What is HBOT?

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and How Can it Help Me?

Under normal circumstances, oxygen is absorbed into circulation when we breathe and transported throughout the body only by red blood cells.  Under pressure, oxygen can be dissolved into all of the body’s fluids, the plasma, the lymphatic system, the central nervous system fluids, and the bone. This allows us to dissolve, transport, and deliver many more times the normal oxygen to our tissues and cells.

It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. In many cases, such as circulatory problems, scar tissue and non-healing wounds, adequate oxygen cannot easily reach the damaged area. Oxygen can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. This extra oxygen can reach the damaged tissues and help the body’s natural healing process. HBOT can improve the quality of life for patients by enhancing the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reducing swelling, rebuilding bones, tissues and ligaments and promoting the growth of newblood vessels in affected areas. It is a safe and effective therapy with minimal side effects.
