Arthritis affects the lives of millions of people everyday. It is characterized by joint stiffness, swelling, and pain in various parts of the body, including the knees, hands, wrists, hips, and back. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is particularly effective on Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is one of the most common types of arthritis. By saturating your body with 100% pure oxygen, it can reduce the inflammation and swelling in joints, and provide relief from the ongoing pain.
Although there is no cure for arthritis, the extra supply of oxygen to the affected areas may kickstart the healing process. HBOT for patients suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis can often lead to improved quality of life through decreased pain, increased activity level, better sleep, and possibly a decreased need for standard rheumatologic medications.
