  • Lingering pain & inflammation – Chronic conditions take a toll on daily life
  • Weaker immune system – More prone to illness and slower healing
  • Lower energy levels – Struggling to keep up with daily activities

Why Chamber Pressure Matters: The "Soft Chamber" Myth

Not all Hyperbaric Therapy is the same. To heal brain tissue, fight infection, or grow new blood vessels, physics dictates you must reach pressures of 2.0 ATA or higher breathing 100% oxygen.

Soft/Mild" Chambers (Spas)

  • Reach only 1.3 ATA. They are comparable to an oxygen bar. They cannot dissolve enough oxygen into the plasma to trigger neuroplasticity.

CNS Medical Chambers

  • Our hard-shell chambers reach 2.0 - 3.0 ATA. This is the only pressure level clinically proven to treat radiation injury, severe wounds, and neurological conditions.

Warning

  • If a facility does not have a physician on-site, they are likely using "soft" or air pressurized chambers that cannot deliver medical results

The CNS Difference

Not all hyperbaric chambers are created equal. While soft chambers or non-medical chambers might be used in wellness or fitness centers, medical-grade chambers like ours are clinically proven to provide superior therapeutic benefits. Here's why:

Higher Oxygen Levels

  • Our medical chambers use 100% oxygen, which is essential for the healing process. Soft chambers or non-medical models typically deliver only 21% oxygen, which doesn't offer the same therapeutic power.

Pressurization

  • Our chambers operate at higher pressure levels, allowing oxygen to dissolve into the bloodstream at a far greater rate than in lower-pressure environments. This enhanced oxygen saturation is critical for healing, tissue regeneration, and overall recovery.

Medical Supervision

  • At CNS, all of our HBOT treatments are conducted under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals. This ensures that your therapy is both safe and tailored to meet your individual needs. Non-medical chambers are often not overseen by licensed medical personnel, meaning they may not offer the same level of care or safety.

Proven Medical Benefits

  • Medical-grade chambers are designed to treat a wide range of medical conditions, from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and neurological disorders to chronic pain, infections, and wound healing. Soft chambers, on the other hand, are typically used for general wellness purposes and lack the clinical applications of medical chambers.
Patient Review
I highly recommend Lakeshore Hyperbaric! We came here for treatment for our mother, and Dr Cohen spent a tremendous amount of time with us explaining everything as well as answering all of our questions. We have just completed our 1st of 8 weeks of therapy. All of the therapist are caring and attentive. We look forward to the rest of our sessions and the benefits it is having on our mom already.

Your Brain Cannot Wait.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that enhances the body's natural healing process by delivering 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. At Lakeshore Hyperbaric Center, in partnership with CNS, we provide advanced medical hyperbaric therapy for a range of neurological, vascular, and post-surgical conditions.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen help Long COVID?

Long COVID symptoms often stem from neuro-inflammation and hypoxia (oxygen starvation) in the brain. HBOT forces high levels of oxygen into the tissue to reduce inflammation, repair damaged mitochondria, and "wake up" idling neurons responsible for brain fog.

How many sessions are required for recovery?

While every patient is different, neuroplasticity protocols typically require 20 to 40 sessions to create lasting change in brain tissue. Sporadic sessions are generally not effective for chronic Long COVID.

Will insurance cover HBOT for Long COVID?

Currently, HBOT is considered "off-label" for Long COVID and is typically not covered by insurance. We offer competitive medical packages for patients seeking this treatment.

Patient Review
I’ve been looking for an actual hyperbaric company for so long for a concession! I finally found Lakeshore Hyperbaric and have been there 7 times already. My concussion and symptoms have greatly improved and I am feeling much more like myself again. I feel comfortable coming here because they are certified and have real glass chambers. I’ve tried the other “places” but they aren’t actually real chambers nor certified, which is an expensive waste of time. So happy to have met Dr Cohen and his wonderful staff. 10/10 recommend this place. Bonus - they have Netflix for me to catch up on my shows while in the chamber.
