Autism
We Are Cutting Edge
At Hyperbaric and Healing Center, we provide medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy, administered by a team of highly trained physicians and clinical staff with expertise in hyperbaric care.
Our dedication to safety is evident through our use of FDA-approved, medical-grade hyperbaric chambers manufactured by Sechrist Industries in Anaheim, California. These chambers meet or exceed the most up-to-date regulatory safety standards and are designed with an acrylic cylinder to offer a comfortable, non-claustrophobic experience.
Before each patient session, our technicians conduct thorough safety inspections, and they remain present throughout the therapy to ensure your safety and comfort. With our compassionate and knowledgeable staff, you can feel confident that you’re receiving the highest level of care from start to finish. Your safety and well-being are always our top priority.
Can Hyperbarics Help Improve ASD Symptoms
Traditional treatments have often struggled to effectively address the core symptoms of autism. However, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is emerging as a promising non-invasive, non-drug-based option that may help alleviate the effects of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Study on HBOT and Autism Symptoms
HBOT has been shown to reduce inflammation and enhance cognitive functions, providing significant benefits for many individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
In 2009, a significant study involving 56 children aged 2-7 with ASD was conducted. This multi-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial examined the effects of HBOT across six centers. Thirty children received 40 one-hour HBOT sessions over four weeks, while 26 children were given a placebo treatment. At the study’s conclusion, the treatment group showed remarkable improvements, with 80% of participants demonstrating enhanced scores on the physician’s Clinical Global Impression (CGI) for overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, and eye contact. Additionally, there were significant improvements on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), including reductions in irritability, stereotypy, hyperactivity, and enhanced speech.
HBOT is a straightforward treatment that consists of one hour of daily sessions. During these sessions, patients relax in a hyperbaric chamber, where they can either rest or enjoy their favorite movie or TV show, all while receiving elevated levels of oxygen.
Other Conditions That May Benefit From HBOT
Research has highlighted the following advantages of HBOT for managing ASD symptoms:
Enhance Brain Healing and Repair with HBOT:
- Increases oxygen delivery to hypoxic tissues
- Reduces neuroinflammation
- Moderates mitochondrial dysfunction
- Promotes neurogenesis
- Stimulates stem cell proliferation and mobilization
- Reduces seizure frequency
- Activates neuroplasticity
Improve Physical Function with HBOT:
- Promotes receptive and expressive language
- Enhances movement and walking
- Stimulates better eye contact
- Improves gross and fine motor skills
- Improves sensory and cognitive awareness
- Increases attention span and alertness
- Enhances sleep patterns
- Advances social skills and interaction
- Reduces aggression
- Alleviates gastrointestinal issues
- Decreases inflammation
- Enhances nutritional absorption
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Oxygen is a nutrient that every cell in your body requires for optimal function. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized non-invasive treatment for wounds, angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), ad reducing swelling and inflammation, stem cell generation, anti-aging of DNA, and improved infection control.
The patient simply breathes 100% medical-grade oxygen in a chamber at increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT can increase the oxygen concentration in the body by up to 1,200% which aids the body to absorb oxygen in a greater amount and transports it to the blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other body fluids.
Sufficient oxygen content in the affected tissues promote healing and provide relief. HBOT utilizes oxygen, an abundant natural element, to promote the health and healing of the body.
