Call to Learn More— What Is HBOT
Healing at the Cellular Level
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen than at normal atmospheric pressure.
This oxygen-rich environment reaches tissues throughout your body — promoting faster healing, reducing inflammation, and supporting your body's natural recovery processes at the cellular level.
At Polaris Collective Wellness, we use mild hyperbaric chambers designed for comfort and ease — making HBOT accessible for a wide range of wellness and recovery goals in Portland, OR.
— The Science, Simply Explained
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Works
01
Pressurized Environment
You relax inside a chamber pressurized to 1.3–1.5 atmospheres — slightly more than normal air pressure.
→
02
Increased O₂ Absorption
At this pressure, your lungs absorb significantly more oxygen than they could at normal atmospheric levels.
→
03
Deep Tissue Delivery
Oxygen-rich blood reaches injured, inflamed, or oxygen-deprived tissues that normal circulation struggles to access.
→
04
Healing Accelerates
Cells repair faster, inflammation decreases, and your body's natural recovery processes are amplified from within.

— Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HBOT safe?
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a well-established safety record. We'll discuss your health history during your consultation to ensure it's appropriate for you.
What does it feel like inside the chamber?
Most people find it comfortable and even relaxing. You may notice a slight pressure sensation in your ears (similar to an airplane descent) during pressurization, which passes quickly.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals. Some people notice results within a few sessions; others benefit from a longer series. We'll recommend a starting plan based on what you're looking to address.
Can I combine HBOT with other treatments at Polaris?
Absolutely — HBOT integrates well with our chiropractic care, red light therapy, and functional medicine services. Many of our patients combine therapies for a more comprehensive healing experience.
