Non-Invasive
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which enhances the body's natural healing processes by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled.
Simply Oxygen
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all of the body's fluids, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and the bone.
Faster Healing
This way, extra oxygen can permeate all damaged tissues and the body can support its own natural healing process. The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow.
How it Works
The Intake Process
Consultation is done over the phone with a clinic director to go over medical history, risks/benefits, and any other questions the individual may have.
Pre-Qualification
Patient Intake
A unique patient intake form link is generated and sent to the individual seeking treatment. Once completed, the encrypted information is sent to their electronic medical record.
Qualification & Booking
Consultation notes and Patient Intake Form responses are reviewed by our medical team. If the individual qualifies, an appointment is made over the phone .

Customer Reviews
Here are a couple of reviews taken from our Google Review Page that showcases our passion for leading, patient-centred care in a warm and welcoming environment.
Starting from my first visit to HBOT, the excellent service and care they provide was clearly evident. With their strong understanding and invaluable insights on the importance of recovery and healing, not to mention their outstanding track record and consistency, I highly recommend HBOT to anyone on a healing and recovery journey.
From the beginning, they share their vast knowledge in the recovery and healing spectrum and make you feel part of the family and that they are on your journey with you. Laurie Anne has built a strong, professional, warm and compassionate team around her. Everyone is so supportive, motivating, sincere and caring.
I am so lucky to have found them.
It really works, seriously, it has a variety of benefits beyond what you'll be addressing and these guys stand out. Their equipment is modern, the facility and its chambers are immaculate, and the staff is compassionate, friendly, and accommodating.
Concussions make life hell but with the help of oxygen therapy, the right diet, supplements, and exercise my brain fog is nearly gone and I'm sleeping more like I use to; waking up with energy ready to kickstart my morning and tackle some tasks.
I can't thank them enough, oxygen therapy is one of the best decisions I've made for my health and I look forward to using their services in the future.
