The Principles of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

The term โ€œhyperbaricโ€ is defined as a gas at a pressure greater than normal. Compared to breathing normal air at sea level, hyperbaric oxygen-rich air will drive up to 10 โ€“ 15% more oxygen into the plasma and other fluids of the body, including lymph and cerebrospinal fluid. This increase can produce a four-fold increase in the diffusing distance of oxygen from functioning capillaries โ€“ meaning oxygen can reach otherwise unreachable damaged tissues.

Super-saturating the body with oxygen enhances the regeneration of damaged tissue, strengthens the immune system, and provides the body with greater opportunity for healing by:

  • Immediately reversing hypoxia (low oxygen)
  • Acting as a signal inducer of DNA, turning on and off over 8,000 genes
  • Greatly reducing swelling and inflammation
  • Stimulating the production of stem cells and mobilizing them to damaged tissues, enhancing energy production at the cellular level
  • Promoting repair and regeneration of brain cells, nerve cells, bone cells, collagen, and cartilage
  • Stimulating the development of new blood vessels where circulation has been compromised (angiogenesis)

The Benefits

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a noninvasive treatment that can address a variety of medical conditions, either as a primary or complementary therapy.

HBOT has very few risks or side effects and may be helpful if you suffer from an inflammatory condition, or a condition that may be improved when blood flow and delivery of oxygen to vital organs and tissues is optimized. Some of the benefits that can result from hyperbaric oxygen treatment are:

  • Healing wounds, no matter where they are or how they are caused
  • Decreasing wound healing time; clinically proven to reduce infection, swelling, and bruising
  • Reducing the risk of amputation
  • Enhancing the brainโ€™s ability to regain neurologic function
  • Decreasing disability
  • Reducing pain
  • Improving quality of life
