HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

A hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a specialized medical device that provides pure oxygen at a pressure greater than normal atmospheric pressure. This therapy, known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), is used to treat a variety of conditions and promote healing. Here's an overview of what is typically offered with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

BENEFITS AND TREATMENT OFFERINGS

 

  • Promotes Wound Healing: HBOT helps accelerate the healing process of chronic, non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers or surgical wounds. By increasing oxygen levels in the blood, it enhances tissue repair and reduces swelling.

  • Treats Decompression Sickness: Originally used for divers with decompression sickness (the bends), HBOT helps remove nitrogen bubbles from the bloodstream and tissues, which can occur after rapid ascent from deep dives.

  • Reduces Inflammation and Pain: The high oxygen concentration can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, making it beneficial for conditions like arthritis, muscle injuries, and post-surgical recovery.

  • Supports Brain Function and Recovery: HBOT is used to improve oxygen supply to the brain, which may aid in recovery from stroke, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and other neurological conditions. It may also help with cognitive function and memory.

  • Enhances Immune Function: The therapy can improve immune system activity by promoting the production of white blood cells, which helps fight infections and support overall health.

  • Treats Infections: Hyperbaric oxygen can enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics and help treat chronic infections like osteomyelitis (bone infection) and soft tissue infections, particularly those caused by anaerobic bacteria.

  • Promotes Anti-Aging and Skin Health: Increased oxygen levels stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin health, reduce wrinkles, and promote a youthful appearance. It may also help in the recovery of damaged skin, such as after burns.

  • Improves Athletic Performance and Recovery: Athletes sometimes use HBOT to speed up recovery from intense training or injury, as it helps reduce lactic acid buildup and increases oxygen supply to muscles.

  • Treats Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: HBOT is an effective treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning, as it helps to displace carbon monoxide from haemoglobin in the blood and restore oxygen levels quickly.

  • Helps with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia: Some people use HBOT to manage chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, as it may help to improve energy levels, reduce pain, and promote better sleep.

TREATMENT EXPERIENCE

Duration: Sessions typically last 90 minutes.

Frequency: Treatment schedules vary depending on the condition being treated but can range from daily to several times a week. Multiple consequent sessions are recommended for better results.

Comfort: The chamber is pressurized, and patients breathe in a high percentage of oxygen. The environment is luxurious, with patients seated comfortably during the session, with additional online entertainment and climate control options for an enhanced patient experience.

Safety: HBOT is generally safe when performed under medical supervision. However, there are some contraindications (e.g., untreated pneumothorax, certain lung conditions) that should be considered.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often part of a broader treatment plan aimed at accelerating healing and improving overall health.
