Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, allowing the lungs to gather more oxygen than under normal conditions.

This increased oxygen concentration in the bloodstream enables higher oxygen levels to reach tissues and organs throughout the body, even those with limited blood flow. By saturating tissues with oxygen, HBOT stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting the growth of new blood vessels, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cellular repair. The combination of pressure and oxygen creates a synergistic effect, amplifying the therapeutic benefits and supporting various wellness goals, from wound healing and immune function to cognitive enhancement and stress reduction.

HBOT offers a multitude of benefits for overall wellness. By increasing oxygen levels in the body under pressure, HBOT accelerates wound healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue repair. This therapy also boosts immune function, aids in the treatment of certain medical conditions such as radiation injury and carbon monoxide poisoning, and promotes relaxation and stress reduction. Additionally, HBOT supports athletic performance and recovery, improves cognitive function, and may have positive effects on neurological conditions like stroke and traumatic brain injury. With its wide-ranging benefits, HBOT is a valuable adjunctive therapy for enhancing overall health and well-being.

The number of HBOT sessions required varies depending on individual needs and the condition being treated. Typically, a course of treatment involves multiple sessions, ranging from a few to several dozen, administered over several weeks. Our healthcare provider trained in HBOT will assess each patient’s specific situation and determine the appropriate number of sessions needed to achieve optimal results. Generally, patients can expect to undergo HBOT sessions once or twice weekly, with each session lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes, to experience the full benefits of this therapeutic modality.
