How Do I Get Started?
If you are ready to get started on your healing journey, the next step would be a phone call with our founder. Email Dr. Sue at drsue@hyperbaricnorthwest.com, text 503-799-9738 or call and leave a message and your call will be returned within 24 hours. Contact Us Now!
Dr. Sue can then answer your questions and alleviate any concerns.
Depending on availability, the delivery of one of our FDA-approved Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy chambers can then be scheduled.
You will need a fairly large, dedicated space. The chambers are about the size of a tanning bed. You will use a dedicated outlet for the compressor and oxygen concentrator. If you need an extension cord it will need to be heavy duty with a surge protector. The equipment is rather noisy, and some people like to place the concentrator in another room.
Just don’t place the concentrator in a closet with the door closed. To help reduce sound, and to reduce heat buildup, the compressor and O2 concentrator should be raised slightly off the floor. If the chamber is too warm for you during dives, you can place a fan near the compressor or place those reusable freezer packs around it.
Also, wear light clothing. And we have small rechargeable fans to place in the chamber.
A stool or some kind of grab bar next to the chamber makes getting out after dives easier.
