Breaks will be provided from the oxygen and hood once or twice during the treatment. When the treatment is over, the oxygen hood will be removed and the pressure inside the chamber will released. During this process, known as decompression, you may notice your ears pop and crackle a bit. This is normal. The temperature will change again, during decompression and you may be very cool.
Blankets are available for comfort.
Total decompression will take 5-10 minutes. No matter what symptoms or condition, if your doctor recommends hyperbaric oxygen therapy, our staff will work to ensure your comfort during treatment. Many people are nervous, but once they see how large the tank is, they're able to relax. Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment is painless and, more importantly, its extremely effective in helping you heal.
