Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The Northport Wellness Center is proud to support Hyperbaric Medical Solutions (HMS), an independent provider of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), to individuals who seek to maximize their performance, reach a more optimal state of health, and resolve health challenges they are experiencing.
HMS has three New York locations in Woodbury, Lake Success and New York City, which is the first established free-standing facility in Manhattan to provide hard chamber HBOT. HMS has one location in Boston, Massachusetts. The expansion of HMS has taken place in South Florida with an existing facility in Fort Lauderdale and a new location recently established in Miami.
The Northport Wellness Center also has four low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers that are currently being used by patients who wish to improve and/or enhance their health and wellness.
Hyperbaric Medical Solutions' New York locations are in-network for most major insurance plans; HMS Fort Lauderdale is currently out-of-network, but is in the process of credentialing with local plans.
Every cell in the body needs oxygen for the growth, repair, and preservation of cellular functioning. Oxygen is our most essential nutrient, crucial for proper and efficient healing of most injuries.
HBOT is a non-invasive, generally painless, and effective medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by providing pure 100% oxygen to a patient in a chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. This flood of oxygen to the system creates an environment for healing without debilitating side effects.
Every patient is unique and individually evaluated according to his/her condition and response to therapy to determine the number of treatments needed. The average patient typically requires 30-40 treatments, each lasting approximately 60-90 minutes.
There are currently 14 conditions for which the FDA has approved the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the U.S. However, physicians and researchers have discovered numerous “non-covered” uses for HBOT that are backed by science and experience, which physicians, including those at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, prescribe when appropriate. In fact, worldwide, HBOT is commonly used to treat over 60 medical conditions.
Consultations are covered by insurance. We encourage you to make an appointment today. Click here to learn more about how HBOT may help you achieve optimal health.
