During HBOT treatments, the patient enters a special chamber, which is slowly pressurized with 100% oxygen. It forces oxygen into the body in a completely painless manner, causing oxygen to dissolve into all of the body’s fluids, including the plasma, lymph, and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Through this process, damaged areas where circulation is poor or blocked are trickled and filled with the extra oxygen, allowing natural healing to take place.
HBOT helps deliver oxygen-rich plasma to tissue starved for oxygen. It increases the amount of oxygen in the blood and floods the tissues with oxygen. It reduces swelling, strengthens the immune system, fights infection, encourages the formation of new collagen (connective tissue) and new skin cells through new blood vessel formation, improves physical function and health-related quality of life, and promotes natural healing and relief from a multitude of uncomfortable symptoms.
