Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Pressurized oxygen therapy designed to support your body's own healing, energy, and recovery — one more way we help you feel like yourself again.

At Horak Chiropractic & Acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is part of the same whole-person approach that guides our chiropractic and acupuncture care. It's a simple, hour-long session with benefits that build the more consistently you come in.

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?

Oxygen is normally carried through your body concentrated in your red blood cells. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, pure, pressurized oxygen is delivered in a way that allows it to dissolve directly into other bodily fluids, including plasma. That oxygen-rich plasma can then reach areas of the body that are starved for oxygen more effectively than through red blood cells alone — supporting the tissue repair and recovery processes already underway in your body.

It's a passive, comfortable process. You simply relax in the chamber while pressurized oxygen does the work.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Patients turn to HBOT for a range of reasons, and the benefits tend to compound with consistent sessions:

• Optimize sleep
  
• Boost energy
  
• Regain your cognitive edge
  
• Boost healing
  
• Increase immune health
  
• Decrease inflammation
  

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1: Getting Settled

You can go into the chamber fully clothed. We'll simply ask you to remove your shoes and any jewelry or sharp objects before your session begins.

Step 2: During Treatment

Treatments run one hour. While you're inside, you may feel your ears pop as pressure adjusts — this is normal, and we'll walk you through it. From there, most patients settle into a feeling of relaxation for the remainder of the session.

Step 3: After Your Session

You may continue to feel relaxed afterward, or notice a sense of alertness and being well-rested. Consistency matters with HBOT — the more you visit, the more your body may respond.

How Often Should I Come In?

The number and frequency of treatments varies based on the condition being addressed. Some patients use HBOT to support a specific recovery goal, while others build it into an ongoing wellness routine alongside chiropractic and acupuncture care. We'll help you figure out a schedule that fits what you're working toward.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Fits Into Your Broader Care

HBOT doesn't stand alone here. It's one more tool in a practice that also offers chiropractic adjustments, needleless acupuncture, pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic, fertility support, and spinal wellness care — all under one roof in south Lincoln. Many patients combine HBOT with their existing chiropractic or acupuncture plan to support recovery and overall wellness from more than one direction.
