What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, combines increased atmospheric pressure with oxygen exposure inside a specialized chamber.
Under ordinary conditions at sea level, the body experiences approximately 1 atmosphere of pressure. During HBOT, chamber pressure is increased above that normal level.
This pressurized environment affects the amount of oxygen that can dissolve into the blood plasma and become available to tissues.
That pressure component is important. HBOT is not simply the same as breathing supplemental oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure.
Understanding Our Up-to-2.2-ATA Hyperbaric System
Hyperbaric pressure is measured in ATA, meaning atmospheres absolute.
Approximately 1 ATA represents ordinary atmospheric pressure at sea level. A chamber operating at 2.2 ATA therefore creates pressure greater than twice normal sea-level atmospheric pressure.
The hyperbaric system at Total Wellness Drip Spa can operate at pressures up to 2.2 ATA.
That does not mean every person automatically needs treatment at the chamber’s maximum pressure.
When discussing an HBOT session, it is useful to understand:
Intended treatment pressure
Treatment duration
Oxygen delivery
Chamber environment
Health screening
Supervision
Safety requirements
Reason HBOT is being considered
Treatment should be approached as an individualized decision rather than assuming that the highest available pressure is automatically preferable.
Why Do People Receive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
HBOT has established applications within medicine for specific conditions.
Depending on the clinical circumstances, medical hyperbaric treatment may be used for certain difficult-to-heal wounds, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, radiation-related tissue injury, compromised grafts and flaps, refractory bone infections, certain serious soft-tissue infections, crush injuries, and other recognized indications.
People also investigate HBOT in wellness and recovery settings for purposes involving:
Physical recovery
Exercise and athletic recovery
Post-procedure wellness
General wellness
Fatigue-related concerns
Healthy-aging interests
Cognitive wellness
Other elective recovery goals
These uses do not all have the same level of clinical evidence.
If you are considering HBOT for a diagnosed disease, injury, wound, neurological concern, or other medical condition, discuss your situation with an appropriate healthcare professional rather than assuming hyperbaric treatment is established for that condition.
Your First HBOT Visit at Our Katy Location
Knowing what happens before, during, and after treatment can make your first appointment easier to understand.
Before Your Session
Your visit begins with preparation for the hyperbaric environment.
Provide relevant information about your medical history and medications. Be sure to mention ear or sinus problems, significant lung conditions, diabetes, seizure disorders, recent illness or congestion, implanted devices, recent procedures, and previous problems adjusting to pressure.
Follow all instructions provided by the treatment team.
Preparing to Enter the Chamber
Hyperbaric environments require specific safety precautions because elevated oxygen concentrations can increase fire risk.
You may receive instructions concerning clothing, cosmetics, skincare products, electronics, and other personal belongings.
Do not bring an item into the chamber simply because it appears harmless. Follow the facility’s specific instructions about what is permitted.
Pressurization
Once treatment begins, chamber pressure gradually increases.
You may notice fullness or popping in your ears as the pressure changes. This sensation is commonly compared with what happens during airplane travel.
Swallowing or yawning may help equalize your ears.
Tell staff if you experience significant pain or cannot comfortably adjust to the pressure.
Treatment Period
Once the intended pressure has been reached, you remain inside the chamber for the scheduled treatment period.
Total Wellness currently offers a 60-minute standard HBOT session, with additional treatment time available.
Depressurization
At the end of treatment, chamber pressure gradually returns toward normal atmospheric conditions before you exit.
Individual experiences vary, so follow any instructions provided by the supervising staff.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can be well tolerated when appropriately administered and monitored, but no treatment involving elevated atmospheric pressure and concentrated oxygen should be considered completely risk-free.
Possible side effects or complications can include:
Ear pressure and middle-ear injury
Sinus pressure or discomfort
Claustrophobia
Temporary vision changes
Blood-sugar changes in some people with diabetes
Lung-related complications
Oxygen toxicity
Seizures in rare circumstances
The elevated-oxygen environment also makes fire prevention an important part of hyperbaric safety.
This is why facilities control which materials, electronics, clothing, personal products, and other items can be taken into or near the chamber.
Medical Information to Share Before HBOT
Your health history matters when considering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Before treatment, tell the medical team about:
A current or previous collapsed lung
Significant lung or respiratory disease
Ear problems
Recent ear surgery
Sinus conditions
Cold, fever, or congestion
Diabetes
Seizure disorders
Pregnancy
Significant heart or lung conditions
Implanted medical devices
Prescription medications relevant to treatment
An untreated pneumothorax, commonly called a collapsed lung, is an important contraindication to hyperbaric treatment.
Information on a website cannot determine whether HBOT is appropriate for your individual medical circumstances. Discuss specific medical concerns with an appropriate healthcare professional.
How Long Is an HBOT Appointment?
Total Wellness Drip Spa currently offers a 60-minute standard hyperbaric treatment, with an additional 30-minute option available.
Your complete visit may take longer than the treatment period itself because preparation, screening, chamber pressurization, depressurization, and other appointment steps may require additional time.
If you have a limited schedule, ask our team how much total time you should plan for your visit.
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.
