What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Oxygen therapy provides the patient with supplemental oxygen to breathe in, which can help speed up healing. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) takes this one step further by administering concentrations of pure oxygen in a chamber with high air pressure.
This hyperbaric oxygen chamber helps the lungs take in more oxygen-which is 100% pure oxygen (as opposed to the air we breathe normally, which is 21% oxygen). Tissues receive heightened levels of pure oxygen which helps to build new blood vessels and eliminate some infections.
How Do HBOT Treatments Work?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at our clinic is meticulously designed to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the entire process. Patients often find these sessions to be tranquil and relaxing. The number of sessions required varies depending on the specific condition and its severity.
Following a period of approximately 1 hour the air pressure gradually decreases, marking the completion of the session. Our highly trained staff ensures that the entire experience is seamless and tailored to your specific needs.
It's important to note that while HBOT is a powerful therapy, it may not be suitable for individuals with recent ear injuries or surgeries, active cold or fever symptoms, or specific lung diseases. Your safety and well-being remain our utmost priority, and our medical professionals will assess your eligibility for the treatment to guarantee optimal outcomes.
