Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by delivering oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure — enough to saturate plasma, tissues, and fluids that red blood cells can't reach under normal conditions. That elevated oxygen concentration supports cellular repair, may reduce inflammatory signaling, and is used to support healing at the tissue level.

It's not a recovery trend. It's applied physiology, used clinically for decades and increasingly integrated into performance and longevity medicine.

At Lake Avenue Wellness, HBOT is physician-supervised and integrated into your broader recovery or health program — not offered as a standalone session and left at that.

Why Physician Oversight Matters Here

HBOT is effective when it’s matched to your clinical picture. Pressure levels, session duration, and protocol frequency all affect outcomes — and the wrong approach for the wrong condition produces poor results at best.

At Lake Avenue Wellness, every HBOT protocol is physician-supervised, integrated with your labs and your recovery plan, and adjusted based on how your body responds. Not a session count and a waiver.

How It Works

  • Consultation: physician evaluates history, symptoms, goals; determines fit and integration with existing programs.
  • Protocol Design: pressure, duration, frequency set by clinical picture; coordinated with any existing LAW program.
  • Ongoing Assessment: response monitored, protocol adjusted as body responds and goals evolve.

What Patients Often Notice

  • Patients often report faster recovery from injury and training
  • Reduced inflammation and pain levels over the course of treatment
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Greater mental clarity
  • More consistent energy
  • Improved tissue resilience over time
Individual results vary. HBOT is used as part of a physician-supervised treatment plan, not as a standalone intervention with guaranteed outcomes.

Your first conversation is on us.

Your first visit starts with whether HBOT is actually the right fit for what you're dealing with. We'll go through your symptoms, your history, and what a protocol would look like for your situation.

If it makes sense, we'll outline next steps. If it doesn't, you'll leave knowing that — no pressure, no guesswork.


Common questions about Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy used for?

HBOT is used to support recovery from soft tissue and tendon injuries that have stalled, reduce chronic inflammation, aid post-surgical healing, and support cellular repair and mitochondrial function in longevity and performance programs.

At Lake Avenue Wellness in Wilmette, it’s also used alongside peptide protocols for patients in active recovery programs. The common thread is supporting the body’s repair systems when they need a clinical push.

You’ll be seated or reclined comfortably in a pressurized chamber for the duration of the session — typically 60 to 90 minutes depending on your protocol. The chamber gradually pressurizes, you breathe normally throughout, and the increased atmospheric pressure is what delivers oxygen at therapeutic concentrations to tissues that can’t be reached under normal conditions.

Most patients find it comfortable and use the time to rest or decompress.

In the right clinical context, yes — and that’s exactly the point. HBOT isn’t dangerous when it’s matched to the right patient by a physician who has reviewed their history. Contraindications include certain lung conditions, recent ear surgery, active ear or sinus infections, claustrophobia, and some medications.

At Lake Avenue Wellness, every HBOT protocol is physician-supervised. We review your full clinical picture before recommending anything — not after.

That depends on what you’re treating and how your body responds. Injury recovery and inflammation protocols typically run in structured courses — often 10 to 20 sessions — with response monitored throughout.

Longevity and performance applications may be used on a more ongoing or maintenance basis. Your physician will outline what makes sense for your situation at your consultation.

Yes — and it’s often most effective as part of a broader plan. Patients in peptide therapy programs frequently combine HBOT with peptide protocols for tissue repair and inflammation support.

Patients in hormone or metabolic programs use it to support recovery and cellular health as part of their overall plan. Your physician coordinates everything rather than treating HBOT as a standalone service.

Call 847.906.0222 or book online to schedule a consultation — we’ll determine whether HBOT is appropriate for your situation before scheduling any sessions.

Yes — with important nuance. HBOT has strong clinical evidence for specific applications: wound healing, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain infections.

Evidence for performance and longevity applications is growing and used in physician-supervised contexts, though it’s less established than the wound-healing evidence base.

At Lake Avenue Wellness, we don’t promise outcomes. We use HBOT as one clinical tool within a physician-supervised plan, matched to your specific situation and monitored throughout.
