Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric oxygen chamber. This treatment increases the oxygen levels in the blood, promoting faster healing and better recovery. HBOT is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including chronic wounds, infections, and decompression sickness. It enhances the body's natural healing processes by improving oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.

​
The process of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is straightforward and involves the following steps:
​
-
Preparation: You'll be asked to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Any items that could pose a safety risk, such as jewelry or electronic devices, will need to be removed.
-
Entering the Chamber: You'll enter a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which can be either a single-person unit. Once inside, you'll lie down or sit comfortably.
-
Pressurization: The chamber is then sealed, and the pressure is gradually increased to a level higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This process can take a few minutes, during which you might feel a slight pressure in your ears, similar to the sensation during an airplane ascent.
-
Breathing Oxygen: Once the desired pressure is reached, you'll begin breathing 100% oxygen. This phase typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, you can relax, read, or even sleep.
-
Depressurization: After the treatment session, the pressure is slowly decreased back to normal atmospheric levels. This process also takes a few minutes, and you may feel a slight popping sensation in your ears.​​
-
Completion: Once the session is complete, you can exit the chamber and resume your normal activities. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, depending on your specific health needs and goals
Enhanced Red Blood Cell Function
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) significantly boosts the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. By increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma, it ensures that even tissues with compromised blood flow receive adequate oxygen. This improvement in oxygen delivery supports overall cellular health, enhances energy production, and accelerates healing processes throughout the body
Benefits
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) improves oxygen delivery to muscles, enhancing endurance, stamina, and overall performance during physical activities.
​
Faster Recovery: Accelerates the healing of muscle injuries, reduces inflammation, and minimizes soreness, allowing athletes to recover more quickly and get back to training sooner.
​
Injury Prevention: By promoting better circulation and tissue health, HBOT helps prevent injuries and supports overall muscle and joint health, keeping athletes in peak condition
Benefits
Reduced Inflammation: The therapy reduces swelling and inflammation, aiding in the recovery of conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
​
Boosted Brain Function: Can improve cognitive function and assist in the recovery from brain injuries, strokes, and neurological conditions by enhancing oxygen delivery to the brain.
​
Reduction of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Effects: HBOT is effective in treating carbon monoxide poisoning, helping to remove the toxin from the bloodstream and restore normal oxygen levels.
​
Improved Overall Health: Regular HBOT sessions can enhance general well-being by improving oxygenation, boosting energy levels, and supporting the body's natural detoxification processes.
