Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Los Gatos (HBOT) at Dr. Adam Fields’ Office

If you’ve been dealing with chronic health concerns, unexplained fatigue, or persistent symptoms, it may be time to explore a supportive therapy that helps your body recover at a deeper level. At Dr. Adam Fields’ Los Gatos office, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a therapy that increases oxygen availability in the body to support natural healing and repair.

Many patients also choose to combine HBOT with services we offer in-office, including cranial adjusting, laser therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), shockwave therapy, and corrective chiropractic care. This integrated approach helps support recovery, function, and overall wellness.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into the bloodstream, helping oxygen reach areas with reduced circulation and supporting healing at the cellular level.

Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT supports your body’s natural healing abilities by increasing oxygen availability. Oxygen is essential for tissue repair, immune function, and recovery. Many people seek hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Los Gatos because it can be a helpful part of a comprehensive plan for healing and long-term wellness.

What Are the Effects of HBOT on the Body?

During HBOT, the increased chamber pressure helps oxygen dissolve into plasma and circulate more efficiently. This can help oxygen reach areas that typically have limited circulation, such as damaged, inflamed, or stressed tissues.

Here are some ways HBOT may support the body:

• Reduces inflammation: Oxygen may help support healthy inflammatory responses and recovery.
• Boosts immune function: Increased oxygen availability can support the work of white blood cells.
• Supports detoxification: Some patients seek HBOT as part of broader wellness plans that focus on recovery from environmental exposure.
• Stimulates healing: Oxygen supports tissue repair and processes involved in recovery and regeneration.

Backed by Science: What Studies Say About HBOT

The science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy is active and continues to expand. Research has explored HBOT in areas such as wound healing, inflammation, and neurological support.

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.

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, patients commonly ask about HBOT support for:

• Chronic pain and inflammation, including arthritis and sports injuries
• Neurological concerns, including post-concussion symptoms, traumatic brain injury recovery goals, and stroke recovery goals
• Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel conditions
• Wound healing support, including post-surgical recovery goals
• Sudden hearing loss and tinnitus support
• Post-surgical recovery support to promote healing and minimize 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 needs and determine whether HBOT is a good fit for your goals. Dr. Adam Fields and our team will answer your questions and create a personalized plan.

HBOT Sessions

Each HBOT session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. During the session, you relax in our pressurized chamber while breathing oxygen. Many people describe the experience as calming.

 

 

 

Recommended Number of Sessions

The number of sessions depends on your condition and goals. For more acute goals such as recovery support, some people start with 10 to 20 sessions. For chronic concerns or neurological recovery goals, we may recommend 30 to 40 sessions for optimal support.

Complementary Therapies to Maximize Results

HBOT can be effective on its own, and pairing it with additional therapies can support more comprehensive results. Our Los Gatos office may recommend combining HBOT with:

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.
