About Hyperbaric Centers of Chicago

Staff at the Hyperbaric Centers of Chicago office in Deerfield, IL

Hyperbaric Centers of Chicago (HCC) provides on-label and off-label hyperbaric oxygen therapy. HCC was founded in 2013 in recognition of the intense local demand for both on-label and off-label hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We use the most modern mono-place hyperbaric chambers.

HBOT is medically approved for several conditions, and is also effective for many off-label conditions. Natural oxygen is a powerful healing agent, and hyperbaric chambers deliver 100% oxygen to the pulmonary system. Where traditional treatment fails, and the patient's depression or pain is "treatment resistant". Hyperbaric oxygen can help identify the reason treatment of injury to the nervous system isn't working.

About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Exposure to the hyperbaric oxygen environment facilitates detoxification; when we take the toxic load from the equation, healing is accelerated. The mechanical effects of pressure cause an immediate reduction in edema (swelling). Edema prevents oxygenation of insult sites; so by reducing edema, we get a dramatic increase in blood flow, and super-oxygenation of the insult site, which promotes healing.

After about 15 minutes (on oxygen) at treatment depth/pressure, the body experiences “total gas washout”, which means that all of the nitrogen has been eliminated from every cell in the body, and has been replaced by oxygen.

It is possible to measure shifts in the dissolved oxygen (at the cellular level) at 15-20 times what could be achieved by breathing oxygen at the surface (atmospheric pressure). This massive shift in dissolved oxygen at the cellular level will kill any obligate anaerobic bacteria.

In cases where neurons in the brain have been damaged (stroke or concussion), hyperbaric therapy has been proven to reduce the size and scope of the penumbra. When we shrink the penumbra, we activate idling neurons. These idling neurons can be “re-trained” to perform their original function.
