The Physics of Oxygen Solubility
HBOT relies on Henry’s Law: the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. By pressurizing the patient to 2.0 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) while breathing 100% Oxygen, we bypass the hemoglobin transport limit.
This forces oxygen directly into the blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and lymph, increasing tissue oxygen levels by 10-15x. This hyperoxic state is critical for reaching hypoxic neural tissue ("idling neurons") that has limited blood flow due to chronic stress or inflammation.
Neuro-Regeneration Mechanism
The intermittent exposure to hyperoxia triggers a specific genetic response:
- Angiogenesis: Release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), spurring the growth of new capillaries in the brain.
- Stem Cell Mobilization: A single course of HBOT has been shown to increase circulating CD34+ stem cells by 800%, providing the raw materials for tissue repair.
- Mitochondrial Biogenesis: Restoring ATP production in fatigued neurons.
The Chamber Experience
Patients rest in our mono-place Sechrist 3600 glass chambers. The experience is painless, similar to ascending in an airplane. During the 90-minute dive, patients can watch entertainment or meditate.
