Hyperbaric Chamber

WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes through the inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a variety of treatments and conditions, offering numerous potential health benefits.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

  • Enhanced Healing: Increasing oxygen concentration in all body tissues, HBOT accelerates the rate of healing and aids in recovery from acute injuries that involve inflammation, pain, and loss of function.
  • Reduced Inflammation and Pain: The therapy is particularly effective in reducing inflammation, speeding up tissue repair, and alleviating pain.
  • Improved Circulation and Immune Function: HBOT encourages the formation of new blood vessels, boosts circulation, and strengthens the immune system, making it beneficial for overall well-being.
  • Support for Cognitive Function and Energy Levels: The increased oxygen supply also supports cognitive functions and boosts energy levels.
