Hyperbaric Medicine

INTRODUCING HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Hyperbaric medicine, also known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), describes the use of 100% oxygen at higher than normal pressures in order to speed up the recovery from certain injuries and to improve the body's ability to heal from a variety of conditions.

The helpfulness of HBOT lies in its ability to produce much greater amounts of oxygen in the tissues of the body. The increase in pressure of oxygen with HBOT is a lot higher than breathing pure oxygen at normal pressure and up to 15 times higher than breathing air. It is this increased saturation of oxygen in our body tissues that can accelerate the natural healing process.

BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
The use of HBOT around the world is rapidly becoming more popular as the benefits are better understood and research is carried out on new applications.

For example HBOT may:

promote the growth of new blood vessels
decrease swelling and inflammation
assist in the recovery from certain injuries
improve healing, e.g., for chronic ulcers, burns, post-surgical wounds & bone repair
help to overcome certain toxins
increase the body's ability to fight various infections
be used to complement other therapies and treatments
