Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Transformative Path to Healing at Dr. Adam Fields’ Los Gatos Office
If you’ve been struggling with chronic health issues, unexplained fatigue, or persistent symptoms it’s time to explore solutions that work on a deeper level to restore your health. At Dr. Adam Fields’ office in Los Gatos, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a powerful, scientifically validated treatment designed to enhance your body’s natural healing capabilities. Coupled with complementary therapies like cranial adjusting, laser therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, shockwave therapy, and corrective chiropractic care, our holistic approach can provide the relief and vitality you’ve been seeking.
Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, allowing it to travel deeper into tissues and promote healing at the cellular level .It’s especially beneficial for conditions where blood flow and oxygen delivery are compromised, such as chronic inflammation, neurological conditions, and soft tissue injuries.
Imagine giving your body the extra oxygen it needs to heal—that’s exactly what Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy does. Over the years, science has shown us just how impactful HBOT can be for various health challenges:
- A study published in Medical Gas Research noted, “HBOT has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, critical components of chronic illnesses such as mold-related toxicity.” National Library of Medicine
- Research in Advances in Wound Care concluded that “HBOT significantly accelerates tissue repair and regeneration by promoting angiogenesis and stem cell activity.” Biomedicines
What are the effects of HBOT on the body?
When you undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, the increased pressure in the chamber allows oxygen to dissolve directly into your plasma, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. This elevated oxygen concentration reaches areas of the body that typically have limited circulation, such as damaged or inflamed tissues.
Here’s how HBOT works on a cellular level:
- Reduces Inflammation: Oxygen decreases pro-inflammatory markers and stimulates anti-inflammatory processes, helping your body resolve chronic inflammation.
- Boosts Immune Function: Higher oxygen levels enhance the ability of white blood cells to fight infections and remove toxins.
- Improves Detoxification: For mold-exposed patients, HBOT accelerates the removal of mycotoxins from your system.
- Stimulates Healing: Increased oxygen levels encourage new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and tissue regeneration, which are essential for recovery.
Backed by Science: What Studies Say About HBOT
The science behind HBOT is compelling, and numerous studies validate its efficacy for various conditions.
Wound Healing
One of the most recognized uses of HBOT is in wound healing. A study published in Diabetes Care found that HBOT significantly improved healing in diabetic foot ulcers: “HBOT was associated with improved wound healing and a reduction in major amputations compared to standard care.” This finding highlights HBOT’s ability to improve oxygen delivery to areas with compromised blood flow, helping tissues regenerate faster. American Diabetes Association
Neurological Benefits
HBOT has shown promising results for neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke. According to research in Frontiers in Neurology, “HBOT has the potential to promote neuroplasticity and improve cognitive function in chronic brain injury patients.” By flooding the brain with oxygen, HBOT can stimulate the repair of damaged neurons and improve overall brain function.

Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a root cause of many health issues, from arthritis to Crohn’s disease. A study in PLOS ONE revealed that “HBOT significantly reduces markers of systemic inflammation,” making it an effective therapy for managing conditions driven by inflammatory processes.

What Conditions Can HBOT Help You Treat?
At Dr. Adam Fields’ office in Los Gatos, we’ve seen HBOT make a profound difference for patients dealing with:
- Chronic pain and inflammation: Whether from arthritis, sports injuries, or other conditions, HBOT helps reduce pain by addressing the root cause—inflammation.
- Neurological conditions: Including post-concussion syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and stroke recovery.
- Autoimmune disorders: Such as Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Wound healing: From surgical wounds, HBOT speeds up recovery.
- Sudden hearing loss: Many patients report improved hearing after a series of HBOT sessions.
- Post-surgical recovery: HBOT accelerates healing and minimizes complications.
What to Expect During Your HBOT Treatment
Your HBOT experience at our Los Gatos office is designed to be comfortable and effective. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough consultation to assess your health needs and determine if HBOT is the right fit for you. Dr. Adam Fields and our team will answer all your questions and create a personalized treatment plan.
Sessions
Each HBOT session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. During the session, you’ll relax in our pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Most people describe the experience as calming and rejuvenating.
Recommended Number of Sessions
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your condition and health goals. For acute issues like wound healing, 10-20 sessions may be sufficient. For chronic conditions or neurological recovery, we often recommend 30-40 sessions for optimal results.
Complementary Therapies to Maximize Results
While HBOT is a powerful standalone therapy, pairing it with other advanced treatments enhances its effectiveness and accelerates your recovery. Here are some complementary therapies we offer:
1. Cranial Adjusting
Cranial adjusting corrects misalignments in the skull that can impede blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid circulation. By addressing cranial imbalances, this therapy optimizes the effects of HBOT, allowing oxygen to better reach the brain.
2. Laser Therapy
High-intensity laser therapy promotes tissue repair and reduces pain by stimulating cellular activity. A study in Photomedicine and Laser Surgery showed that laser therapy significantly enhances mitochondrial function, aligning perfectly with HBOT’s oxygenating effects.
3. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, improving mood and cognitive function. For patients recovering from mold exposure or chronic fatigue, combining TMS with HBOT can lead to sharper focus and improved emotional well-being.
4. Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) delivers acoustic waves to damaged tissues, promoting blood flow and accelerating healing. It’s particularly effective for addressing chronic pain and enhancing the benefits of HBOT.
5. Corrective Chiropractic
Corrective chiropractic care aligns your spine and nervous system, ensuring optimal communication between your brain and body. This enhances your body’s ability to heal and amplifies the restorative effects of HBOT.
What You Can Achieve with HBOT
HBOT delivers tangible benefits that can transform your quality of life. Here’s what you might notice:
- Improved Energy Levels: Many patients report feeling more energized and less fatigued after just a few sessions.
- Faster Recovery: Whether you’re healing from surgery or an injury, HBOT speeds up the process.
- Reduced Pain and Inflammation: Chronic pain often diminishes significantly, allowing for greater mobility and comfort.
- Enhanced Mental Clarity: Patients with neurological conditions often experience sharper focus, improved memory, and better mood.
- Better Overall Health: By reducing inflammation and boosting immune function, HBOT supports your body’s ability to fend off illnesses.
