Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed, mistreated, or misunderstood—especially in its chronic form. At Patients Medical in NYC, we go beyond antibiotics. We treat Lyme as a multisystem, inflammatory, and infectious disease, requiring a functional medicine strategy that includes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to address bacterial persistence, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
We focus on healing the whole person—not just eradicating bacteria.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. If untreated or under-treated, it can lead to chronic Lyme, a condition marked by fatigue, joint pain, cognitive dysfunction, and neurological symptoms that can persist for months or years—even after antibiotics.
Lyme is also known to form biofilms and enter “stealth” modes, making it harder to detect and treat through conventional protocols alone.
We dig deeper to find why symptoms linger or return. These are common root contributors:
Lyme is a stealth pathogen. That’s why we go beyond standard testing with:
HBOT delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, penetrating deep into tissues and disrupting the low-oxygen environments where Lyme bacteria thrive. Benefits include:
Studies show HBOT is especially effective for patients with neuroborreliosis or PTLDS.
We develop anti-inflammatory, immune-balancing meal plans to support healing. Protocols may include:
Intravenous nutrients bypass gut absorption and support cell repair:
Customized based on your labs and symptom profile. May include:
Chronic Lyme impacts the nervous system. We offer:

Yes. It can weaken or kill Borrelia bacteria, enhance mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and relieve many persistent symptoms.
Most patients benefit from 15–30 HBOT sessions, with improvements often seen after the first 5–10.
No. We can integrate HBOT alongside conventional or herbal antimicrobial regimens safely.
Yes. HBOT improves cerebral oxygenation, often leading to noticeable cognitive improvement.
We test and treat co-infections as part of your custom integrative protocol.
No. It’s non-invasive, relaxing, and pain-free. You may feel mild ear pressure like in an airplane.
Without full detox and immune restoration, symptoms can recur. Our goal is to build lasting resilience and prevent relapse.
HBOT is FDA-cleared for several conditions and used off-label for Lyme in many integrative clinics with excellent results.
We are an out-of-network provider. We supply superbills to help with possible reimbursement. Some labs may be partially covered.
