International Hyperbaric Health Centers serves clients seeking HBOT for recovery, surgical support, and condition management through hard-shelled multi-place chamber system

International Hyperbaric Health Centers Inc. (IHHC) operates three hard-shelled multi-place hyperbaric chambers at its Richmond clinic, making it one of a limited number of non-hospital providers in British Columbia offering this configuration. The chambers, certified to ASME and PVHO safety codes and cleared by Health Canada as medical devices, accommodate multiple clients simultaneously, a distinction from single-occupancy soft chambers sometimes found in retail wellness settings. IHHC has maintained this chamber model since opening, with one of its directors bringing more than 20 years of experience in hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the operation.

Each multi-place chamber is large enough for several individuals to receive treatment at the same time while an attendant remains inside and trained technicians monitor from outside. Clients wear transparent hoods that deliver 100 percent oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure, a delivery method that differs from soft chambers where oxygen fills the entire interior space. The hard-shelled design means the chambers meet medical-device safety standards required by Health Canada for use in clinical environments. IHHC schedules sessions by appointment only and does not accept walk-ins, following a structured intake process that begins with medical forms.

IHHC offers hyperbaric sessions in 60-minute and 90-minute formats, as well as normobaric therapy at standard atmospheric pressure as an alternative for clients seeking regular oxygen-based support at a lower price point. A free consultation is available for prospective clients before their first session, during which they can discuss their condition and treatment options with clinic staff. The clinic follows a structured intake process that includes medical forms, a screening appointment, and a customized treatment plan.

Health Canada recognizes hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a well-established medical treatment for specific conditions including embolisms, carbon monoxide poisoning, non-healing wounds, thermal burns, and crush injuries. Outside of these recognized indications, the therapy is used in post-surgical recovery settings for its potential to reduce swelling and support tissue repair. IHHC serves clients from across Metro Vancouver who are referred by physicians, sports medicine practitioners, and rehabilitation specialists, as well as individuals who seek out the therapy independently after researching its applications.

“A growing number of people coming to us are already familiar with HBOT from discussions with their healthcare providers,” said a director at International Hyperbaric Health Centers. “They arrive with a specific goal in mind, whether that is supporting recovery after a surgical procedure, managing a chronic condition, or maintaining general wellness. Our role is to provide a clinical environment with the appropriate equipment and supervision for their treatment plan.” The clinic has observed that many first-time clients come through referrals from medical professionals who have experience with hyperbaric treatment in hospital settings.

The clinic operates weekdays at its Ironwood area location in southeast Richmond, near the Vancouver International Airport corridor. Each session is supervised by trained technicians who monitor chamber pressure, oxygen levels, and client comfort throughout the treatment. IHHC maintains the chambers under the required safety certifications and follows the applicable Health Canada guidelines for medical device operation. The clinic serves clients from Richmond, Vancouver, and surrounding areas who seek access to medical-grade hyperbaric therapy in a clinical facility rather than a spa or wellness centre environment. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, and all new clients begin with the intake process before their first scheduled session.
