Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Hackensack, NJ. 1.5 ATA soft-shell chamber.

Oxygen is the most fundamental molecule in the body. HBOT increases how much oxygen reaches every tissue — including areas with poor circulation that often heal slowly. It's a quiet, easy hour that does serious work behind the scenes.

What is HBOT

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combines pressurized air with oxygen-enriched breathing. Under increased pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into your plasma and reaches tissues that red blood cells alone can't fully serve. This includes areas of chronic inflammation, slow-healing tissue, and the brain.

The increased oxygen environment triggers a cascade of effects: stimulated stem cell mobilization, reduced inflammation, improved mitochondrial function, new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and accelerated tissue repair.

Our chamber — soft-shell, 1.5 ATA

We use a soft-shell hyperbaric chamber pressurized to 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute). This is the wellness and longevity-focused pressure — well-tolerated, well-studied, and the right tool for most patients seeking recovery, cognitive support, anti-aging, and inflammation benefits.

Soft-shell chambers at 1.5 ATA are easier to enter, more comfortable for patients with claustrophobia, and produce excellent results for the majority of wellness and longevity indications. Hard-shell hospital-grade chambers at higher pressures (2.0 to 2.4 ATA) are reserved for FDA-approved medical indications and are not the right tool for most longevity-focused use.

What we use HBOT for

• Recovery from training, surgery, or injury
• Cognitive support and brain fog
• Post-concussion symptoms
• Long COVID and post-viral recovery
• Chronic inflammation
• Skin quality and collagen support
• Anti-aging and longevity programs
• Performance optimization
• Pre- and post-surgical preparation

We frequently use HBOT in our integrated longevity programs alongside peptide therapy, NAD+ infusions, hormone optimization, and red light therapy.

What to expect at your session

You'll change into comfortable clothes, leaving electronics outside the chamber. Inside, you'll lie back on a padded surface as we slowly pressurize over 5 to 10 minutes — you'll feel pressure in your ears (just like flying) and we'll guide you through equalization.

At pressure, you'll breathe through a comfortable mask delivering oxygen-enriched air. Most patients listen to music, watch a show on a tablet outside the chamber window, nap, or meditate. After 60 to 90 minutes at pressure, we slowly depressurize over 5 to 10 minutes.

There's no recovery time. Most patients feel calm and clear-headed afterward; some report increased energy or improved sleep that night.

Recommended session count

• Wellness and energy: 10 to 20 sessions, 2 to 3 times per week.
• Cognitive and recovery focus: 20 to 40 sessions, 3 to 5 times per week.
• Maintenance once your initial series is complete: 1 to 2 sessions per week or as needed for events, travel, or high-demand periods.

Safety and screening

HBOT is safe for most adults. We screen for untreated pneumothorax (a hard contraindication), recent ear surgery, severe sinus issues, certain pulmonary conditions, and current pregnancy. Patients on chemotherapy or with implanted medical devices need physician clearance.
