What is Hyperbaric Therapy (HBOT)?
Oxygen therapy Is a simple and non-invasive therapy that places the body in a pressurized environment at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). The pressurized environment allows the extra oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and to travel freely through the circulatory system, getting to areas that red blood cells may be restricted in flow, naturally enhancing the human body’s functions.
What are the benefits of oxygen therapy?
There are many benefits to oxygen therapy, including:
- Decreases inflammation
- Speeds up healing process
- Reduces pain
- Fights premature aging
- Increases brain cells production
FAQs
What does an HBOT experience feel like?
The overall experience is very relaxing and calming, many users actually fall asleep. Some ear pressure will be experienced by most, similar to that while flying in a jet plane. You can use the same ear pressure clearing techniques used during flight.
What else do I need to know about oxygen therapy?
There are a ton of benefits to HBOT therapy.
Enhanced Performance
Several studies show that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can speed recovery from injury. In fact, there are documented cases where the resulting repaired tissue is stronger and more tensile after healing.
INCREASE ENERGY
The human body depends on a constant flow of oxygen to help generate enough cellular energy (or ATP) for its metabolic needs. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides the body with additional doses of oxygen. This extra oxygen combines with the food we eat to create additional energy for the body to use as needed. In damaged tissue, this additional flow of oxygen may help provide the critical extra energy needed for both tissue repair and function.
REGENERATE TISSUE
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) facilitates the body’s ability to produce both new tissue and blood vessels. This can provide long-term circulatory benefits that are crucial for recovery from various diseases and injuries. This is not only essential for damaged areas and injuries inside the body, but more importantly, helps combat the degenerative effects that occur during aging.
BODY PROTECTION
The cells in our body are exposed to unprecedented levels of stressors: fast food, car exhaust, cigarette smoke and industrial chemicals, just to name a few. As these begin to overwhelm our built-in antioxidant system, our DNA now has less protection from these attacks and many diseases can follow. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides a strong and very quick rise in the endogenous antioxidant system, targeting the metabolically active tissue. This can give enhanced cellular protection for both current and future exposures.
INJURY RECOVERY
From muscle contusions and ankle sprains to delayed onset muscle soreness, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been used for recovery to facilitate soft tissue healing, quicken healing time in fractures, reduce swelling and get athletes back into the game. In the event of a brain injury, HBOT can improve symptoms by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Will I experience any discomfort?
The overall experience is very relaxing and calming, many users actually fall asleep. Some ear pressure will be experienced by most, similar to that while flying in a jet plane. You can use the same ear pressure clearing techniques used during flight.
How many sessions are recommended and how long do they last?
Depending on your situation the number of sessions will vary. A typical session could last 30, 60, or 90 minutes, and protocols of 10, 20, and 40 sessions are commonly seen.
