If you are unable to "pop" your ears by yourself or by using our methods, then you will not be able to do hyperbaric therapy. Unfortunately, the pressure will continue and cause pain to the ear (Barotrauma). Hyperbaric Therapy should never be painful.

If at any point you need to get out of the chamber, there is a button and/or manual valves to safely depressurize the chamber to get out and go to the bathroom.

Yes. While inside the chamber you can use our intercom system to talk with your technician for any assistance.

Only clean, cotton clothing is allowed in the chamber. Patients should give up all tobacco and nicotine products, as they interfere with the body’s ability to transport oxygen.

The most common side effect is barotrauma (pressure) to the ears and sinuses caused by the change in pressure. To minimize this, patients learn techniques to clear their ears during compression. If at any point you need to pressurize at a slower rate, let us know. At Go2 Hyperbarics, we follow well-known treatment protocols to avoid any such issues.

Hard chambers have shown superior therapeutic benefits for more conditions due to higher pressure (2.0+ ATA vs. 1.3 ATA in a soft chamber), greater oxygen purity, and technical oversight.This aligns with the majority of clinical trials, benefits, and common protocols.

Yes. There is a STOP button as well as manual valves (to open) directly by you in the chamber. It takes about 2 minutes to depressurize.

No. Soft chambers have a few benefits for patients in some applications. We use hard chambers to provide the same benefits and many more, enabling higher pressures that follow the vast majority of clinical trials and protocols. Because of this, we can be more confident in our client's success.

In order to get Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity, a client would have to receive therapy for at least 6 hours within a 24 hour period. Our sessions last 90 minutes and we limit our clients to 1 session per day.

Yes. Nearly all studies apply consistent therapy over a limited time window (example: 60 sessions within 90 days). Inconsistent sessions will likely result in minimal benefit. A generally healthy diet/lifestyle is important as well.

The "40-hour protocol" is the gold standard for many of the physiological benefits and in case studies. Most of the benefits begin within the first few sessions of HBOT. It is well documented that the antioxidant and protective role of HBOT is demonstrated within 24 hours of a hyperbaric session, but a noticeable change varies for each person. Each case is different and your doctor may regulate protocols, depending on a patient’s goals.

Hyperbarics can have profound benefits for certain individuals and no noticeable changes for others. If we are not seeing changes in the first 20-30 treatments, we will want to revisit the treatment plan and potentially seek out collaborative care with our partner clinicians. Dozens of studies have shown the benefits of HBOT (blood vessel growth, increased stem cell production, etc.) but feeling a noticeable change varies for each person and in each case.

No. Unfortunately, there are only 14 conditions that are covered by insurance (on-label uses) at specific medical facilities and at great cost. These few conditions do not warrant our business accepting insurance. We provide off-label therapy to those who are seeking it.
