Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Newmarket
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work?
You enter a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber and breathe pure oxygen under high pressure. In this chamber, the air pressure is increased 1.5 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure — a condition that your body needs to heal faster.
The session amount and duration heavily depend on the condition. Newmarket Health & Wellness Center experts will develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible results.

Conditions Treated With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Our Cases
Surgery Recovery
In pre-and post-surgery care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions do more than lower the pain levels. They works holistically from different angles:
Collagen forms more effectively, resulting in better-quality healing with reduced scar tissue, which benefits both mobility and appearance.
Concussion Recovery
For patients recovering from injuries – suffering from a traumatic brain injury, anoxic brain injury, or concussion – HBOT can make a big difference, working on:
Concussions lower the amount of oxygen reaching the brain — HBOT increases its levels to help brain cells recover.
Crohn’s Disease
Patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease often experience extreme symptoms that lower the overall quality of life.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps with the following symptoms associated with Crohn’s disease:
HBOT lowers the chance of infections, complications, and symptom recurrence. The patients note faster healing rate and tissue repair and become less dependent on pain medication.

Following a thorough scientific analysis of hyperbaric chambers, Health Canada has determined that HBOT is an effective treatment option for specific conditions (see the list above).

How to Prepare for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The facility’s healthcare team or your personal physician will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for HBOT. Since hyperbaric oxygen chambers can have adverse effects on skin care products, you may be advised to avoid certain products. Before your HBOT session, you may be asked not to wear lotions, hairsprays, perfumes, or make-up.
When you arrive for your treatment, you’ll change into a hospital gown or scrubs and remove metal objects and electronic devices from your person. It’s recommended to visit the restroom before entering the hyperbaric chamber, as sessions can last anywhere from 45 to 300 minutes depending on the condition. -
When to Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
HBOT facilitates healing through increased oxygen levels in a pressurized environment. The oxygen you breathe in a hyperbaric chamber is two to three times higher than normal air pressure. This enhances blood oxygenation and allows your body to heal tissues and withstand infections more effectively. HBOT has a strong reputation as a reliable treatment option for various illnesses and ailments.
The following are a few of the approved uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy:
• Decompression sickness
• Burns
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Gas gangrene
• Hearing loss
• Vision loss
• Severe anemia
• Intercranial abscess
• Necrotizing soft tissue infections
• Skin grafts
• Cyanide poisoning
• Embolisms
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Compartment syndrome
• Bone infection
• Frostbite
• Radiation injuries
• Crush injuries
While HBOT is very beneficial for a range of conditions, it’s important to understand that it does not treat all illnesses and injuries. There is currently no evidence to support the success of HBOT in treating multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, cancer, AIDS, stroke, or migraine headaches. -
What to Expect After HBOT?
Once you finish your HBOT session, it’s normal to feel slightly lightheaded, tired, or have a mild headache. It’s best to arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home in case you experience any short-term side effects.
