Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Long Beach
Sessions in a sit-down chamber at K Wellness, starting with a consultation to see whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate for you.
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) means breathing concentrated oxygen while you sit inside a chamber that is pressurized above normal air pressure.
At K Wellness, sessions take place in a soft-sided chamber you sit upright in. [Chamber pressure (ATA) and oxygen delivery — to be confirmed by the clinic] Our chamber is not used to treat medical conditions. For FDA-cleared uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, talk to your doctor.
