Therapies / Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Uses increased pressure to enhance oxygen absorption in blood and bodily fluids.
Overview
This therapy may be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with personalized treatment plans for a variety of conditions, including 13 conditions** officially recognized by Health Canada.
Originally HBOT was invented to treat decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning, however since it has been adapted to treat a wide range of medical conditions, many of them neurological. At Revivo Neurology Treatment Centre, we also use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a supplement to Suit Therapy as well as to traditional physiotherapy (PT) and speech language pathology (SLP).”
Our HBOT prices start at just $79 per hour (most places charge over 250)!
Exact cost of the programme you’d opt for depends on the number of sessions in your booked package and the duration of each session.
Read our publications on how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be beneficial for some of the medical conditions listed on the right hand side of this page. Should you get interested in obtaining more information on HBOT research and how it could help with your specific condition, please contact us and we’ll do our best to provide you with extra guidance.

Unlock New Pathways to Recovery
Our advanced HBOT solutions are designed to enhance tissue oxygenation, promote healing, and stimulate circulation for exceptional health outcomes.
Increased Oxygen Delivery
Increases oxygen in plasma, improving tissue oxygenation.
Enhanced Healing Environment
Aids healing by delivering extra oxygen to damaged tissues.
Improved Antibiotic Efficacy
Increases the effectiveness of certain antibiotics, aiding in infection control.
Stimulated Angiogenesis
Stimulates new blood vessel growth, enhancing circulation.
Reduced Inflammation
May help decrease inflammation, contributing to overall healing.
Support for Chronic Wounds
Effective in treating chronic non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers.
How Soon Does It Produce Results
Typically, some improvement could be observed after 10 sessions of 60-90 minutes each, particularly improvement of sleep. More evident results are observed after 40-60 treatments, depending on severity of the condition treated.

Risks and Side Effects
Seizure
A very small risk of seizure exists when using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Such risk could be minimized if lower pressures are used and session times are shortened to 45 minutes instead of 60 minutes.
Ear Pain
Some patients experience ear pain, similar to feelings experienced during descent in an airplane. Ear pain symptoms could easily be reduced by yawning and swallowing in order to equalize the pressure in the ear drum.
Eye Changes
HBOT may cause temporary near-sightedness, and may accelerate cataract development.
Conditions Treatable by HBOT:
- embolisms (air or gas bubbles in the bloodstream, which may travel to the brain or lungs)
- carbon monoxide poisoning (from inhaling smoke or car exhaust)
- gas gangrene
- crush injury, Compartment Syndrome and other acute traumatic problems where blood flow is reduced or cut off (e.g., frostbite)
- decompression sickness (the bends)
- enhancement of healing for wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers
- exceptional blood loss (anemia)
- intracranial abscess (an accumulation of pus in the brain)
- necrotizing soft tissue infections (flesh-eating disease)
- osteomyelitis (bone infection)
- delayed radiation injury (e.g., radiation burns that develop after cancer therapy)
- skin grafts and flaps that are not healing well
- thermal burns (e.g., from fire or electrical sources)
