Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefits

Wound injuries damage the body’s blood vessels and causes swelling. This swelling deprives the damaged cells of oxygen, and tissue starts to die. HBOT reduces swelling while flooding the tissues with oxygen. The higher pressure in the chamber increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. HBOT aims to break the cycle of swelling, oxygen starvation, and tissue death and promote rapid healing.

HBOT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:

• Acute wounds: HBOT can help to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, which can speed up the healing process.
• Chronic wounds: HBOT can help to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and tissue, which can help to heal wounds that have not responded to other treatments.
• Inflammation: HBOT can help to reduce inflammation, which can improve symptoms for a variety of conditions, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Orthopaedic rehabilitation: HBOT can help to improve bone and soft tissue healing, which can speed up the recovery time for patients who have undergone surgery or other orthopaedic procedures.
• Sports injuries: HBOT can help to reduce inflammation and pain, and improve range of motion, for athletes who have sustained sports injuries.

It is important to note that HBOT is not a cure-all, and it is not appropriate for all patients. It is important to talk to your doctor to see if HBOT is right for you.

Here are some additional safety guidelines to keep in mind:

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list. If you have any questions or concerns about whether or not HBOT is safe for you, please consult with your healthcare provider.

HBOT may not be the ideal treatment method for all medical conditions and/or when using certain medications. Please consult with your healthcare provider prior to beginning HBO treatment:
