Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) and Lyme Disease

Understanding Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, most commonly transmitted through tick bites. If not identified and treated early, Lyme disease can be associated with persistent or recurrent symptoms that may affect joints, the nervous system, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

Lyme disease is a medically recognised condition that requires diagnosis and management by qualified healthcare professionals. Treatment plans vary between individuals and may involve antibiotics, symptom management, and specialist follow-up care.

Alongside medical treatment, some individuals choose to explore wellbeing-focused approaches as part of their broader personal health routines.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing high-concentration oxygen inside a pressurised chamber. Under increased atmospheric pressure, oxygen dissolves more readily into the bloodstream and body fluids, increasing overall systemic oxygen availability.

At OxyHealthCare®, HBOT sessions are offered solely as non-medical wellbeing sessions. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, manage, or prevent Lyme disease or any other medical condition.

Research & Further Reading (Informational Only)

HBOT is an active area of scientific research in infection-related conditions, inflammation, and neurological health. The following studies are provided for educational purposes only and do not demonstrate clinical efficacy for Lyme disease:
