Conditions
You may not need a reminder that oxygen is essential to life, but did you realize the role of oxygen in your body doesn’t start and stop in your lungs? As an essential nutrient, every cell requires oxygen for its normal level of functioning. There are times that our body may be fully saturated with oxygen but still has areas that are oxygen-deficient. This happens when there is injury, trauma, damage to the circulatory system, inflammation or toxicity present.
Inflammation
Autoimmune Disorders
Post-Covid Syndrome
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Chrohn’s, Colitis)
Arthritis
Mold Toxicity Illness
Lyme Disease
Stroke/Post-Stroke
Neurodegenerative Disorders (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s)
Concussion/Post-Concussion Syndrome
Lung Disorders (Asthma, Pulmonary Fibrosis)
Inflammation is a normal part of the body’s defense to injury or infection, but inflammation is damaging when it occurs in healthy tissues or lasts too long. This is known as chronic inflammation.
Inflammation may result from many factors:
Environmental toxins, such as chemicals or mold
Pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi
Injuries to tissues, muscles, bones
Radiation
To reverse any inflammatory condition, the body needs help to boost the immune system and get the ongoing inflammation under control. When we increase the level of oxygen in the bloodstream and the plasma is saturated, we have a reduction in inflammation and pain. Studies show Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy also improves the balance of inflammatory chemicals in the body. Specifically, it is shown to promote a decrease in the pro-inflammatory chemicals and an increase in the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. We see markers of inflammation like C-reactive protein and high levels of cytokines are significantly decreased with HBOT.
Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injury
Athletic Injury (Sprains, Strains, Ligament Tears)
Concussion/Post-concussion Syndrome
Muscle/Osteoarticular Injuries
Cerebral Hypoxia
Neurological Damage (Bell’s Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis)
Crush Injury
Back Injuries (Sprains, Herniated Disc, Fractured vertebra)
No physical injury or wound can heal without oxygen. In an injury where swelling is present, circulation is disrupted and these areas struggle to get the oxygen that is needed for repair. Areas with lesser blood flow like muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones are specifically more challenging to repair. The physics of the chamber “pushes” more oxygen into the bloodstream directly to the cells, tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, bones and lymph nodes which speeds up the body’s healing process, but also enhances the ability to fight infections and promotes the development of new tissue and blood vessel formation. Specifically, in a brain injury, HBOT subdues the inflammation as well as lessening intracranial pressure.
Wounds
Diabetic Foot
Skin Grafts
Pre/Post-surgical Recovery or Complication
Burns
Acute Necrotizing Infections
Chronic, Non-healing Wound
Traumatic Abrasions/Lacerations
Pressure Ulcer
Pain
Fibromyalgia
Migraines
Neuropathy
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Acute and Chronic Pain
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Wound healing + Nerve healing + Anti-Inflammatory + More
Hyperbaric oxygen Therapy is the answer.
HBOT is a safe and natural process using the laws of physics and pressurized oxygen to revitalize and regenerate our body’s innate healing system
Why is Oxygen so Important for
Successful Wound Healing?
Most of the core functions involved in wound healing are oxygen-dependent, so increasing oxygen in the body can support the wound-healing process.
Many factors have the potential to decrease the supply of oxygen into the blood and cells, including heart disease, radiation therapy, and tissue inflammation.
Under normal circumstances, oxygen can only make its way through the blood within red blood cells. When red blood cells are too low or can’t circulate properly, important tissues become deprived of oxygen.
Cells that lack sufficient oxygen can’t produce the energy needed for bacterial defense, collagen synthesis, regeneration, or any other essential reparative functions. Instead, the healing process slows until it comes to a full halt, but it’s not enough to simply inhale oxygen — the body needs concentrated oxygen flow to overcome its deficiencies. HBOT infuses the entire body with oxygen, even areas where circulation has become reduced or blocked. When white blood cells receive enough oxygen, they can effectively work to kill bacteria, reduce swelling and allow the rapid reproduction of new blood vessels. Now, the cells have the ability to build new connective tissue and begin organ repair.
