Medical Acupuncture

Needles are very thin; most feel minimal to no pain. Typical sensations include tingling, warmth, or heaviness.

IV Drips

IV drip delivers nutrients or medication directly to the bloodstream for faster, higher absorption than oral supplements.

IV therapy bypasses digestion by delivering actives directly to the bloodstream, providing higher immediate bioavailability.
About HBOT

At PHRC, HBOT is medical grade. It is a physician-guided treatment where you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber — helping your body heal faster, recover better, and perform at a higher level.

Yes. HBOT is generally safe when administered under proper medical supervision. At PHRC, treatments are physician-led and delivered by certified hyperbaric technicians following strict safety protocols.

Comfortable and relaxing. You may feel light ear pressure (like during a flight), which is easily managed. Most clients rest, play games, or watch shows during the session.
Medical Considerations

  • Rapidly raises oxygen levels in blood and tissues (Hyperoxygenation)
  • Stimulates formation of new blood vessels in damaged tissues (Angiogenesis)
  • Reduces swelling and oxidative stress (Anti-inflammatory effects)
  • Improves white blood cell activity against bacteria (Enhanced immune function)

Medical-grade HBOT may benefit individuals with recovery needs, inflammation, or certain medical conditions. Recognized uses include radiation damage, diabetic/slow-healing wounds, and post-surgery recovery. See full list of established indications →

It may not be suitable for individuals with untreated lung conditions, certain ear problems, or specific medical contraindications. A proper assessment is required.

Some may feel ear pressure or temporary nearsightedness. Very rare cases may include oxygen toxicity symptoms. Most side effects are mild and temporary. The medical team will evaluate your individual risk before therapy.
Sessions & Results

Before hyperbaric treatment, all patients must be seen and screened by our hyperbaric doctor. Please bring: Chest X-ray PA view, previous laboratory work-up, and 12L ECG — all within 3 months.

Typically 1 to 2 hours per session. Additional time is needed for preparation and decompression at the beginning and end of each session.

Some clients start with 5–10 sessions; structured programs may involve 10–20 sessions depending on goals. Results improve with consistency.

Many clients notice improved energy and recovery within the first few sessions. Deeper and longer-lasting results build over a full treatment program.

About IV Nutrient Therapy

IV drip is a procedure used to administer nutrient-rich fluids or medication directly to your bloodstream, allowing controlled dosing and rapid absorption. Nutrients bypass the digestive system for faster and better absorption.

IV Nutrient Therapy is commonly chosen for recovery, hydration, wellness, immune support, athletic recovery, travel fatigue, or beauty and skin wellness programs. Available cocktails include Myers' Cocktail, NAD+, L-Carnitine, and High-Dose Vitamin C.

Yes. Treatments are clinically guided, administered by trained medical professionals using sterile equipment, and personalized based on your health profile and clinical assessment. Pre-treatment assessment and physician clearance are required.

No. IV therapy complements — not replaces — healthy nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits.
Treatment Experience

Our physician first assesses and recommends the best IV Nutrient Drip for you. The IV is administered into your arm and you will be regularly monitored. Treatments are done in our cozy IV Drip space — take a nap, read, or watch a movie.

Depending on the IV cocktail, a session may take from 30 minutes to an hour. Some IV drips can take longer — a couple of hours.

IV therapy injects actives directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Supplements are taken orally and must go through the digestive system before being absorbed.
Specialized IV Therapies

NAD+ supports cellular energy. IV NAD+ may boost energy, mental clarity, reduce stress, and aid muscle recovery. It is usually administered weekly for the first month with monthly maintenance thereafter.

NAD+ is generally well-tolerated at the right dosage and protocol. Side effects may include nausea, headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, and palpitation, but are usually mild and transient. Physician assessment is required before starting.

  • Myers' Cocktail — boosts immunity, relieves stress and fatigue
