Hyperbaric Oxygen

About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Oxygen-Powered Brain Support

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that delivers pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helping increase the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. At Alzheimer’s Treatment Centers of America (ATCA), this therapy is used to address hypoxia—a lack of oxygen in the brain—commonly linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

By flooding the brain and body with oxygen, HBOT promotes cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and supports neuroplasticity, potentially slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s and improving symptoms like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy work?
During treatment, you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This allows your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen, which your bloodstream then carries throughout the body—including to areas of the brain affected by cognitive decline.
Why is HBOT used for Alzheimer’s and dementia?
Alzheimer’s is often associated with reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. HBOT helps restore that oxygen, supporting brain function and potentially slowing the disease’s progression.
What is a session like?
You relax inside a comfortable, clear chamber for about 60–90 minutes while breathing pure oxygen. It’s a painless and calming experience—some patients even nap during treatment.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy safe?

Yes. HBOT is FDA-cleared for multiple conditions and considered very safe when administered under professional supervision. Our trained staff ensures every session is tailored and monitored.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients report clearer thinking, improved energy, and better sleep after just a few sessions. However, consistent treatment over time yields the most noticeable benefits.
