Chronic wounds can stall for weeks, or even months, because damaged tissue isn't getting the oxygen it needs to repair itself. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) changes that by delivering medical-grade oxygen under pressure, allowing oxygen to reach areas with poor circulation and jump-start the healing process.

HBOT helps by:
- Stimulating collagen production
- Growing new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
- Supporting your immune system to fight infection
- Reducing swelling and inflammation

Whether it's a diabetic foot ulcer, radiation tissue injury, a compromised skin graft, or a chronic bone infection, HBOT works from the inside out to help the body heal naturally.

Our newest blog explains the science behind HBOT, who can benefit from it, what the treatment feels like, and why it's become an FDA-approved therapy for complex wounds.

Thinking about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for wellness, recovery, or longevity, but don't have a specific medical condition?

You're not alone. One of the most common questions we get is: "How many HBOT sessions should I do if I'm healthy?"

The answer: consistency matters more than a single session. While some people notice benefits such as improved energy and recovery early on, the most meaningful cellular changes occur over time through a series of treatments.

At Capital Health & Iowa HBOT, we generally recommend completing a minimum of 10 sessions within a few weeks to build a cumulative response and support long-term wellness goals.

Whether you're interested in optimizing energy, supporting recovery, reducing inflammation, or investing in your long-term health, HBOT may be a valuable tool in your wellness routine.

Did you know one study found patients who underwent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) before surgery experienced 74% fewer post-surgical complications?

Most people think about recovery after surgery. But what if you could prepare your body before surgery, too?

HBOT works by increasing oxygen delivery throughout the body, supporting healthy circulation, reducing swelling, promoting tissue repair, and helping optimize the body's natural healing processes.

Many individuals use HBOT as part of their surgical recovery plan to support:
✔️ Reduced swelling
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Healthy wound healing
✔️ Improved tissue oxygenation
✔️ Return to activity sooner

Whether you're planning a joint replacement, orthopedic procedure, cosmetic surgery, or another elective operation, it may be worth exploring how HBOT can fit into your recovery strategy.

What if healing is possible even years after an injury?

We wanted to share this story of Army veteran Michael Merzke, who spent more than 20 years living with the effects of a blast-related traumatic brain injury. Chronic migraines, memory challenges, and cognitive changes became part of daily life. When searching for therapies to support his son Colin, who has cerebral palsy, Michael discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and decided to try it himself.

Over the course of treatment, Michael experienced significant improvements in his migraines, recovery, and overall quality of life. His son also showed meaningful progress in movement and engagement.

Stories like Michael's are why we're passionate about bringing HBOT to Iowa.

At Capital Health & Iowa HBOT, we work with individuals seeking support for recovery, neurological health, wellness, performance, and overall quality of life. Every person's journey is unique, and we're here to help determine whether HBOT may be a good fit for your goals.
