Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

This facility accepts “off-label” patients for hyperbaric therapy. They can also manage the larger athletic body with a bigger chamber. If you prefer a walk-in chamber, the closest facility is in Sarasota.

From 2010, Dr. Rhee was the appointed Chiropractor and Active Release Techniques Master Practitioner for Walter Dix, a well-known American Track and Field Olympian. Prior to being under Dr. Rhee’s care, Mr. Dix had been struggling with a plethora of injuries for several years. The main goal for the level of care rendered was for Mr. Dix to be injury free during the World Championship in 2011. While Mr. Dix was also under the careful training of Coach Rey Robinson, Dr. Rhee helped Mr. Dix earn 1st place in both the 100-meter and 200-meter run at the USA Track and Field Championship (Eugene, Oregon). Furthermore, also in 2011, at the World Championship in Daegu, South Korea, Dr. Rhee traveled with Mr. Dix to be his medical personnel. Mr. Dix received two silver medals in the Korean 100-meter and 200-meter races. Most importantly, Walter Dix remained injury free throughout every win of 2011 under the care of Dr. Rhee. Walter Dix is currently treating under Dr. Rhee’s care to prepare for the 2016 Olympics.

Oxygen Oasis Hyperbaric Wellness Center was founded by a wife and husband team – Victoria Bliss-Calkins and Tom Calkins after witnessing first-hand the healing power that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers.

The Calkins’ were introduced to HBOT on a personal level when searching for treatment options for the radiation injury that occurred after Tom underwent treatment for stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil. After completing hyperbaric therapy for delayed radiation injury, Tom regained flexibility in his neck and reduced the frequency of the muscle spasms he endured after his surgery. They felt a calling to help others to find the same ray of hope they found in hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Because Oxygen Oasis Hyperbaric Wellness Center is a free-standing facility, we have the opportunity to treat a spectrum of conditions that may be improved by HBOT including, but not limited to autism, cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, multiple sclerosis, lyme disease, spinal cord injury, near drowning, fibromyalgia, migraines, sports injuries, pre and post cosmetic surgery and certain cancers, as well as non-healing wounds, radiation injury, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

The large space enables you to stand, sit or lie down easily within the chamber. For those who are reluctant to have hyperbaric therapy because of confinement fears, we offer a program that will gradually prepare you to undergo therapy confidently.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a safe, non-invasive way to promote healing and recovery in patients of all ages by saturating the body’s cells with pure oxygen through the use of a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. The therapy involves being in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen.
