Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Advanced Oxygen Therapy for Healing & Recovery
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing your body to absorb significantly more oxygen than normal.
This increase in oxygen supports:
- Cellular repair and regeneration
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved circulation and oxygen delivery
- Enhanced immune response
At our clinic, HBOT is used as part of a comprehensive functional health approach to support healing at the root level.
Our Approach
At Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies, HBOT is integrated into a personalized care plan that may include:
- Functional lab testing
- Nutritional therapy
- Targeted supplementation
- Lifestyle and detox support
Functional Health Perspective
While HBOT is traditionally used for acute medical conditions, its core mechanism—enhanced oxygen delivery—supports whole-body healing.
In functional health, we view HBOT as a tool to:
- Optimize mitochondrial function
- Reduce chronic inflammation
- Support detoxification pathways
- Improve tissue oxygenation in chronically stressed systems
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy FAQ's
Please reach us at office@rockieswellness.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
HBOT increases oxygen dissolved in the plasma, which allows oxygen to reach tissues that are:
- Inflamed
- Damaged
- Poorly circulated
This leads to:
- Increased ATP (energy production)
- Angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
- Reduced swelling and inflammation
- Enhanced stem cell mobilizationpersonalized nutrition plans that fit their individual needs and goals.
Research and clinical experience suggest HBOT may:
- Reduce inflammation and calm an overactive immune response
- Enhance tissue repair after injury, surgery, or radiation therapy
- Support brain health and cognitive function
- Improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues
- Boost energy and decrease fatigue
- Support detox pathways by aiding mitochondrial function
