Scott Eugene, 24, is placed inside of a beige capsule the size of a midsize sedan. His mother, Michele, watches her nervous son, who is moaning in fear.

Scott is being placed in this capsule, a hyperbaric chamber, because his parents believe it will help the effects of his cerebral palsy and other disabilities. The hyperbaric chamber is not in a hospital; in fact, Scott’s mother and Craig Meier bought the chamber to help him. They also let others use the machine through their business Hope Clinic—for a fee.

Hope Clinic is one of around 300 hyperbaric chamber businesses that exist around the country, and they offer treatment for conditions from autism to Alzheimer’s. They believe that breathing in highly pressurized oxygen will spark injured neurons, even though there is no science to prove it. For this reason, insurers will not cover non-medically proven uses for hyperbaric chambers in hospitals. Approved uses include treating pressure sickness in divers, certain burns and wounds, bone infections, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
While there is no medical evidence that these machines help those with cerebral palsy, Eugene says it has helped her son. After spending an hour in the chamber for the first time, one of Scott’s arms that usually had muscle spasms and was drawn close to his body was dangling by his side. Throughout his treatments, Michele found more changes. "In school, they clocked him, and he could sit and pay attention for up to 45 minutes," she said. "This was a kid whose attention span had been that of a flea."
