Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
The air pressure in the chambers at the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Clinic are two to three times higher than normal air pressure while you breathe 100% pure oxygen. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than is possible breathing at normal air, pushing oxygen into places needed for healing.
The science shows that this extra oxygen carried throughout your body triggers powerful healing via the growth of new blood vessels, clearing out diseased tissue, producing more stem cells to repair tissues, and stimulating other factors all of which promote healing.
Conditions that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can treat:
Chronic Infection
Skin Burns
Severe Anemia
Crush Injuries
Brain Abscess
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Skin Infection
Wound Healing
Plastic Surgery Recovery
Cancer Treatment Process
Sports Injuries
Diabetes
Radiation Injury
Brain Injury
Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Your body’s tissues need an adequate supply of oxygen to function. When tissue is injured, it requires even more oxygen to survive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. With repeated scheduled treatments, the temporary extra high oxygen levels encourage normal tissue oxygen levels, even after the therapy is completed.
Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for nearly 100 years by those seeking an alternative or supplemental treatment to address acute and chronic medical conditions. HBOT works via the combination of pressurized atmosphere and the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen to promote widespread healing in the body. It does this in several ways:
- Increases oxygen levels in the body
- Eliminates tissue hypoxia (low oxygen) by stimulating the growth of capillaries
- Reduces inflammation, thereby reducing pain and swelling and promoting healing
- Increases the number of stem cells in circulation throughout the body
- Increases the production and availability of neurotransmitters
- Stimulates connective tissue cells to promote wound healing
- Stimulates the immune system
- Inhibits the growth of some bacteria and kills anaerobic bacteria
- Improves the performance of some antibiotic medications
- Has antiviral effects
- Helps the body clear waste byproducts from the bloodstream
