Hyperbarics
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized treatment that uses pressurized oxygen to help improve overall health and accelerate healing. This therapy is offered at our medical clinic in Portland, OR, to support various health benefits, including immune modulation, pain relief, cognitive improvement, and more.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Immune Modulation
Time in the chamber can increase your Glutathione by approximately 15%. Glutathione is a part of your immune system that protects your cells and eliminates harmful free radicals in your blood. It also reduces inflammation and increases your body's ability to heal itself from sickness.
Pain & Inflammation
Inflammation blocks blood flow to your body's tissues, causing pain and an inability to heal. This pressurized pure oxygen binds itself to your blood's plasma and carries the oxygen into those inaccessible areas, encouraging new blood vessels to grow while eliminating the pain and inflammation.
Brain & Cognitive Function
Hyperbaric therapy offered at our Medical Clinic in Portland, OR has helped thousands of people increase their cognitive function. There are incredible case studies of significant improvement in brain function of children with autism and people recovering from Tramatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Energy Boosting
Oxygen is the ultimate energy boost and can give you athlete-like stamina. Hyperbaric therapy can increase your lungs and body's capacity to take in oxygen. It can take up to 10 times more oxygen than in normal conditions.
Anti-Aging
Increased oxygen through hyperbaric therapy in Portland, OR encourages the growth of new blood vessels and helps to treat age-related diseases. Along with the increased energy it gives, the hyperbaric chamber sessions can help your both look and feel younger.
Peak Performance
Oxygen is the number one performance ingredient! It reduces muscle fatigue, discourages the build-up of lactic acid, gives you better focus and memory, and boosts your energy. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy will leave you feeling rejuvenated and at the top of your game.

"Dr. K is as passionate about your healing and recovery as you are! I feel lucky to have someone on my team who can break things down from all angles and truly dive into the science of health.

I genuinely believe I’m healing faster than expected thanks to Dr. K and Upgrade Medical. I'm forever grateful I made the decision to invest in my health and longevity."

"Absolutely Amazing!!! I promise that is not a hyperbole. About a week ago, I was circling the drain as I had overtrained in the gym on leg day. My entire body was cramping and starting to lock up to the point that any movement at all was painful or caused more cramps. Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical was a literal godsend; saved my life and a for certain trip to the ER. As a former collegiate athlete, the services and treatment offered at Upgrade Medical is EVERYTHING I’ve missed since playing ball. To be able to access the same or similar recovery treatments has opened up the possibilities for me to be more engaged in my athletic endeavors. Previously I would train and then end up taking 2-4 weeks off to allow my body to recover; with Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical I’m preparing to run my first ever marathon in November. Again, former athlete, so the thought of running distance is absolutely ridiculous and terrifying at the same time, but I’m encouraged knowing there’s a knowledgeable partner to assist me through the journey. As someone who’s spent over 1/2 their lives inside the gym or training for sport I couldn’t began to recommend the services and attention you get at Upgrade Medical. I’d seriously recommend for everyone, rather you’re a beginner in the fitness world, or a seasoned athlete pursuing new goals. I honestly feel as locked in as I did when playing football in college, I know and feel confident in the idea that I can push my in the training realm while having expertise and genuine care in the recovery process in Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical."
