How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

HBOT is an evidence-based treatment that harnesses the power of pressurized oxygen to accelerate healing at the cellular level.

Patient receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment
1

Pressurized Oxygen Delivery

Patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen in a pressurized chamber, typically at 2.0 to 2.4 atmospheres absolute (ATA). This increases plasma oxygen concentration by 10-15 times normal levels.

2

Enhanced Tissue Perfusion

Oxygen-rich plasma penetrates compromised tissues, bypassing damaged vasculature. This restores aerobic metabolism and supports cellular energy production in ischemic areas.

3

Physiological Healing Cascade

HBOT stimulates angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and stem cell mobilization. It also enhances leukocyte oxidative killing and reduces edema through vasoconstriction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and OHIP coverage at TAP HBOT.

Yes. TAP HBOT is an OHIP-approved provider. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is fully insured for six specific medical conditions: Chronic Refractory Osteomyelitis, Diabetic Lower Extremity Wounds, Failed Skin Grafts and Flaps, Radiation Tissue Damage, Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss, and Thermal Burns. If you have a valid Ontario Health Card and meet medical necessity criteria, you pay nothing for treatment.
No referral is required for your initial consultation at TAP HBOT. Our OHIP-approved physicians can assess your condition directly and determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy is medically appropriate. However, if you have a referring physician, we welcome their input and will coordinate care with your existing healthcare team.
Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes. You'll lie comfortably in our pressurized chamber while breathing 100% oxygen through a mask or hood. The pressure change feels similar to ascending or descending in an airplane—ear pressure equalization is normal. Many patients read, listen to music, or rest during treatment. Our trained technologists monitor you throughout via intercom and video.
Treatment protocols vary by condition. Most patients require between 20-40 daily sessions, Monday through Friday. Diabetic wounds typically need 30-40 sessions, while radiation damage may require 20-30. Sudden hearing loss is time-sensitive and usually treated with 10-20 sessions. Your TAP HBOT physician will establish a personalized protocol based on your specific diagnosis and response to therapy.
TAP HBOT operates five convenient locations across Ontario: York/Newmarket (serving the GTA north), Brampton (Peel Region), Sudbury (Northeastern Ontario), Champagne (Ottawa Valley), and Barrie (Central Ontario). All locations offer the same OHIP-covered services and hospital-grade equipment. Contact our Care Coordinators to find your nearest clinic and check availability.
