Imagine giving your body the oxygen it needs to truly heal. That’s the idea behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — a treatment that helps your cells repair, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery in ways that ordinary oxygen can’t.
At Optimize Integrative Health, we offer HBOT as part of our concierge-style approach to wellness, helping patients from Tampa Bay and beyond restore health, energy, and longevity.
During HBOT, you sit or lie in a comfortable pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Inside, the air pressure is raised to levels up to three times higher than normal. This allows your lungs — and ultimately your entire body — to absorb far more oxygen than usual.
That extra oxygen gets carried through your bloodstream to where it’s needed most, accelerating repair, boosting circulation, calming inflammation, and supporting brain and body recovery.
HBOT has wide-ranging benefits. Patients often report improvements like:
stubborn wounds, surgical sites, or injuries repair more quickly
easing pain and speeding recovery
supporting healthy organs and tissues
oxygen fuels your body’s ability to fight infection
clearer thinking, memory improvements, and support after brain injury or stroke
helping your body clear toxins more effectively
Hyperbaric therapy can help people from many walks of life, including:
Athletes boost recovery, reduce soreness, and support performance
People with chronic conditions such as diabetes or side effects from radiation
Neurological patients stroke survivors, traumatic brain injury patients, or those with cognitive concerns
Wellness seekers individuals looking for anti-aging support and long-term resilience
HBOT is FDA-approved for several conditions and widely used in functional and integrative medicine for others. Common uses include:
diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, radiation injuries
stroke, traumatic brain injury, concussion recovery
including gangrene and osteomyelitis
radiation cystitis, proctitis, or tissue damage
carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness
We believe HBOT is most effective when it’s personalized. Here’s our process at Optimize:
we review your health history and goals
blood panels, genomic testing, and other labs to understand your needs
led by Dr. Haley Todsen and our integrative care team
HBOT may be combined with peptides, hormones, or other therapies for best results
we track your progress and adjust as your body heals
For us, HBOT isn’t just about a machine or protocol — it’s about restoring your body’s ability to heal itself. We combine this advanced therapy with functional medicine, personalized testing, and long-term support so you don’t just feel better in the moment — you thrive long-term.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply optimizing for healthy aging, HBOT can be a powerful part of your plan.
