What is HBOT
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), is a non invasive treatment that involves breathing in 93% oxygen at increased air pressure, within a specially designed chamber. Our chamber can be set at 1.3, 1.5 or 2.0 x atmospheric pressure. This therapy is based on the principle that higher levels of oxygen under pressure can significantly enhance the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes.
HOW HYPERBARICS WORKS
The pressure in the chamber pushes the oxygen into the plasma, lymph and cerebral fluid, where it is dissolved and carried around the body more quickly than oxygen in the red blood cells. The oxygen reduces the stickiness of the white blood cells, white blood cells are key in fighting infection and disease. Thus allowing deeper oxygen penetration into the tissues, where alpha toxins can be suppressed, increasing the body’s own antioxidant and healing can begin.
Healing in this treatment comes in many forms, as all tissues need oxygen to survive. Over a series of sessions it reduces activation of inflammatory cells in the body, and has a role in the reduction of oedema.
It increases collagen deposition
It encourages bone growth, Osteogenesis.
It aids new blood growth, neovasculisation.
Oxygen therapy in general increases energy levels, enhances mental clarity and focus, and improves overall physical performance.
Here's a closer look at what HBOT entails:
During an HBOT session, individuals are placed inside a safe and comfortable hyperbaric chamber.
Inside the chamber, they breathe 93% oxygen through a mask, at a pressure set to 1.3- 2.0 atmospheric pressure.
Increased Atmospheric Pressure: The hyperbaric chamber is set at a greater pressure to allow the body to absorb more oxygen into the bloodstream, reaching areas that may have compromised blood flow.
During your time in the chamber oxygen gets dissolved into the other fluids in the body not just your red blood cells. Having oxygen absorbed into the plasma, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid allows the body to heal and repair more quickly.
Medical Benefits: HBOT has been utilized to treat a variety of medical conditions. It is particularly effective in helping the body heal wounds, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. Conditions that may benefit from HBOT are listed below with a studies from Pubmed. There are many studies being performed on a whole array of health issues and evidence is mounting all the time of the benefits of HBOT. Have a look for yourself www.pubmed.org
In summary, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment that harnesses the healing power of pure oxygen delivered at increased atmospheric pressure. It is a versatile therapy with a wide range of applications and has proven to be effective in promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and improving overall well-being for individuals dealing with a variety of issues. The Oxygen Therapy Clinic is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for those seeking the benefits of HBOT.
