Breathing in 100 percent oxygen can promote healing.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT is a non-invasive, generally painless, and effective medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by providing pure 100% oxygen to a patient in a chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. This flood of oxygen to the system creates an environment for healing without debilitating side effects.
During an HBOT treatment, patients breathe medical grade oxygen at increased pressure, producing an increase in the amount of oxygen carried by the blood and other fluids. The air we normally breathe only contains 19-21% of this essential element. The concentration of oxygen normally dissolved in the bloodstream is thus raised over 1200% with HBOT.
HBOT stimulates the transportation of stem cells to the site of a brain injury, promoting the growth of new blood vessels and recovery.
With HBOT, athletes can experience accelerated recovery and enhanced performance and endurance.
Stimulating collagen, HBOT helps repair damaged skin cells and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
HBOT can be used as a complementary treatment to any surgery to fight infection, reduce swelling, and stimulate healthy tissue growth.
This flood of oxygen to the system creates an environment for healing without debilitating side effects.
There are currently 14 conditions for which the FDA has approved the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the U.S. However, physicians and researchers have discovered numerous off-label uses for HBOT that are backed by science and experience, which physicians, including those at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, prescribe when appropriate. In fact, worldwide, HBOT is commonly used to treat over 60 medical conditions. Consultations are covered by insurance.
