Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – Natural Healing with Integrative Medicine

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – Natural Healing with Integrative Medicine

Introduction: Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Deserves a Fresh Perspective

Healing takes more than pills and procedures—it takes oxygen, energy, and a functioning cellular system. At Patients Medical in New York City, we use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of our integrative healing model. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, battling chronic fatigue, managing inflammation, or seeking to optimize your body’s natural repair systems, HBOT can be a game-changer.

By delivering 100% pure oxygen under increased pressure, HBOT supports the body’s deepest healing systems—from the mitochondria to the immune response.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves relaxing in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. This significantly increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, cells, and organs.

It has been FDA-approved for specific conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning and chronic wounds, but functional and integrative medicine now recognizes HBOT as a potent therapy for dozens of chronic and inflammatory issues.

What Can HBOT Help With?

At Patients Medical, we use HBOT as part of personalized treatment protocols for:

Signs You May Benefit from HBOT

Even without a diagnosed condition, many people benefit from periodic oxygen therapy to enhance well-being. Signs that HBOT could help include:

  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Brain fog or memory lapses
  • Slow wound healing
  • Frequent infections
  • Neuropathy or tingling
  • Poor circulation
  • Chronic inflammation or joint pain
  • Migraine or persistent headaches
Signs You May Benefit from HBOT

Root Causes: Why Might Your Body Be Oxygen-Deprived?

HBOT addresses one of the most fundamental causes of chronic illness: cellular oxygen deficiency. Some contributing factors include:

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction (reduced ATP production)
  • Poor blood flow or microvascular damage
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Toxicity (mold, metals, environmental pollutants)
  • Hypoxia from long COVID or respiratory illness
  • Aging-related cellular degeneration
  • Oxidative stress
  • Poor wound oxygenation in diabetes and vascular disease

Diagnostic Testing We May Recommend

Before starting HBOT, we identify systemic imbalances that oxygen therapy can help improve:

Mitochondrial function and oxidative stress markers

Inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha)

Heavy metal burden

Immune panels and cytokine testing

Hormonal and adrenal function

Nutrient and antioxidant levels

Circulatory and vascular health screening

Integrative Use of HBOT at Patients Medical

Cellular Healing & Mitochondrial Rejuvenation

Brain Health & Neuroinflammation

Brain Health & Neuroinflammation

HBOT improves cerebral oxygenation, reduces inflammation in the brain, and may help in cases of:

  • Brain fog
  • TBI
  • PTSD
  • Stroke recovery
  • Cognitive decline

Wound and Tissue Repair

HBOT boosts fibroblast activity and collagen production—vital for healing diabetic ulcers, radiation damage, and post-op recovery.

Wound and Tissue Repair
mmune and Detox Support

Immune and Detox Support

More oxygen = stronger white blood cell activity and enhanced ability to clear infections, viruses, and toxins.

Paired Therapies

We often combine HBOT with:

  • IV nutrient therapy (Vitamin C, glutathione)
  • Ozone therapy
  • Chelation
  • Anti-inflammatory diets and detox protocols

Real Case Study: Healing Beyond Oxygen

James, age 61, came to Patients Medical with persistent fatigue, brain fog, and pain from post-COVID syndrome. Despite normal labs, he couldn’t return to work. We ran an advanced panel and found mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation.

His 8-week personalized plan included:

  • Weekly HBOT sessions
  • IV glutathione and Vitamin C
  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Mitochondrial support supplements

By week 6, James reported clear mental focus, better energy, and deeper sleep. By week 8, he returned to full-time work—energized, not exhausted.
