Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Katy, TX
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, commonly called HBOT, uses increased atmospheric pressure and high-concentration oxygen to increase the amount of oxygen available to the body. At Total Wellness Drip Spa in Katy, Texas, our HBOT sessions take place in a pressurized chamber under the supervision of trained medical staff.
Our system can operate at pressures up to 2.2 ATA, with sessions typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes depending on the selected protocol.
If you are considering HBOT for recovery, wellness, or another specific reason, our team can help you understand the treatment and determine the appropriate next step.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing a high concentration of oxygen while inside a chamber where the pressure is increased above normal atmospheric pressure.
Under increased pressure, the lungs can take in more oxygen than they would under ordinary conditions. This allows more oxygen to be carried through the bloodstream and dissolved into plasma, making additional oxygen available to tissues throughout the body.
HBOT has established applications within medicine and is also being studied and used for a variety of other purposes. The appropriate pressure, session length, number of sessions, and reason for treatment can vary considerably from one person to another.
That is why HBOT should not be viewed as a one-size-fits-all wellness treatment.

What Is HBOT Used For?
Hyperbaric oxygen has recognized medical uses for specific conditions where increasing oxygen delivery can play an important therapeutic role.
Established applications of HBOT include certain difficult-to-heal wounds, radiation tissue injury, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, compromised skin grafts and flaps, certain serious infections, crush injuries, and several other specific medical conditions.
Not every hyperbaric facility treats every recognized medical condition. Some conditions, particularly emergencies or complex wound-care cases, require hospital-based or specialty medical treatment.
People also seek HBOT for purposes such as:
- Physical recovery
- Post-procedure or post-surgical recovery
- Exercise and athletic recovery
- General wellness
- Fatigue
- Inflammation-related concerns
- Cognitive wellness
- Healthy-aging goals
It is important to understand that evidence varies considerably for these applications. Many wellness uses of HBOT are not established FDA-cleared indications for hyperbaric devices.
A medical evaluation is the right way to determine whether HBOT is appropriate for your individual situation rather than assuming that oxygen therapy can treat a particular symptom or condition.
What Happens During an HBOT Session?
One of the most common questions about hyperbaric therapy is simply what it feels like.
Before Your Session
Before beginning HBOT, discuss the reason you are considering treatment and any relevant medical history with the medical staff.
Be sure to mention existing health conditions, medications, recent illnesses, ear or sinus problems, implanted medical devices, and previous problems with pressure changes.
You will also need to follow the facility’s instructions regarding clothing and which personal items can be taken near or into the chamber.
As the Chamber Pressurizes
The pressure increases gradually rather than all at once.
The sensation is often most noticeable in your ears. You may experience popping or fullness similar to what you feel during an airplane flight or while changing elevation.
Swallowing, yawning, or other pressure-equalization techniques can sometimes help. Tell the staff if you experience significant discomfort.
During the Session
Once the desired pressure is reached, you can relax while the session continues.
Total Wellness Drip Spa currently offers 60-minute HBOT sessions and extended-session options. The exact protocol should be based on the reason for treatment and professional guidance.
After Treatment
Pressure is gradually returned to normal before you exit the chamber.
Some people return immediately to their normal activities afterward, although individual experiences can vary.
How Many HBOT Sessions Will I Need?
There is no universal number of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions that is appropriate for everyone.
A person exploring HBOT for a wellness or recovery goal may have a very different treatment schedule from someone receiving medically indicated hyperbaric treatment.
Factors that can influence the recommended schedule include:
- Why HBOT is being considered
- Your health history
- The pressure and duration used
- How you respond to treatment
- Recommendations from your healthcare provider
Instead of choosing a large number of sessions simply because more seems better, discuss your goals and an appropriate treatment plan with the medical team.
For people who expect to use HBOT regularly, you can also review our membership options.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?
HBOT is generally well tolerated when it is appropriately prescribed, delivered, monitored, and performed using proper hyperbaric safety procedures. It is still a medical treatment involving increased pressure and concentrated oxygen, so it is not completely risk-free.
Possible side effects and complications can include:
- Ear pressure or middle-ear injury
- Sinus pressure or discomfort
- Temporary changes in vision
- Claustrophobia or anxiety inside the chamber
- Low blood sugar in some people with diabetes
- Lung injury in uncommon circumstances
- Oxygen toxicity and seizures in rare cases
High concentrations of oxygen also increase fire risk, which is why hyperbaric facilities have strict rules governing equipment, clothing, electronics, personal products, and other items around the chamber.
Always follow the safety instructions provided by the staff.
Who Should Speak With a Medical Professional Before HBOT?
A health evaluation is important before beginning Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Make sure the medical team knows if you have or recently experienced:
- Lung disease or a history of collapsed lung
- Ear problems or recent ear surgery
- Sinus problems
- A cold, congestion, or fever
- Diabetes
- Seizure disorders
- Pregnancy
- Significant heart or lung conditions
- An implanted medical device
- Prescription medications that could affect treatment
An untreated collapsed lung is a particularly important contraindication to HBOT.
Do not use a general wellness webpage to decide whether HBOT is safe for a medical condition. Your individual health history matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What does 2.2 ATA mean?
ATA stands for atmospheres absolute, a measurement used to describe pressure. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1 ATA. A chamber operating at 2.2 ATA is therefore pressurized to more than twice normal atmospheric pressure.
The actual pressure used during a particular session should depend on the treatment protocol and individual circumstances.
Does HBOT hurt?
HBOT itself is non-invasive, but increasing pressure can create fullness or popping in the ears. The sensation is similar to pressure changes during air travel.
Tell the medical staff immediately if pressure becomes painful or difficult to equalize.
Can I use my phone inside the hyperbaric chamber?
Do not take phones, electronics, or other personal items into a chamber unless the staff specifically tells you they are permitted.
Concentrated oxygen requires special fire-safety precautions, and facilities must carefully control which materials and equipment are allowed.
Is one HBOT session enough?
That depends entirely on why you are receiving treatment.
Some people explore a single session, while other treatment protocols involve a series of sessions. A medical professional can help determine whether repeated treatment is appropriate.
Is HBOT the same thing as breathing oxygen normally?
No. HBOT combines increased pressure with elevated oxygen exposure. The increased atmospheric pressure is a fundamental part of hyperbaric treatment.
Can HBOT treat any health condition?
No.
HBOT has established uses for certain medical conditions, while many other proposed uses are still being studied or do not have sufficient evidence to be considered established treatments.
Be cautious of claims suggesting that HBOT cures or treats nearly every medical condition.
