What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing oxygen while enclosed in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber.

HBOT has been well-researched and widely used around the world for decades to treat over one hundred chronic and acute health conditions, many of which – like Lyme and Long COVID – are on the rise in Vermont. 

Body tissues need oxygen to function and the increased oxygen and pressure inside the chamber helps the body heal and fight infection.

What Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Do?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has a wide range of therapeutic effects in the body including:

  • Promoting tissue healing
  • Normalizing immune function
  • Stimulating the growth of new tissue, stem cells, nerves and blood vessels.
  • HBOT also has potent antimicrobial, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties

What Conditions Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treat?

HBOT can also help treat a range of issues including cancer, eye disorders, sudden hearing loss, lung conditions, autism, and epilepsy.

Who We Are

Hyperbaric Vermont’s mission is to raise awareness of the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and increase accessibility to this life-changing treatment.

We do this by educating the public and service providers as to the benefits and clinical applications of HBOT, training providers who wish to offer it to their clients and patients, and fundraising in order to enable people with extreme need to receive treatment through our affiliated treatment centers

As a 501(c)3 non-profit, people are at the center of what we do. We’re proud of the impact we’re having on our community, and are happy to share our most recent impact reports.
