Discover the Healing Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Aletheia Integrative in Lincoln, NE

If you’ve been struggling with chronic pain, slow-healing wounds, or lingering fatigue that no doctor seems to understand—there’s a revolutionary healing tool right here in Lincoln, Nebraska that could change everything: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

At Aletheia Integrative, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is more than just a medical service—it’s a transformative experience that uses something your body already needs—oxygen—to fuel deep, lasting recovery.

Let’s explore what HBOT is, how it works, who can benefit from it, and why Aletheia Integrative is the only clinic in Lincoln uniquely positioned to deliver this advanced healing therapy with a personalized, integrative approach.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% pure medical-grade oxygen in a sealed, pressurized chamber. This pressure—much higher than you experience in day-to-day life—allows your lungs to absorb dramatically more oxygen than normal.

That oxygen is then delivered by your blood to the deepest parts of your body—tissues, muscles, bones, and organs—to speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and fight infection.

It’s like flipping the body’s internal switch from “survive” to “repair.”

While oxygen is something we all take for granted, few people realize that at higher concentrations, it becomes an incredibly powerful medical tool. And that’s exactly what HBOT provides.

How Does HBOT Work?

Here’s the simple version: more oxygen = better healing.

But let’s break that down a bit.

In a hyperbaric chamber, air pressure is raised to two to three times normal levels. This forces your lungs to absorb more oxygen than they ever could under regular conditions. Your red blood cells aren’t the only ones transporting oxygen—your plasma gets oxygen-rich too.

This super-oxygenated blood can:

Reach damaged tissue that may have limited blood flow
Fight off infection by supporting white blood cell activity
Trigger stem cell release, aiding regeneration
Speed up healing for wounds, injuries, and inflammation

At Aletheia Integrative, your HBOT session typically lasts around 90 minutes. You’ll be inside a comfortable chamber, where you can rest, meditate, listen to music, or even nap. The sensation may feel similar to flying in an airplane—your ears might pop as pressure builds.

Afterward, many patients report feeling deeply relaxed, sometimes even energized. Some feel slightly drowsy for a short time—that’s totally normal.

Conditions Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Help With

While HBOT was once limited to hospitals treating emergency issues like decompression sickness or carbon monoxide poisoning, it’s now widely used to treat a variety of chronic and acute health conditions, including:

1. Non-Healing Wounds

People with diabetes or circulatory issues often develop wounds that refuse to heal. HBOT increases oxygen levels at the wound site, reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue growth.

2. Post-Surgical Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps reduce swelling, bruising, and the risk of infection after surgery. It’s also used by elite athletes and biohackers to bounce back quickly from cosmetic procedures, orthopedic surgeries, and even dental work.

3. Chronic Fatigue & Brain Fog

Low oxygen levels can contribute to persistent fatigue and mental fog. HBOT reoxygenates the brain and body, leading many patients to experience sharper mental clarity and more sustained energy.

4. Infections That Won’t Go Away

From Lyme disease co-infections to stubborn bone or skin infections, HBOT is a powerful antimicrobial tool that boosts your immune system’s natural ability to fight back.

5. Sports Injuries & Muscle Recovery

Torn ligaments, sprains, and chronic inflammation don’t just slow you down—they can lead to long-term damage. HBOT accelerates muscle recovery and reduces downtime, helping you stay active and pain-free.

6. Burns, Grafts, and Skin Damage

HBOT supports new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), allowing faster healing of skin tissue damaged by burns, wounds, or post-surgical grafts.

7. Neurological Issues

Though still emerging, studies suggest HBOT may offer therapeutic value for traumatic brain injuries (TBI), post-concussion syndrome, stroke recovery, and even neurodegenerative diseases.

What Makes Aletheia Integrative Different?

There are very few clinics in the U.S.—and only one in Lincoln, NE—that offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the context of a full integrative medicine approach.

Led by Dr. Jaime K. Dodge, Aletheia Integrative doesn’t just treat symptoms—they look at the full picture of your health. This includes your history, lifestyle, nutrition, and root causes of inflammation or illness.

So rather than offering HBOT as a one-off treatment, Aletheia may pair it with:

IV nutrient therapy
Health coaching and lifestyle support
Detoxification protocols
Hormone balance therapies
Red light therapy
Peptide therapy
Functional lab testing

The result is a comprehensive healing plan that helps your body regenerate from the inside out—using both modern science and natural principles.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?

Yes. HBOT is FDA-approved for several conditions and considered extremely safe when administered in a controlled setting like Aletheia’s clinic. The staff ensures that every treatment session is monitored and customized to suit your health history and goals.

That said, like any therapy, it’s not for everyone. You should let the Aletheia team know if you:

Have a pacemaker or implanted medical devices
Take certain medications (especially chemotherapy drugs)
Have a history of lung disease or untreated pneumothorax

This is exactly why every patient undergoes a detailed intake and consultation before starting HBOT.

What to Expect During an HBOT Session at Aletheia

Here’s how a typical session looks:

Pre-Treatment Intake – You’ll review your medical history with a clinician and ask any questions.
Chamber Prep – You’ll be guided into the chamber, made comfortable, and briefed on what to expect.
Pressure Buildup – The chamber will slowly increase in pressure, similar to airplane takeoff. You may feel your ears pop.
Oxygen Immersion – For 60–90 minutes, you’ll breathe 100% oxygen while relaxing or meditating.
Pressure Reduction – The pressure will slowly return to normal—again, ears may adjust like landing a plane.
Aftercare – You may feel relaxed, sleepy, or calm. Some people even feel more energized within hours.

Some patients benefit from a single session. Others complete a full series (5, 10, 20+ sessions) depending on their condition and health goals.

What Does HBOT Cost?

The cost of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy varies depending on the length of your session and the number of treatments needed. While insurance may cover HBOT for specific, FDA-approved conditions (like diabetic wounds or carbon monoxide poisoning), it typically doesn’t cover wellness applications like fatigue, post-op recovery, or neurological support.

Still, many patients consider it an investment in long-term health—especially those who’ve struggled to find relief through conventional treatments.

Why Oxygen Is the Missing Piece for So Many People

Here’s what most people don’t realize: oxygen isn't just fuel—it’s medicine.

We often forget that healing is a full-body process. If your tissues are inflamed, if your cells are starved of nutrients, or if your circulation is impaired—your body simply can’t do its job.

HBOT doesn’t mask symptoms. It gives your body what it needs to repair, rebuild, and restore itself.

And for patients at Aletheia Integrative, that means:

Faster healing
Less inflammation
Better energy
Sharper mental clarity
And most importantly—hope
