What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a cutting-edge treatment that promotes healing, recovery, and additional benefits for your body by delivering pure oxygen while you’re in a pressurized chamber. HBOT therapy increases cellular repair and stimulates tissue regeneration. HBOT also reduces inflammation and is used to treat chronic wounds and infections, for skin rejuvenation, and sometimes to improve cognitive function. HBOT offers benefits that address the root causes of various conditions.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) works by supplying pure oxygen to blood and tissues in the body while you are in a pressurized chamber. It heals your body at the cellular level and reduces inflammation. HBOT also treats infections by increasing white blood cell activity and changes the environment in your body so it fights bacteria. HBOT can decrease the amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines and balance immune responses, which is beneficial for chronic inflammatory conditions. Treatment may lengthen telomeres, which support tissue repair, regeneration, and anti-aging. HBOT is also thought to increase the production of collagen, improving skin elasticity and promoting healing for some skin conditions. There is also evidence reported by the BMJ journal that HBOT may improve cognitive functions, including mental clarity and focus. Improvements were noticeable in attention, information processing speed, and executive functions.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: What To Expect
Understanding what to expect before, during, and after a hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment session can ease any concerns you might be feeling about HBOT and ensure you have a safe and comfortable experience.
What Happens Before
Before starting HBOT, one of our team members at Reveal Vitality will review your medical history and determine if Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is safe and appropriate for your condition. You may be advised to stop certain medications, caffeine, or alcohol before your session. You will change into a gown because wearing jewelry or personal clothing is often restricted due to safety concerns in the pressurized chamber.
What Happens During
During the HBOT session, you’ll enter the hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, which may be a single-person unit (monoplace chamber) or a multi-person chamber. Next, the chamber is pressurized to a level higher than normal atmospheric pressure, usually 1.5 to 3 times normal. You will breathe 100% pure oxygen while relaxing, reading, or napping. During the 60 to 90 minutes that it lasts, you could experience mild pressure in your ears, which is comparable to what happens during airplane takeoff and can be alleviated by swallowing or yawning.
What Happens After
When your HBOT session is complete, the chamber is slowly depressurized, and your body will adjust to the pressure outside the chamber. Then you’re allowed to leave and resume your normal activities. Some people might experience mild side effects like fatigue or ear discomfort but these usually don’t last long. If your doctor requests that you have multiple treatment sessions, we will schedule additional sessions based on your condition. Because your sessions are monitored, it ensures your HBOT therapy is effective and well tolerated.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefits
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a regenerative therapy that is non-invasive and reduces inflammation while helping your body fight infection. It increases oxygen levels in the blood and tissues and heals burns, chronic wounds, and arthritis. It supports neurological recovery for traumatic brain injuries and strokes. HBOT increases the supply of oxygen and improves cellular function.

What Our Clients Are Saying
“Dr. Davis is great!
He is interested in solving the root cause of my issues, not just prescribing drugs and sending me on my way.
He always spends over an hour with me going over every aspect of my health.
Such a contrast to my last cardiologist that never spent more than 15 minutes with me, prescribing drugs that negatively affected me, never looking for the cause of my problems, and only doing what the insurance company would pay for.”
Norma Rosenberg
“I recently took my family member to see Dr. Davis due to the research that I have doing on heart disease on the internet. Dr. Davis went beyond all my expectations! It is very difficult to find a integrative functional medicine cardiologist who also knows the conventional approach as Dr. Davis. He was very compassionate and did not make you feel like he was in a hurry. He listened very intently to everything we had to say. He definitely is not your conventional cardiologist that has a revolving door of prescribing statins to their patients. The best thing about Dr. Davis was his holistic approach to heart issues. He considers in all the different contingencies involved in heart disease. I highly recommend him to anyone who really wants to get to the root cause of their heart disease. His staff was also amazing!”

“Dr. Cris Davis was previously a top rated cardiovascular surgeon. He now brings that skill base into his current wellness practice which is especially important to me as a patient of his with cardiac disease. His practice is phenomenal and my health has improved significantly! I’ve experienced a tremendous decrease in my weight as well. He’s a genius at this and all I can say is please don’t hesitate to make an investment in yourself towards longevity!”
Frank Griffith Jr.
“I’m an ex pharmacist based in Australia and came across Dr Chris Davis in a magazine publication.I was looking for a cardiologist who could help my dad in London with a more holistic approach to minimise the number of medications but maximise his health through exercise, healthy lifestyle and any preventive actions he could take. My dad also had a lot heavy legs and hip pain. He had been to multiple different hospital appointments in London with no real positive outcomes. He was low on energy and at 77 starting to think he is getting old! Dr Chris made recommendations to my dads general practitioner and offered specific healthcare advice. 3 months later my dad has lots of energy, is walking 10 times the
distance he could walk before and is virtually pain free. Seeing my dad happy and like a little kid again is priceless. Thank you so much.”
Hament Chavda
“In February I decided to seek out a functional doctor for numerous issues I have had, from thyroid issues, to sleep issues, anxiety, HRT, to just name a few. From day one the office staff was super helpful in gathering all of my medical records. My first visit with Dr. Davis lasted close to two hours. He listened, discussed, reviewed and ordered labs to gather details that my previous doctors had not looked at. Upon completion of my labs, we had another two hour visit to complete an action plan/next steps. The changes he made and the supplements he prescribed have already started working and I am feeling so much better. Dr. Davis is caring, thorough, and attentive to my health care needs. The office staff is also outstanding.”
Kelly Dancer
“I believe it’s essential for every patient to have a doctor like Dr. Davis when it comes to their wellness journey- whichever path that may be! He truly is a whole different breed in the best way possible. What he has created and is continuing to expand in his clinic is the future of medicine. His knowledge is unmatchable. He’s driven and motivated to find the root cause, not just suppress your symptoms which is key! I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff! They are always personable and very on top of things. If you’re looking for the gold standard of a doctor, staff, testing, diagnosing, an individualized treatment plan, etc. Look no further, you just found it! I feel blessed to have found a doctor that I truly trust and will continue to be a loyal client of his for many years to come!”
