balance Testing and Oculomotor Testing, since these pages overlap with many of the things individuals who see out HBOT may have.
