Preparing for Treatment Hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments are administered daily and requires patients to be present for approximately 2.5 hours each day. Course of treatment varies by diagnosis, but usually consists of 20-30 treatments. You will be seen and evaluated by our staff before and after your therapy. Only 100% cotton hospital gowns or "scrubs" are allowed in the chamber. These will be provided to you before the procedure begins. Do not smoke for at least two hours before or after treatment. Do not drink any alcohol prior to treatment. Eat a regular meal before treatment (this is especially important for diabetic patients). If your doctor has prescribed any medications for you, take them as usual (including pain medication) before you arrive and inform our staff during your evaluation. If you have a cold or any sinus congestion, please inform our staff upon arrival, as this may determine whether nasal sprays and decongestants are administered. If you have an existing wound, a dressing change may also be performed. Safety Precautions Because the chamber is pressurized with 100% oxygen, we cannot allow certain items to be taken inside. These include lighters or matches, cigarettes, nylons, wigs or hairpieces, petroleum jelly, ointments, hearing aids, watches, makeup, lipstick or lip balm, hair spray, hair oil or relaxers, synthetic clothing or hard contact lenses. Should you have any questions, we will be happy to discuss them with you before treatment begins. (Title of Photo Here)   (More Information Here)
