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.

What our customers say
"Dr K has been exceptional and I am so thankful for all his efforts in helping me get my health in check. I feel so much better now than I did last year before coming to Upgrade Medical!"
Cecilia L. | May 2025
"As a lifelong fitness enthusiast/athlete, and a 48yr old whom works in the industry as a group fitness instructor in multiple formats, my body is constantly battered and broken. I was looking for recovery alternatives besides my own heating pad/ice packs, and didn’t want to take more Rx meds than I already was. Upgrade Medical, and Chris, or Dr.K, as some call him, owns and operates a facility that’s provide a variety of recovery style equipment and medical gadgets that have played a big role in my chronic pain management, as well as my daily aches and pains as an athlete, allowing me to recovery quicker and just feel better in both mind and body, to allow me to continue pushing forward, at age 48, in my career in fitness. My current “routine” at Upgrade 3x a week, consists of red light therapy, PEMF, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nitrogen therapy, along with cupping treatments coupled w/targeted Cryotherapy. I know it may sound like a lot, and it is, but when your body is your tool, I’m willing to put in the time to allow my body to continue to do what I am so passionate about…fitness! Sidenote- ALL of these treatments/therapies,(and more!), are included in my monthly membership! If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, and are willing to commit the time to “keep in the game” as an aging athlete, the monthly memberships are the way to go."

Yascha N. | Apr 2025
"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. His holistic, multi-system approach is a breath of fresh air. The services offered at Upgrade Medical were exactly what I needed to recover from my complex and rare neurological disorder. 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."
Christa R. | Mar 2025
"Im extremely happy with my visit with Dr K! He's very knowledgeable, took his time addressing my issues and went over what he thought would work best for me. I felt like he went out of his way for me as patient and that is very rare these days. I highly recommend him!"
