Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, often called HBOT, is a supportive therapy that helps the body receive more oxygen in a controlled, pressurized setting. At Princeton Integrative Health in Lawrenceville, NJ, HBOT is used as part of a personalized care approach that considers the whole patient, not just a single symptom. For patients exploring ways to support recovery, healing, energy, inflammation balance, or long-term wellness, HBOT may be one piece of a broader care plan co-created with our team.

About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Traditionally HBOT has been used for diabetic foot wounds, air and gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, gas gangrene, thermal burns, decompression sickness and acute mountain sickness.

Today, we help treat everything from diabetes, low energy, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy, head injuries, chronic fatigue, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, ALS, anemia, wound and scar healing, post stroke care, post surgical care and healing, improved performance, autism, dementia and bells palsy just to name a few.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT is a treatment where you relax inside a pressurized chamber while breathing oxygen. Because the chamber pressure is higher than normal air pressure, your lungs can take in more oxygen than they typically would. That oxygen then moves through the bloodstream and becomes more available to tissues throughout the body.

In simple terms, HBOT helps increase oxygen delivery. Oxygen plays an important role in repair, immune function, circulation, and tissue recovery. When certain areas of the body are inflamed, injured, or not receiving ideal blood flow, increased oxygen availability may help support the body’s natural healing process.

How HBOT Works in the Body

During treatment, the added pressure helps oxygen dissolve more efficiently into the blood. This allows oxygen to reach areas that may need additional support, including tissues affected by poor circulation, injury, inflammation, or slower healing.

HBOT is not a quick fix or a standalone answer for every concern. Instead, it is best understood as a supportive therapy that may be used alongside nutrition, lifestyle changes, functional testing, medical guidance, and other personalized recommendations. At Princeton Integrative Health, the goal is to understand why dysfunction is happening and build a plan that supports lifelong health.

Medical Uses and Other Conditions People Ask About

HBOT has established medical uses, including certain serious wounds, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, trapped air or gas bubbles in blood vessels, radiation tissue injury, and other specific conditions. These uses differ from broader wellness applications, where research may still be developing.

Many patients also ask about HBOT for concerns such as fatigue, brain health, athletic recovery, Lyme disease, inflammation, post-surgical recovery, or chronic wellness challenges. These areas should be discussed with care and context. Evidence varies by condition, and HBOT should never be presented as a cure. Our team helps patients understand what is known, what is still being studied, and whether HBOT makes sense for their personal health goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before beginning HBOT, you will meet with the Princeton Integrative Health team to review your health history, current concerns, and goals. If HBOT is appropriate, we will explain the process, session length, safety guidance, and what you may feel during treatment.

Most patients rest comfortably during the session. You may notice pressure changes similar to what you feel during air travel. The care team will guide you through the experience and answer questions so you feel informed and supported.

Results and Recovery Timeline

Every patient responds differently. Some people seek HBOT as part of a recovery plan, while others include it in a broader wellness strategy. The number of sessions and expected timeline depend on your health history, treatment goals, and how your body responds over time.

At Princeton Integrative Health, we believe better health is co-created through partnership, education, and personalized care. HBOT may be one tool within that process. To learn whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is right for you, book an appointment with our team today.

 NEUROPATHY

Most Neurological Conditions occurs due to damage to our circulation and nerves. This impairs our ability to get oxygen to our brain and nervous system. HBOT massively increases our oxygen absorption flooding our nervous system with the fuel it needs to heal and recover.

Cerebral Palsy
Bell’s Palsy
Diabetes
Erb’s Palsy
Disc Herniation
Peripheral Neuropathy 
and others…

 NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

In order to improve recovery and performance of our brain, We need to increase our body’s uptake of Oxygen. It is a necessary nutrient helping our brain to heal! HBOT is the only proven method for increasing our oxygenation.

