Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, which promotes healing and supports various medical treatments.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
HBOT is a treatment in which a patient breathes air or varying amounts of oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber, the pressure being anything above 1 atmosphere. HBOT has developed a successful track record of helping patients who have been diagnosed with numerous conditions. Outside of the FDA-approved uses, there are now over 120 internationally recognized indications for which HBOT has been shown to be effective and beneficial.
About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Traditionally HBOT has been used for diabetic foot wounds, air and gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, gas gangrene, thermal burns, decompression sickness and acute mountain sickness.
Today, we help treat everything from diabetes, low energy, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy, head injuries, chronic fatigue, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, ALS, anemia, wound and scar healing, post stroke care, post surgical care and healing, improved performance, autism, dementia and bells palsy just to name a few.
NEUROPATHY
Most Neurological Conditions occurs due to damage to our circulation and nerves. This impairs our ability to get oxygen to our brain and nervous system. HBOT massively increases our oxygen absorption flooding our nervous system with the fuel it needs to heal and recover.
Cerebral Palsy
Bell’s Palsy
Diabetes
Erb’s Palsy
Disc Herniation
Peripheral Neuropathy
and others…
NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
In order to improve recovery and performance of our brain, We need to increase our body’s uptake of Oxygen. It is a necessary nutrient helping our brain to heal! HBOT is the only proven method for increasing our oxygenation.
Post Stroke Recovery
Dementia/Alzheimer’s
Concussion/TBI
Autism
Parkinson’s
and others…
FAST RECOVERY + HEALING
One of the most powerful benefits HBOT is improved wound healing. Whether is the accumulation of small wounds and tissue damage during the course of our lives, (the aging process) wanting to heal post surgically or wanting to stimulate and feed stem cells, HBOT is a critical component to a fast recovery and promote regeneration.

BALANCING IMMUNE SYSTEM
Many of the pathogens (unhealthy bacteria) that invade our body’s are anaerobes (live without oxygen) Most of our probiotics (healthy bacteria that make up our microbiome) are aerobes (need oxygen for life)! Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to balance our immune system and microbiome by killing pathogens while simultaneously feeding our healthy bacteria what they need for survival and thriving.

AUTOIMMUNITY
By helping to reduce the negative effects of inflammation, HBOT helps to balance the immune system and promotes tissue repair and healing of wounds: skin, nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and our intestinal lining.

HBOT IN OFFICE
We believe there is a better way! HBOT therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber. When oxygen is administered at high pressure rates, up to 50% more oxygen can be absorbed in the bloodstream. This oxygen is transported to damaged organs and tissue which speeds up both healing and recovery time. HBOT delivers oxygen up to 3x the normal atmospheric pressure.

The hyperbaric chamber is absolutely a life changer. I do it for 1 hour per day and my energy level has increased dramatically. It has alleviated a lot of the brain fog that I was experiencing and it is as if someone has turned on the lights again. It’s as if there was an opaque veil over my eyes and that has been lifted if that makes any sense. Everything is much clearer and sharper and I feel much more present and able to focus. Every day everything gets clearer and it feels as if my body is finally recharging and building strength and stamina again.

I traveled from out of state just to be treated at Princeton Integrative Health specifically, and it was so worth it. Dr. Vinny and the entire team are spectacular. I went from nonfunctional to being able to work within weeks. I had an accident while I was on a vacation, and I needed to access very specific treatment right away to mitigate the long term effects. Even though I myself am a functional medicine doctor, when I need someone to take care of me, I only see the best of the best. I called on a Thursday night and I was seen on Monday because they knew time was of the essence. That’s 5-⭐️ service. It’s rare to find so many cutting edge treatments in one place. If you’re struggling with your health.. don’t waste any time, a trip here will literally save your life.

FAQs
HBOT is used to treat a range of conditions, including non-healing wounds, chronic pain, long haul COVID, reproductive issues, and certain infections, among others.
When administered by trained medical professionals, HBOT is considered safe. However, it may have some risks and side effects, such as ear discomfort, sinus pain, and temporary nearsightedness.
The duration of each session can vary but typically lasts between 60 to 70 minutes. You have the option to do more time, if desired. The total number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the therapy.
During a session, you'll lie comfortably inside the chamber as it gradually pressurizes. You may experience a sensation similar to that of flying in an airplane or diving underwater. You'll breathe normally, and you can usually watch TV, listen to music, or even sleep during the treatment.
For some people, it can be within 1 session. We recommend doing a pack of 10 to start. The more frequent, the more effective and long-lasting are the results.
Yes, there are certain conditions that may contraindicate the use of HBOT, such as untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung), certain types of lung disease, severe congestive heart failure, and untreated high fever, among others. Dr. Vincent Leonti conducts a thorough medical evaluation before starting HBOT to ensure it's safe for you.
Yes, HBOT can be used in combination with other medical treatments to enhance their effectiveness. It's often part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual's specific medical condition and needs. Many patients will do a cold laser therapy following HBOT to address a target pain area. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure compatibility and safety when combining treatments.
