(704) 385-5113Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Charlotte, NC
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which you breathe near-100% oxygen inside a chamber pressurized above normal air pressure, dissolving more oxygen into the blood so it can reach tissues where circulation is reduced.
At VYVE Wellness in Charlotte, NC, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is performed under physician supervision by Dr. Will Haas, MD.

How HBOT Supports the Body's Healing Process
You breathe high-concentration oxygen while the chamber is pressurized. This increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in your blood, which can help oxygen reach tissues with reduced blood flow.
Pressurized oxygen triggers your body’s natural healing processes, enhancing:
- Stem cell production
- Blood vessel formation
- Tissue repair
- Immune system activation
- Cellular regeneration
Every hyperbaric oxygen treatment is monitored and adjusted based on your:
- Medical condition
- Healing needs
- Treatment goals
- Health history
HBOT is FDA-cleared for specific conditions, such as certain non-healing wounds and delayed radiation injury. Research into other uses is ongoing, and results vary from person to person.
Who Can Benefit from HBOT?
Our team works with patients who have a range of health goals. HBOT may be a fit for you if you are:
- Dealing with Chronic Wounds: Multiple studies confirm HBOT's effectiveness for diabetic wounds, skin grafts, and non-healing injuries
- Seeking Cognitive Enhancement: Experience improved mental clarity and focus
- Recovering from Surgery: Ask whether HBOT could be part of your recovery plan
- Managing Chronic Conditions: Support your body's natural healing processes
- Focused on Athletic Performance: Enhance recovery and optimize performance

Most patients tolerate HBOT well, but some may experience minor side effects:
- Middle ear pressure (similar to airplane travel)
- Temporary sinus discomfort
- Mild fatigue after treatment
Our trained technicians monitor you throughout each session and can adjust pressure levels to ensure your comfort. Serious side effects are rare when treatment is provided in a medical facility like ours.
At VYVE Wellness, we offer two comfortable chamber options. Our multiplace chamber is a spacious room-like environment where multiple patients can receive treatment together, making it feel more open and social, reducing feelings of claustrophobia. For those preferring privacy, our monoplace chamber features a transparent design with panoramic views and entertainment options. Our experienced team helps ease anxiety through:
- Pre-session chamber orientation
- Constant communication throughout treatment
- Entertainment systems in both chamber types
- Presence of trained technicians
- Option to start with shorter sessions
- Flexibility to switch between chamber types
Most patients who initially feel anxious adapt quickly and complete their treatment course comfortably.
During treatment, we carefully control atmospheric pressure to therapeutic levels, typically 1.5 to 2.4 times normal atmospheric pressure (ATA). This is similar to:
- Swimming 16-33 feet underwater
- Less air pressure than opening a champagne bottle
- Similar to flying in a pressurized aircraft with normal air
The pressure change is gradual and controlled, like taking off in an airplane. Our technicians monitor and adjust pressure levels throughout your session, ensuring your comfort and safety at all times.
We recommend:
- Comfortable, 100% cotton clothing
- Current medications list
- Blood sugar monitoring equipment (for diabetic patients)
- Something to read or listen to during treatment
- Any prescribed medications you may need during treatment
Note: Our technical team must approve all medical devices for use in the hyperbaric chamber.
Response times vary by condition:
- Acute conditions may show improvement within 1-5 sessions
- Chronic wounds typically begin showing changes within 10-15 treatments
- Neurological conditions may require 20-40 sessions before significant improvement
- Some people report increased energy and better sleep after just a few sessions
Your healthcare provider will follow your progress and adjust your hyperbaric treatment plan.
Insurance coverage varies depending on your condition. HBOT is typically covered for FDA-approved conditions such as:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Chronic non-healing wounds
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Decompression sickness
- Radiation injury
- Crush injuries
Most other conditions, including neurological, autoimmune, and wellness treatments, are generally not covered by insurance and require self-payment. Our staff can help verify your coverage and discuss payment options for non-covered conditions.
HBOT delivers >90% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to saturate tissues deeply, while EWOT involves breathing concentrated oxygen during exercise for performance enhancement. Both are valuable but serve different purposes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates healing for challenging wounds by:
- Increasing oxygen concentration in body’s tissues
- Stimulating new blood cell formation
- Supporting vascular and pulmonary health
- Treating deep tissue infections and abscesses
- Preventing tissue necrosis and occlusions
- Managing difficult cases of thermal burns and wound healing
Our certified technicians monitor each session to prevent:
- Barotrauma complications
- Oxygen toxicity
- Pulmonary concerns
- Middle ear issues or hearing loss
- Blood sugar fluctuations in diabetic patients
