Does mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduce inflammation, or do you need higher pressures to create meaningful change?

To help answer that question, we ran our own study and compared mild-pressure HBOT and higher-pressure HBOT by measuring 81 different inflammatory cytokines.

The results were surprising.

Both groups showed statistically significant changes in inflammation markers—but not always the same ones.

Some cytokines responded more strongly to lower-pressure HBOT, while others responded more strongly to higher-pressure HBOT.

The takeaway wasn't that one pressure was "better" than the other.

The takeaway was that different pressures appear to create different biological effects.

This reinforces an important concept in hyperbaric medicine: HBOT exists on a continuum. Rather than forcing every patient into the same protocol, we should be looking at their goals, health concerns, and clinical data to determine which pressure may be the most appropriate for them.

When it comes to inflammation, higher isn't always better. Different pressures may simply produce different outcomes.

If you’ve been doing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and it “isn’t working” yet, stay the course.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) might be working...just not on what you expected first.

Many people start hyperbaric oxygen therapy with a list of things they're hoping it will fix. The frustrating reality? You don't get to choose which benefit comes first.

HBOT creates universal cellular changes in everyone, but how those changes show up in your life varies. Your body decides what to heal first, not you.

If you're seeing ANY positive changes (better sleep, more energy, improved mental clarity, stronger immune function), you're on the right track. Those subtle signs mean the therapy is working, even if your main symptom hasn't improved yet.

Keep going. The benefit you're waiting for will likely break through if you hold the course.

There’s often a delay in HBOT benefits.

The signals created by hyperbaric oxygen therapy can begin changing very quickly, sometimes within the first few sessions. But the results of those signals, like healing, tissue repair, or stem cell mobilization, can take weeks to fully develop.

That’s why it can take a while for benefits to be noticeable, and why many patients continue improving even after treatment ends.

HBOT helps create momentum in the healing process. And once that momentum is moving in the right direction, the body can continue responding for weeks afterward.

For short-term injuries, treatment may have a clear beginning and end.
For chronic or autoimmune conditions, ongoing maintenance may be needed at a lower intensity.

The key is understanding that healing timelines and treatment timelines are not always the same.

Most people associate hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with emergency medicine or wound healing, but its potential applications extend far beyond acute injuries.

HBOT has long been used to support recovery from acute conditions by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting healing, and helping the body recover after injury. But researchers have also explored its role in supporting people with certain chronic health conditions because of its effects on several fundamental biological processes.

One reason HBOT is being studied so extensively is that it may help regulate inflammation, support mitochondrial energy production, and influence immune system function. These are systems involved in many chronic health challenges, which is why HBOT is often considered as part of a broader treatment strategy rather than a stand-alone solution.

Whether someone is recovering from an acute injury or managing a long-term condition, the goal is the same: to create an environment that supports the body's natural healing and repair processes.

If you have low blood pressure, is it safe to do hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?

Well, it's not that somebody with low blood pressure is going to have an issue in the hyperbaric chamber.

The pressure of the chamber is ultimately not really going to affect pressure inside their circulatory system.

When they go to get out of the chamber however, they do need to get up slowly. So, have them sit up first before standing to get the blood flowing. Or, depending on your chamber style, you could possibly have them turn to their knees first before standing up as well.

If they stand straight up too quickly, it could cause them to become dizzy or possibly lightheaded and they could become a fall risk.

One of the biggest misconceptions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is that results should be immediate. In reality, there's often a delay between when treatment begins, when cellular changes start taking place, and when those changes become noticeable in your symptoms, recovery, or performance.

That's why consistency matters. While a single session may provide some benefit, many of the long-term adaptations associated with HBOT occur after completing a series of treatments. Stopping too early or spacing sessions too far apart may prevent you from reaching the results you're hoping for.

Another important factor is expectations. Many people begin HBOT with several goals in mind—more energy, less pain, improved cognition, better sleep, faster recovery, and more. The challenge is that the body doesn't necessarily improve those areas in the order you expect. You may notice meaningful progress in one area before another, even if your primary concern hasn't changed yet.

If you've tried hyperbaric therapy and felt like it "didn't work," it's worth asking two questions:

What outcome were you hoping to achieve?

Was the treatment protocol designed for that specific goal?

The right protocol, applied consistently, is just as important as the therapy itself. Matching the treatment plan to your objectives (and giving your body enough time to respond) can make all the difference.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is not a cure.

However, it does a lot in our bodies.

Something I often say is. "HBOT cures nothing and at the same time, helps almost everything."

It's delivers oxygen at a higher level than what we can normally get.

That increase in oxygen improves cellular energy, cell regeneration tissue repair, and so much more.

So, in many cases, hyperbaric can help.

When deciding if HBOT is a good fit for someone or not, I need to understand what the person’s expectations are, what their issues and goals are, and then what the mechanisms of actions are. I also would look to the research and what it says about the patient’s individual circumstance.

We follow this and we also teach how to create protocols, evaluate individual needs, and the mechanisms of action in our certification courses.

What if they have IBD AND TBI?

Choosing the right HBOT pressure is not as simple as matching a goal or issue to a protocol.

When a patient has multiple issues or goals, each tissue may respond differently to hyperbaric oxygen. For example, someone with Crohn's disease and a history of brain trauma may ultimately benefit from higher treatment pressures for intestinal healing, but the brain is far more sensitive to oxygen exposure.

In cases like these, it often makes sense to begin with lower pressures to help heal the more delicate tissue before gradually increasing toward the target pressure needed for other issues.

Effective HBOT is about understanding the patient as a whole and adjusting the treatment plan based on their unique situation, not just use cookie cutter protocols.

I did a comparative study on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) using 1.3 with enriched oxygen vs. 2.0 with enriched oxygen. The study measured the same parameters to understand what the differences were in the patients who received lower pressures, and in the patients that received higher pressures.

We had three groups.

A mild pressure treatment group that received 1.3 atmospheres on 100% oxygen.

A high pressure treatment group that received 2 atmospheres on 100% oxygen.

A control group.

Each of the treatment groups received 100 minutes of HBOT three times a week for five weeks. During that 100 minutes, they each received four air breaks. This looked like 20 minutes on oxygen, five minutes air, then repeated 4 times.

We did four air breaks with each treatment. They did a series of five weeks. Then they had a month off. They did another series of five weeks and then they were finished. We had ten people in each group.

These individuals were 40 to 70 year old and mixed male and female.

They had to never have had HBOT before and they had to be non diagnosed and asymptomatic.

In other words, this wasn't a research project to look at Hyperbaric's effect on a disease process. It was a project to look at the effect of HBOT on an otherwise healthy American.

I wanted to look to see if hyperbaric reduces inflammation in an otherwise healthy population. Also, does it improve cognitive function in an otherwise healthy population? And does it shift the epigenome as well?

Some results I found, I expected. Higher pressure had a higher magnitude of effect and lower pressure had a lower magnitude of effect.

However, there was also something that I didn't expect to find, especially inside the cytokine data and the epigenetic data.

There were entire groups of markers inside this data set that showed higher pressure HBOT had an effect that lower pressure just didn't have.

Then, there were also entire groups of markers that showed lower pressure had a certain effect that higher pressure just did not have.

Both groups reduced inflammation, improved cognition, and shifted the epigenome in very unique and specific ways.
