Now with over 150 internationally approved conditions for which HBOT has been shown to be effective and beneficial.
A safe and effective way to provide extra oxygen absorption with minimal side effects.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, often called HBOT, is a supportive therapy that helps the body receive more oxygen in a controlled, pressurized setting. At Princeton Integrative Health in Lawrenceville, NJ, HBOT is used as part of a personalized care approach that considers the whole patient, not just a single symptom. For patients exploring ways to support recovery, healing, energy, inflammation balance, or long-term wellness, HBOT may be one piece of a broader care plan co-created with our team.
Traditionally HBOT has been used for diabetic foot wounds, air and gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, gas gangrene, thermal burns, decompression sickness and acute mountain sickness.
Todday, we help treat everything from diabetes, low energy, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy, head injuries, chronic fatigue, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, ALS, anemia, wound and scar healing, post stroke care, post surgical care and healing, improved performance, autism, dementia and bells palsy just to name a few
How HBOT Works in the Body
During treatment, the added pressure helps oxygen dissolve more efficiently into the blood. This allows oxygen to reach areas that may need additional support, including tissues affected by poor circulation, injury, inflammation, or slower healing.
HBOT is not a quick fix or a standalone answer for every concern. Instead, it is best understood as a supportive therapy that may be used alongside nutrition, lifestyle changes, functional testing, medical guidance, and other personalized recommendations. At Princeton Integrative Health, the goal is to understand why dysfunction is happening and build a plan that supports lifelong health.
Medical Uses and Other Conditions People Ask About
HBOT has established medical uses, including certain serious wounds, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, trapped air or gas bubbles in blood vessels, radiation tissue injury, and other specific conditions. These uses differ from broader wellness applications, where research may still be developing.
Many patients also ask about HBOT for concerns such as fatigue, brain health, athletic recovery, Lyme disease, inflammation, post-surgical recovery, or chronic wellness challenges. These areas should be discussed with care and context. Evidence varies by condition, and HBOT should never be presented as a cure. Our team helps patients understand what is known, what is still being studied, and whether HBOT makes sense for their personal health goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
Functional medicine focuses on root cause resolution rather than simply managing symptoms. At Princeton Integrative Health, we examine how genetics, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition interact to influence your overall wellness. Our team evaluates the body as a connected system rather than a collection of isolated conditions. This model allows us to design personalized strategies that support long-term healing and improve the quality of life for those facing complex health challenges.
Princeton Integrative Health Results and Recovery Timeline
Every patient responds differently. Some people seek HBOT as part of a recovery plan, while others include it in a broader wellness strategy. The number of sessions and expected timeline depend on your health history, treatment goals, and how your body responds over time.
At Princeton Integrative Health, we believe better health is co-created through partnership, education, and personalized care. HBOT may be one tool within that process. To learn whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is right for you,book an appointment with our team today.
Neuropathy
Most neurological conditions occur due to damage to our circulation and nerves. This impairs our ability to get oxygen to our brain and nervous system. HBOT massively increases our oxygen absorption, flooding our nervous system with the fuel it needs to heal and recover.
- Cerebral Palsy
- Bell’s Palsy
- Diabetes
- Erb’s Palsy
- Disc Herniation
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- And others…
Neurological Conditions
In order to improve recovery and performance of our brain, we need to increase our body’s uptake of oxygen. It is a necessary nutrient helping our brain to heal. HBOT is the only proven method for increasing our oxygenation.
- Post Stroke Recovery
- Dementia / Alzheimer’s
- Concussion / TBI
- Autism
- Parkinson’s
- And others…
Fast Recovery + Healing
One of the most powerful benefits HBOT is improved wound healing. Whether it is the accumulation of small wounds and tissue damage during the course of our lives, the aging process, wanting to heal post surgically, or wanting to stimulate and feed stem cells, HBOT is a critical component to a fast recovery and promotes regeneration.
- Regeneration
- Anti-aging
- Stem Cells
- Post Surgical Recovery
- And more…
Balancing Immune System
Many of the pathogens, unhealthy bacteria, that invade our bodies are anaerobes and live without oxygen. Most of our probiotics, healthy bacteria that make up our microbiome, are aerobes and need oxygen for life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to balance our immune system and microbiome by killing pathogens while simultaneously feeding our healthy bacteria what they need for survival and thriving.