Post Stroke Recovery
Dementia/Alzheimer’s
Concussion/TBI
Autism
Parkinson’s
and others…

 FAST RECOVERY + HEALING

One of the most powerful benefits HBOT is improved wound healing. Whether is the accumulation of small wounds and tissue damage during the course of our lives, (the aging process) wanting to heal post surgically or wanting to stimulate and feed stem cells, HBOT is a critical component to a fast recovery and promote regeneration.

 BALANCING IMMUNE SYSTEM

Many of the pathogens (unhealthy bacteria) that invade our body’s are anaerobes (live without oxygen) Most of our probiotics (healthy bacteria that make up our microbiome) are aerobes (need oxygen for life)! Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to balance our immune system and microbiome by killing pathogens while simultaneously feeding our healthy bacteria what they need for survival and thriving.

 AUTOIMMUNITY

By helping to reduce the negative effects of inflammation, HBOT helps to balance the immune system and promotes tissue repair and healing of wounds: skin, nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and our intestinal lining.

Inflammatory arthritis
Crohn’s Disease 
Ulcerative Colitis
Multiple Sclerosis 
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
and others…

 HBOT IN OFFICE

We believe there is a better way! HBOT therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber. When oxygen is administered at high pressure rates, up to 50% more oxygen can be absorbed in the bloodstream. This oxygen is transported to damaged organs and tissue which speeds up both healing and recovery time. HBOT delivers oxygen up to 3x the normal atmospheric pressure.

As of July 2021, the FDA has cleared hyperbaric chambers for the following disorders:

What people are saying

The hyperbaric chamber is absolutely a life changer. I do it for 1 hour per day and my energy level has increased dramatically. It has alleviated a lot of the brain fog that I was experiencing and it is as if someone has turned on the lights again. It’s as if there was an opaque veil over my eyes and that has been lifted if that makes any sense. Everything is much clearer and sharper and I feel much more present and able to focus. Every day everything gets clearer and it feels as if my body is finally recharging and building strength and stamina again.

I traveled from out of state just to be treated at Princeton Integrative Health specifically, and it was so worth it. Dr. Vinny and the entire team are spectacular. I went from nonfunctional to being able to work within weeks. I had an accident while I was on a vacation, and I needed to access very specific treatment right away to mitigate the long term effects. Even though I myself am a functional medicine doctor, when I need someone to take care of me, I only see the best of the best. I called on a Thursday night and I was seen on Monday because they knew time was of the essence. That’s 5-⭐️ service. It’s rare to find so many cutting edge treatments in one place. If you’re struggling with your health.. don’t waste any time, a trip here will literally save your life.

FAQs

Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, which promotes healing and supports various medical treatments.

HBOT is used to treat a range of conditions, including non-healing wounds, chronic pain, long haul COVID, reproductive issues, and certain infections, among others.

The increased pressure in the chamber allows your lungs to gather more oxygen than they would breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Plus, the mask delivers 100% pure oxygen to your nose. This higher oxygen level in the blood helps to repair tissues, fight bacteria, and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

When administered by trained medical professionals, HBOT is considered safe. However, it may have some risks and side effects, such as ear discomfort, sinus pain, and temporary nearsightedness.

The duration of each session can vary but typically lasts between 60 to 70 minutes.  You have the option to do more time, if desired.  The total number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the therapy.

During a session, you'll lie comfortably inside the chamber as it gradually pressurizes. You may experience a sensation similar to that of flying in an airplane or diving underwater. You'll breathe normally, and you can usually watch TV, listen to music, or even sleep during the treatment.

For some people, it can be within 1 session.  We recommend doing a pack of 10 to start.  The more frequent, the more effective and long-lasting are the results.

Yes, there are certain conditions that may contraindicate the use of HBOT, such as untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung), certain types of lung disease, severe congestive heart failure, and untreated high fever, among others. Dr. Vincent Leonti conducts a thorough medical evaluation before starting HBOT to ensure it's safe for you.

Yes, HBOT can be used in combination with other medical treatments to enhance their effectiveness. It's often part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual's specific medical condition and needs. Many patients will do a cold laser therapy following HBOT to address a target pain area. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure compatibility and safety when combining treatments.
