How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps Chronic PainCopy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-Surgery Recovery: Is It Worth It?

May 9, 2025 Posted by Dr. Christopher Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW Acupuncture, Ankle & Foot, CrossFit, Elbow & Hand, Fitness & Performance Training, Health & Wellness, Hip, Back & Core, Injury Prevention, Knee, Massage Therapy, Neck, Physical Therapy, Recovery Techniques, Running, Shoulder, Warm Up & Mobility, Youth Athletes

Are you suffering from chronic pain and looking for a natural solution to feel better? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) might be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for. Chronic pain, defined as pain lasting longer than 3-6 months, can stem from various causes, such as injuries, accidents, or persistent inflammation. Let’s explore how HBOT can help manage chronic pain and give you the confidence to reclaim your life.


Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain often begins with a local trauma—perhaps you injured your shoulder in a fall or experienced back pain after an accident. While inflammation typically resolves within three months, sometimes pain lingers far beyond the expected healing timeline.

This lingering pain stems from two main issues:

  1. Local Challenges: Persistent inflammation or tissue damage that didn’t fully heal.
  2. Central Challenges: The brain continues to interpret pain signals even when the affected area appears healed.

This combination can make chronic pain complex and frustrating to treat.


What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure pushes oxygen into your lungs, bloodstream, and cells more effectively, delivering much-needed nutrients to areas that require healing.

This extra oxygen acts as fuel for your body’s cells, boosting their ability to repair and function optimally. Think of it as giving your body the resources it needs to heal faster and more efficiently—just like how your body seemed to heal effortlessly when you were younger.


How HBOT Benefits Chronic Pain

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers several key benefits for individuals dealing with chronic pain:

  1. Reduces Inflammation: Oxygen reaches inflamed areas, helping calm the tissues and reduce swelling.
  2. Supports Brain Health: HBOT repairs neurons in the brain, addressing the central challenge of chronic pain by reducing pain perception.
  3. Speeds Up Cellular Repair: Oxygen promotes faster healing and improved function in damaged tissues.
  4. Enhances Confidence in Movement: By alleviating pain and inflammation, HBOT allows you to regain trust in your body and take steps toward building strength.

A Stepping Stone Toward Recovery

While HBOT may not eliminate chronic pain entirely, it provides a crucial step in the recovery process. It helps reduce local pain and inflammation, giving you the opportunity to engage in activities you might have been avoiding due to fear of re-injury. With less pain and more confidence, you can focus on building strength and improving your overall quality of life.


Why Choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your recovery journey, HBOT can give you the boost you need to move forward. It’s a non-invasive, natural way to address the root causes of chronic pain and regain control over your health.
