Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
is a painless and non-invasive specialized oxygen treatment that effectively enhances the body’s natural healing process.
It involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber.
This therapy allows blood plasma to absorb up to ten to fifteen times more oxygen at pressures greater than sea level. This helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. The benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) include enabling the oxygen to dissolve into hard-to-reach plasma, lymph, and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord, increasing the amount of oxygen carried by the blood, reducing swelling and inflammation, stimulating the development of new blood vessels in compromised circulation areas, promoting collagen, bone, and cartilage repair and regeneration, mobilizing and increasing stem cells within damaged tissues and bone marrow, increasing superoxide dismutase (a crucial antioxidant and free radical scavenger), strengthening the immune system, and stimulating the release of stem cells.
The most common conditions treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy include sport performance and recovery, chronic fatigue, inflammatory situations.
