Does hyperbaric help wound healing?

Hyperbaric therapy offers a safe, natural, and efficient medical therapy for non- healing wounds and other conditions that resist standard treatments. Using nothing but 100% oxygen at pressures above regular atmospheric pressure, HBOT nourishes with pure oxygen.
Under normal circumstances, only red blood cells transport oxygen through the blood. This often deprives important tissues of oxygen, especially after an injury. Fortunately, oxygen has a profound influence over wound healing, and any oxygen deficiency stunts the body’s ability to heal injuries.
Without oxygen, cells can’t produce the energy needed for bacterial defense, collagen synthesis, regeneration, or any other essential reparative functions. Instead, the healing process slows until it comes to a full halt. It’s not enough to simply inhale oxygen — the body needs concentrated oxygen flow to overcome its deficiencies.
HBOT makes it possible to deliver the concentrated oxygen needed for wound healing. Using a special chamber ,this therapy helps oxygen dissolve directly into all of the body’s fluids so that it can thoroughly permeate areas where circulation has become reduced or blocked.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HBOT, is a specialized form of medical treatment administered by delivering 100% pure oxygen to the body through increased atmospheric pressure greater than 1.3 ATA in an enclosed hard chamber.

How it works

At pressures greater than normal, the body can incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other bodily fluids. The increased oxygen absorption experienced during Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy significantly enhances the body’s ability to aid in its healing.
Once a person is in the increased atmospheric pressure, the body responds by reducing inflammation. With the inflammation reduced, blood flow to cells increases, enhancing the delivery of oxygen to oxygen-deprived areas.
At this point, the body’s healing process accelerates.
The body’s natural healing mechanisms can now function efficiently because the damaged tissues are receiving more oxygen. Even when the blood supply has been compromised, tissues can still receive the healing benefits of oxygen from other body fluids and plasma in the surrounding area.
