What HBOT actually does
HBOT at Novum delivers concentrated oxygen inside a pressurized chamber so blood carries more oxygen to injured tissues. Increased oxygen levels support cellular repair processes and reduce inflammation at the site of wounds or surgical recovery. The method is non-invasive and works alongside the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
How much benefit a client sees depends on the underlying condition, timing of therapy relative to injury, and baseline health. Clinicians in Ellicott City consider these variables when recommending HBOT and integrate it with other recovery strategies rather than relying on it as a sole intervention.
What to expect during sessions
Sessions at Novum are scheduled for 90 MINUTES. During that time you lie inside a pressurized chamber and breathe concentrated oxygen; staff supervise from outside and confirm you can enter and exit independently from a lying position. Safety and comfort are reviewed before pressurization so the appointment proceeds smoothly.
Each HBOT session is offered at a listed price of $150. Appointments are scheduled to fit local commuters, parents, and professionals near Dorsey's Search and Dorsey Hall. Because demand rises in colder months for immune support and surgical recovery, clients are encouraged to plan sessions around seasonal needs.
Who typically uses HBOT
People recovering from wounds, injuries, or illness who want to support healing and optimize wellness commonly select HBOT. In Ellicott City and nearby communities such as Columbia and Catonsville, clients often include busy commuters and families seeking targeted recovery after procedures or seasonal illnesses.
Not everyone is eligible: clients must be able to independently get in and out of the chamber from a lying position. Novum’s location on the southern edge of Ellicott City offers easy access from Route 29, Route 108 and nearby I-70, convenient for residents across the service area.
