Inflammatory and Autoimmune Conditions Support with HBOT
Chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions can greatly impact your quality of life, making even simple tasks feel difficult. At Under Pressure, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides a promising solution by reducing inflammation, modulating immune responses, and promoting healing. Whether you're dealing with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other autoimmune conditions, HBOT can help you manage your symptoms and regain control of your health.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment in which you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber at 2.0ATA or greater pressure. This increase in oxygen helps reduce inflammation, balance the immune system, and promote the repair of damaged tissues, providing relief from chronic symptoms associated with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
Conditions Treated:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis:
- Impact: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes chronic joint inflammation, leading to pain, swelling, and long-term joint damage.
- How HBOT Helps: Reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and promotes tissue repair, potentially slowing the progression of RA.
- Fibromyalgia:
- Impact: Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness, often affecting sleep and cognitive function.
- How HBOT Helps: Enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing pain and fatigue, improving sleep, and supporting cognitive function.
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS):
- Impact: CFS is characterized by severe fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest and worsens with activity.
- How HBOT Helps: Boosts oxygen levels, reducing fatigue, enhancing energy, and improving overall well-being.
- Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus):
- Impact: Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in various organs, leading to joint pain, skin rashes, and organ damage.
- How HBOT Helps: Reduces inflammation, supports tissue healing, and helps decrease the frequency and severity of lupus flare-ups.
- Psoriasis:
- Impact: Psoriasis causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to scaling, redness, and inflammation, sometimes accompanied by psoriatic arthritis.
- How HBOT Helps: HBOT improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes skin healing, relieving psoriasis symptoms.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):
- Impact: IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to abdominal pain and weight loss.
- How HBOT Helps: Reduces gastrointestinal inflammation, promotes the healing of ulcers, and may help extend periods of remission.
How HBOT Works for Inflammatory and Autoimmune Conditions:
HBOT helps manage these conditions by:
- Reducing Chronic Inflammation: HBOT decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, helping to relieve pain and swelling.
- Modulating the Immune System: It balances immune responses, reducing the tissue damage caused by autoimmune attacks.
- Promoting Tissue Repair: By improving oxygenation, HBOT supports the regeneration of damaged tissues, crucial for healing in chronic inflammatory conditions.
- Enhancing Well-being: After HBOT, patients often report better energy levels, improved sleep, and an overall improvement in their quality of life.

The treatment process
Initial Consultation
A healthcare professional evaluates the patient's condition and discusses the potential benefits of HBOT.
Treatment Process
- What to Expect During Your HBOT Sessions: Each HBOT session lasts about 60 to 120 minutes. You will relax in a pressurized chamber while breathing 100% pure oxygen during this time. You may feel a mild pressure in your ears, similar to airplane takeoff. This sensation is normal and will subside as your body adjusts.
- Session Frequency: The number of sessions required depends on the severity of your condition. Most patients undergo several sessions per week for several weeks. Your treatment plan will be customized to your unique health needs.
- After the Session: Many patients feel relaxed and energized after their HBOT sessions. You can return to your regular activities right after each treatment.
Preparing for Your HBOT Treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid smoking and caffeine 2 hours before treatment, as well as consuming alcohol for at least 12 hours before treatment.
- Consult with our team if you're taking medications to determine if any adjustments are needed.
- Stay hydrated, and eat something protein-rich before.
- Post-Treatment Care: You can return to your usual routine after each session. Hydrate well and avoid intense physical activity immediately after your session. Avoid flying for 12 hours and smoking for 2 hours.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT: HBOT is generally safe, but some individuals should avoid treatment.
Conditions that may exclude you from HBOT include:
- Untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
- Certain types of lung disease, such as COPD with air-trapping
- Recent ear or sinus surgery
- Severe claustrophobia
Our medical team will thoroughly assess you before treatment to ensure HBOT is appropriate for you.
Expected Outcomes
- Healing Timeline: The timeline for recovery varies depending on the severity of your condition. Some patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, while others may need a full course of treatments for the best results.
- For Infection Recovery: Many patients see fewer infection symptoms and better wound healing after a few weeks of regular HBOT treatments.
- Long-Term Benefits: HBOT can strengthen the immune system, reduce chronic inflammation, and support long-term recovery. Regular treatments enhance resilience against future infections and promote overall health.
