practical uses for

hyperbaric Oxygen therapy 

HBOT can be safely and effectively used for the management of a wide range of conditions.
international hyperbaric medical association classifies hyperbaric oxygen therapy under 3 tiers 
tier 1 —mild hyperbaric therapy (up to 1.4 ata)
  • Tier 1 chambers are typically "soft," inflatable chambers or made of aluminium using pressurised air at 21 % with a limited flow of 5-8L of oxygen per minute, with 93% oxygen concentration

tier 2— hard chambers,
non-hospital based free standing clinics
(up to 3.0 ata)

  • Tier 2 chambers are considered mid range and deliver medical grade oxygen at a rate of 20-30L per minute with a 96-100% concentration

  • Protocols require greater than 1.5 ATA

  • There are 70 conditions recognised by the International Hyperbaric Medical Foundation requiring higher pressure protocols than Tier 1

  • Conditions are considered investigational and classified as "off label"

  • It is generally understood that HBOT does not directly treat these conditions but may target the physiological processes contributing to them

oxygen4life is a tier 2 clinic 
tier 3 (2.4 ata — 6.0 ATA)

  • Tier 3 covers hospital administered "emergency" and "life threatening" conditions as the pressure is at higher levels.

  • 6 Tier 3 conditions are covered under Medicare

​

The following is a list of common conditions that may use hyperbaric oxygen as part of adjunctive therapy. 
 
Please peruse the list and the resources on this site. 
​
We then invite you to make an appointment if you discover hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be an option for you as part of your existing conditions management strategy.
