Breathing Pure Oxygen Under Controlled Pressure
Hyperbaric Chamber in Lauderhill for tissue oxygenation and healing support in wounds, neurological conditions, and recovery
Colonics & Lymphatic Detox Center operates a sealed pressurized chamber in Lauderhill where you breathe pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure, a process known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. You sit or lie inside the chamber during sessions that deliver oxygen to tissues even when blood supply is compromised. This therapy addresses specific conditions ranging from non-healing diabetic ulcers to radiation-damaged tissue after cancer treatment, and sessions run one hour at a time with pricing structured for single visits or weekly packages.
The increased pressure forces oxygen into plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and areas where red blood cells struggle to reach, stimulating new blood vessel growth and enhancing white blood cell activity against certain infections. Sessions create an oxygen-rich environment that inhibits anaerobic bacteria, the kind responsible for gangrene, while boosting antibiotic effectiveness in your system.
Schedule an initial consultation to review your medical history and determine whether hyperbaric therapy aligns with your recovery goals.
What Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Actually Accomplishes
The chamber operates at pressures measured in atmospheres absolute, typically between 1.3 and 3.0 ATA depending on the condition being addressed, with sessions monitored for ear and sinus equalization as pressure changes. The FDA has approved this therapy for decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, severe anemia, gas gangrene, and certain chronic wounds, though many facilities also use it for neurological support after stroke or traumatic brain injury where research shows potential for reducing brain swelling.
After completing a series of sessions, you typically notice wound edges that begin closing where they previously remained open, reduced fatigue as mitochondrial function improves, and in some cases decreased inflammation markers when measured through lab work. Colonics & Lymphatic Detox Center structures treatment in either single hour-long sessions at $150 or weekly packages at $500, allowing you to commit based on how your body responds to initial treatments.
The therapy does not guarantee outcomes for every condition, and risks include temporary ear or sinus discomfort, vision changes that resolve after treatment, and rarely lung complications if protocols are not followed. Sessions require medical clearance for certain conditions, particularly untreated pneumothorax or specific medications that react poorly to high-pressure oxygen environments.
Questions Before Starting Hyperbaric Sessions
Clients in Lauderhill often ask practical questions about chamber sessions, particularly regarding preparation and what to expect during pressurization.
What happens during the pressurization phase?
You feel a sensation similar to ascending in an airplane, and you equalize ear pressure by yawning, swallowing, or gently blowing with your nose pinched, which prevents discomfort as atmospheric pressure inside the chamber increases.
How does oxygen delivery differ from breathing room air?
Room air contains roughly 21 percent oxygen at normal pressure, while hyperbaric therapy delivers up to 100 percent oxygen at pressures two to three times higher, forcing oxygen to dissolve directly into blood plasma rather than relying solely on hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Why do diabetic ulcers respond to this treatment?
Poor circulation in diabetic patients means wound sites receive inadequate oxygen for healing, and hyperbaric therapy bypasses compromised blood vessels by saturating plasma with oxygen that reaches tissue through diffusion rather than standard vascular pathways.
When should sessions be scheduled for radiation tissue damage?
Treatment typically begins after radiation therapy concludes and damage becomes apparent, often several months post-treatment when tissue fails to heal normally, and protocols usually require 20 to 40 sessions depending on severity and tissue response.
What items are prohibited inside the chamber?
Petroleum-based products, battery-operated devices, and anything that could generate sparks must remain outside since pure oxygen under pressure creates a fire hazard, which is why patients wear cotton gowns and remove makeup, lotions, and electronics before entering.
Colonics & Lymphatic Detox Center provides medical intake before your first session to review contraindications and establish whether hyperbaric therapy fits your specific situation. Contact the center at (786) 604-4755 to discuss eligibility and book your initial evaluation.
