Best HBOT in Florida!

Why Patients Choose Us
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive medical treatment in which a patient breathes 100% pure oxygen inside a sealed, pressurized chamber at pressures of 1.5 to 3 atmospheres absolute (ATA) — up to three times normal atmospheric pressure. This dramatically increases the amount of oxygen dissolved directly into blood plasma, reaching tissues, organs, and bone that normal circulation cannot adequately oxygenate. HBOT is FDA-approved for 14 medical conditions and is widely used off-label for 50+ additional indications under physician supervision. According to research published in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed Central), hyperbaric oxygen therapy has demonstrated significant therapeutic benefits across a wide range of clinical applications. Each session typically lasts 60 to 120 minutes, and treatment protocols range from 20 to 60 sessions depending on the condition.
What Makes Us Florida's Best HBOT Center
When choosing an HBOT facility, safety and clinical expertise matter more than proximity. Here's why patients travel from across Florida and beyond to receive treatment with us.
Real 3 ATA Medical-Grade Chambers
We operate ASME PVHO, National Board, NFPA, and FDA 510(K) cleared Monoplace and Multiplace chambers capable of full 3 ATA pressure — unlike soft-shell "hyperbaric" spas that reach only 1.3 ATA. Real pressure means real results.
25+ Years of HBOT Expertise
Founder Stephanie Janca Davis brings over 25 years of hands-on hyperbaric clinical experience, having completed 60,000+ treatments. She is a nationally recognized HBOT consultant who trains technicians and pre-med students across the country.
Physician-Supervised Every Session
All treatments are overseen by Medical Director Dr. Stephen M. Strait, DO. Every patient receives written physician orders and a personalized protocol — not just a technician running a machine.
100% Medical-Grade Oxygen
We use 100% medical-grade oxygen with oil-less/oil-free breathing air compressors and Sea-Long Hoods, 100% cotton scrubs — zero shortcuts that compromise your safety or therapeutic outcome.
Monoplace & Multiplace Options
Choose between individual monoplace chambers or our multiplace chamber — where two patients can be treated simultaneously at a discounted rate. Flexibility in comfort and budget tailored to your needs.
Open 7 Days, 9 AM – 7 PM
We close only on major holidays. Our flexible daily schedule accommodates working patients, families traveling for treatments, and those on intensive multi-session protocols. We're here when you need us.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works
Understanding the science behind HBOT helps you appreciate why it's effective for such a wide range of conditions.
Enter the Pressurized Chamber
You relax inside a sealed monoplace or multiplace hyperbaric chamber wearing 100% cotton garments. The chamber is gradually pressurized to 1.5–3 ATA using medical-grade oxygen.
Breathe 100% Pure Oxygen
Under increased pressure, your lungs absorb far more oxygen than at normal atmospheric conditions. Oxygen dissolves directly into blood plasma — bypassing red blood cells entirely.
Oxygen Reaches Damaged Tissue
Oxygen-rich plasma penetrates bone, inflamed tissue, and areas with poor circulation. This triggers angiogenesis, reduces inflammation, and mobilizes stem cells from bone marrow.
Healing Accelerates Over Sessions
Therapeutic benefits build cumulatively over 20–60 sessions. Your medical team monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol to maximize recovery for your specific condition.
HBOT for 60+ Medical Conditions in Florida
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by flooding the body with high-concentration oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure — a mechanism that supports healing across a remarkably wide range of diagnoses. Whether your condition is neurological, infectious, musculoskeletal, or related to wound healing, our physician-supervised protocols are tailored to your specific needs.
These conditions have been formally approved by the FDA for HBOT treatment and may qualify for Medicare or private insurance reimbursement when deemed medically necessary — with written physician orders and prior authorization.
Many of the conditions below are treated off-label — meaning substantial clinical research and real-world outcomes support HBOT, but formal FDA approval is still pending. All off-label treatments are administered under direct physician supervision with written orders from our Medical Director, Dr. Stephen M. Strait, DO.

Monoplace vs. Multiplace Hyperbaric Chambers
Hyperbaric Centers of Florida is one of the few Florida clinics equipped with both real 3 ATA monoplace and multiplace chambers — not soft-shell alternatives.
| Feature | Monoplace Chamber | Multiplace Chamber |
|---|---|---|
| Patients per session | 1 patient | 2+ patients simultaneously |
| Maximum pressure | Up to 3 ATA | Up to 3 ATA |
| Oxygen delivery | 100% O₂ fills entire chamber | 100% O₂ via hood/mask |
| Privacy | Complete privacy | Shared with companion/family |
| Cost | Standard rate | Discount for 2 persons |
| Certification | ASME PVHO, FDA 510(K) | ASME PVHO, FDA 510(K) |
| Best for | Individual treatment preference, maximum focused care | Families, couples, or patients who prefer company during sessions |
Important: Soft-shell "hyperbaric" chambers sold online max out at 1.3 ATA and do not deliver true therapeutic HBOT. All Hyperbaric Centers of Florida chambers are hard-shell, medical-grade systems reaching 3 ATA.
What to Expect During HBOT at Our Florida Clinic
Free Consultation & Medical Review
Our hyperbaric consultant and Medical Director review your health history, conditions, and goals. You'll receive written physician orders tailored to your diagnosis before any treatment begins.
Preparation & Safety Briefing
You change into 100% cotton scrubs provided by our clinic. No jewelry, cosmetics, hairspray, or flammable items allowed. Our staff explains every step so you feel completely comfortable.
Inside the Chamber (60–120 Minutes)
As pressure builds, you may feel mild ear fullness — similar to descending in an airplane. You can rest, watch TV, or simply relax. Staff monitors you throughout the entire session.
Gradual Decompression & Exit
The chamber slowly depressurizes. Most patients feel refreshed and energized after treatment. You can drive and resume normal activities immediately after each session.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring
Your team tracks outcomes after each session and adjusts pressure, duration, and frequency as needed. Most patients notice cumulative improvements after 10–20 sessions.
Safety Guidelines & What to Bring
- Wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing (100% cotton provided)
- Continue all existing medications unless directed otherwise by Dr. Strait
- Diabetic patients: eat a normal meal and monitor blood sugar before sessions
- Avoid smoking before and during your treatment protocol
- No makeup, hairspray, perfume, or jewelry inside the chamber
- HBOT is not recommended if you currently have a cold, flu, or ear infection
- You may drive and return to normal activities immediately after each session
Side effects are rare and mild
Temporary ear pressure, slight fatigue, or mild sinus discomfort may occur. Serious complications are extremely rare in certified, physician-supervised facilities.