- Lyme Disease
- C. Diff
- Microbiome Balance
- Inflammatory Imbalances
- And more…
Autoimmunity
By helping to reduce the negative effects of inflammation, HBOT helps to balance the immune system and promotes tissue repair and healing of wounds: skin, nerves, joints, muscles, tendons, and our intestinal lining.
- Inflammatory Arthritis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
- And others…
HBOT In Office
We believe there is a better way. HBOT therapy enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber. When oxygen is administered at high pressure rates, up to 50% more oxygen can be absorbed in the bloodstream. This oxygen is transported to damaged organs and tissue which speeds up both healing and recovery time. HBOT delivers oxygen up to 3x the normal atmospheric pressure.
The Elevate O2 Membership
Cellular Optimization for Longevity & Chronic Recovery
True health optimization and chronic recovery cannot be achieved overnight—they are built through cumulative consistency. The Elevate O2 Memership is designed for individuals committed to slowing the cellular aging process, reversing chronic inflammatory cycles, and unlocking sustained physical and cognitive vitality.
By integrating regular Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) into your lifestyle, you consistently flood your tissues with pure, pressurized oxygen. This provides your body with the critical fuel needed to deactivate chronic symptom loops, clear stubborn brain fog, and activate your internal repair mechanisms at the deepest level.
Why a Consistent Membership Matters for Longevity
Turning Back the Cellular Clock
Repeated HBOT exposure has been scientifically shown to target core biomarkers of aging. It supports the extension of telomeres (the protective caps on our chromosomes) and helps clear away senescent "zombie" cells that drive systemic decline.
Angiogenesis & Deep Tissue Repair
True long-term vitality requires robust circulation. Consistent sessions trigger angiogenesis—the formation of entirely new capillary networks—ensuring oxygen and vital nutrients can reach previously starved, chronically inflamed tissues.
Stem Cell Mobilization
A structured, routine protocol radically increases the circulation of your body's own stem cells, supercharging your natural capacity for deep tissue regeneration, structural healing, and organ longevity.
Tackling Chronic Pathogens
Many complex, lingering health challenges thrive in low-oxygen environments. Elevating your systemic oxygen levels helps modulate your immune system, balancing your microbiome and creating an inhospitable environment for anaerobic, subclinical infections.
Is HBOT Part of Your Longevity Protocol?
Whether you are actively recovering from a complex chronic condition or proactively engineering your long-term health span, routine hyperbaric therapy serves as a foundational pillar alongside your functional medicine plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, which promotes healing and supports various medical treatments.
HBOT is used to treat a range of conditions, including non-healing wounds, chronic pain, long haul COVID, reproductive issues, and certain infections, among others.
The increased pressure in the chamber allows your lungs to gather more oxygen than they would breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Plus, the mask delivers 100% pure oxygen to your nose. This higher oxygen level in the blood helps to repair tissues, fight bacteria, and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
When administered by trained medical professionals, HBOT is considered safe. However, it may have some risks and side effects, such as ear discomfort, sinus pain, and temporary nearsightedness.
The duration of each session can vary but typically lasts between 60 to 70 minutes. You have the option to do more time, if desired. The total number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the therapy.
During a session, you'll lie comfortably inside the chamber as it gradually pressurizes. You may experience a sensation similar to that of flying in an airplane or diving underwater. You'll breathe normally, and you can usually watch TV, listen to music, or even sleep during the treatment.
For some people, it can be within 1 session. We recommend doing a pack of 10 to start. The more frequent, the more effective and long-lasting are the results.
Yes, there are certain conditions that may contraindicate the use of HBOT, such as untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung), certain types of lung disease, severe congestive heart failure, and untreated high fever, among others. Dr. Vincent Leonti conducts a thorough medical evaluation before starting HBOT to ensure it's safe for you.
Yes, HBOT can be used in combination with other medical treatments to enhance their effectiveness. It's often part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual's specific medical condition and needs. Many patients will do a cold laser therapy following HBOT to address a target pain area. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure compatibility and safety when combining treatments.
