Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an advanced medical treatment that delivers 100% oxygen to patients within a specially designed chamber, where the atmospheric pressure is increased to two or three times higher than normal. 

During an HBOT session, patients rest comfortably in a hyperbaric chamber. The increased pressure and pure oxygen exposure cause a dramatic rise in oxygen levels within the bloodstream. 

This surplus oxygen accelerates the body's natural healing processes by:

• Accelerated wound healing by increasing oxygen availability to damaged tissues

• Enhanced growth of healthy tissue and blood vessels

• Effective reduction of swelling and blockage within blood vessels

• Elimination of trapped air or gas bubbles

• Boosted effectiveness of antibiotics and the body’s own immune response

Doctors specializing in hyperbaric medicine use HBOT to treat a variety of medical issues, including:

• Chronic, non-healing wounds (such as diabetic foot ulcers)

• Radiation tissue damage following cancer therapy

• Carbon monoxide poisoning

• Decompression sickness (a risk for scuba divers)

• Air or gas embolism

• Severe anemia and crushing injuries

• Bone infections (osteomyelitis) unresponsive to other treatments

• Burns and compromised skin grafts or flaps

• Sudden hearing or vision loss due to blocked blood flow
