WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or as it is commonly referred to as, HBOT, is a treatment that enhances your body’s natural healing processes. It consists of increased pressure and increased oxygen. Oxygen is integral for healing. HBOT can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stroke, cerebral palsy, head injuries, and chronic fatigue. There are several benefits to HBOT and minimal side effects.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a specialized oxygen treatment that enhances your body’s natural healing process just by breathing 100% oxygen in a total body chamber where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. HBOT occurs in a hyperbaric pressurized chamber where the patient is breathing pure oxygen. The air pressure is increased about three times higher than normal air pressure. The amount of oxygen that's carried in the blood is increased, and that promotes healing and fights infections. Both the increased pressure and the increased oxygen are bioactive and have independent, overlapping, and interactive effects on our body and disease processes.
The increased oxygen at pressure allows extra oxygen to reach all of the damaged tissues and helps the body in the healing process. The combination of increased atmospheric pressure and increased oxygen in a total body chamber treats a wide variety of health conditions, usually as part of an overall healthcare plan.
For best results, the treatment needs to be repeated, ongoing for a period of time.
