Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Every health concern, illness or disease involves inflammation that, if chronic, leads to tissue damage and low oxygen levels (hypoxia). Hyperbaric oxygen significantly lowers inflammation and the associated pain as well as significantly promotes healing of the damaged tissue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also increases the oxygen levels to every cell in the body thus supporting the function of every system in the body, including the nervous, digestive, immune, cardiovascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other medical or alternative therapies.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Increasing the tissue oxygen levels produces several important long term therapeutic benefits, including:

  •  Enhanced growth of new blood vessels
  • Increased ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria and remove toxins
  • Increased growth of fibroblasts (cells involved in wound healing)
  • Enhanced metabolic activity of previously marginally functioning cells including brain neurons

Responsive Conditions:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been demonstrated to be beneficial for almost 200 diverse conditions, ranging from stroke recovery, circulatory disorders, heart disease, infections and an adjunct in the treatment of aids and cancer. All conditions HBOT is used for have one thing in common: the affected areas are not getting enough life-sustaining oxygen.
