Key Benefits
of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
1. Accelerated Wound Healing
HBOT significantly enhances wound healing by promoting the growth of new blood vessels in injured areas. Increased oxygen levels stimulate collagen production and cellular repair, proving highly effective for chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, compromised skin grafts, and other non-healing wounds.
2. Reduced Swelling and Inflammation
Hyperbaric oxygen can help reduce inflammation and swelling. The increased pressure assists in constricting blood vessels and decreasing leakage, while modulated oxygen levels help manage the inflammatory response. These changes are beneficial for crush injuries, soft tissue infections, and post-surgical recovery processes.
3. Optimized Oxygen Delivery to Tissues
Breathing pure oxygen under pressure allows your blood plasma to carry significantly more oxygen than usual. This enhanced oxygen delivery bypasses limitations from poor circulation, ensuring vital oxygen reaches damaged tissues, areas affected by radiation injury, or those with compromised blood flow.
4. Enhanced Infection Control
Extra oxygen delivered via HBOT strengthens the body's immune response. It enhances the ability of white blood cells to fight bacteria and can directly inhibit the growth of certain anaerobic organisms often found in persistent soft tissue infections, complementing conventional treatment.
5. Support for Neurological Recovery & Other Conditions
HBOT is a standard therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning and helps mitigate tissue damage from radiation injury. Evidence also suggests it can support recovery processes related to certain neurological conditions by reducing oxidative stress and promoting cellular repair mechanisms.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy FAQs
HBOT involves breathing close to 100 percent oxygen while inside a specialized hyperbaric oxygen chamber where the air pressure is carefully increased above normal atmospheric pressure. This environment allows your lungs to gather much more oxygen than usual.
The increased air pressure allows significantly more oxygen to dissolve directly into your blood plasma. This highly oxygenated blood travels throughout the body, reaching damaged tissues, stimulating growth factors, reducing swelling, enhancing white blood cell activity, and promoting wound healing.
During treatment, you may notice a temporary feeling of fullness in your ears as the atmospheric pressure changes, similar to flying or diving. Once at the prescribed pressure, you simply relax and breathe normally. Most patients rest, watch movies, or listen to music.
HBOT is used as a conventional treatment or adjunctive therapy for various conditions approved by scientific evidence. These often include certain non-healing wounds like diabetic foot ulcers, radiation injury, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, crush injuries, specific soft tissue infections, and failing skin grafts.
Individual hyperbaric treatments typically last between 60 to 120 minutes. The total number of sessions required in a treatment plan varies greatly depending on the specific condition being addressed and individual response, as determined by your health care provider.
