Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

**Currently offered at our Lafayette location only.**

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive wellness treatment where you relax inside a hyperbaric chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen. The increase in atmospheric pressure inside the chamber allows more oxygen to dissolve into your bloodstream, fueling your body’s natural healing processes and promoting recovery at the cellular level.

At Drip IV, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy using soft shell hyperbaric chambers as part of our holistic wellness approach—supporting your body with targeted therapies that enhance energy, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing from the inside out.

• How are soft shell hyperbaric chambers different from hard shell chambers?

  Soft shell hyperbaric chambers operate at lower pressures and are made of flexible materials, making them portable and ideal for wellness-focused oxygen therapy. At Drip IV, we use soft shell chambers for comfort, safety, and convenience.

• How long is each hyperbaric chamber session?

  Each hyperbaric chamber session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. At Drip IV, your session is monitored by trained staff to ensure safety and relaxation from start to finish.

• What conditions or goals can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with?

  Soft shell hyperbaric chamber therapy is commonly used to support recovery from injury, reduce inflammation, promote brain function, and boost immune response.

• Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?

  Most people tolerate hyperbaric chamber therapy very well, especially when using soft shell chambers at lower pressures. At Drip IV, your safety is our top priority. Before beginning therapy, we conduct a thorough health screening to evaluate your medical history, medications, and overall wellness profile. This ensures that HBOT is both safe and appropriate for your specific needs.

  While side effects are rare, some individuals may experience temporary ear pressure, sinus discomfort, mild fatigue, or light-headedness after a session. These effects are typically short-lived and manageable. For individuals with certain conditions—such as uncontrolled asthma, chronic sinus blockages, or untreated pneumothorax—hyperbaric chamber therapy may not be recommended.

  Our trained medical staff will walk you through any potential risks and monitor you closely throughout your session to make sure you’re comfortable, supported, and safe every step of the way.
