Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy is an FDA,AMA approved non-invasive medical treatment used to deliver high concentrations of oxygen inside the body. While in a pressurized environment the 100% oxygen you breathe is dissolved in your blood much more effectively and is then transported beyond cellular level into plasma and tissues which need it most.This treatment is covered by most insurance companies for certain conditions.It is very safe and painless.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a systemic treatment in a pressurized chamber and not to be confused with topical or supplemental oxygen.The natural healing mechanisms that occur during Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy have been scientifically proven and therapeutically used for over 60 years.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is based on simple concepts. The air we breath has a small percentage of oxygen. Breathing 100% oxygen in a normal room increases that level of oxygen in the bloodstream by about 3% to 5%. However, breathing pure oxygen in an increased-pressure environment delivers twenty to thirty times that amount of oxygen to your body’s tissues. This is especially important in tissues affected by poor circulation such as brain tissues damaged by stroke or head injury.

In order to provide patients with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a pressurized environment is used. The patient is placed within a hyperbaric chamber, which is then pressurized to therapeutic levels. Trained hyperbaric medical staff will determine the pressure and the length of treatment based upon carefully studied and recommended protocols. 

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers can be found in the best hospitals around the world. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for all types of injuries or illnesses which have been shown to respond well to high levels of oxygen administration.
