Hyperbaric chambers are sealed chambers with adjustable pressure inside for treating patients or rehabilitating victims through prolonged exposure to conditions close to high or low pressure. Hyperbaric chambers are designed to prevent hypoxia (oxygen starvation), remove carbon dioxide and other dissolved gases from the blood, reduce hematocrit (the ratio between plasma and red blood cells), as well as for the prevention and treatment of decompression sickness. Types of equipment include underwater pressure chambers, pressure capsules, stationary cameras and equipment for suborbital flights. The use of pressure chambers to speed up medical rehabilitation became possible after their invention by surgeon Kh. B. Kravchenko in the USSR, which was patented in August 1951 [3]. The pressure chamber is a gas-tight bag with a pressure control unit designed for an average capacity of 6 to 60 liters of helium-oxygen mixture, a heating system, as well as a temperature sensor, pressure sensors and other auxiliary devices. Indications for use: arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarthritis, chronic tendovaginitis, spondylosis deformans, condition after surgical and therapeutic removal of damaged intervertebral discs. The main negative consequences of pathological effects on the spine are the development of a degenerate
