Let’s talk about HBOT –
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) benefits the body by delivering high concentrations of oxygen to tissues, accelerating healing for chronic wounds (like diabetic ulcers), fighting infections, reducing inflammation, and stimulating new blood vessel/collagen growth. It also helps conditions like decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and can aid recovery from injuries, potentially improving brain function, athletic performance, and sleep quality, though specific uses vary by condition.
Key Benefits
Wound Healing: Stimulates new skin, blood vessel (angiogenesis), and collagen growth, crucial for diabetic foot ulcers, radiation injuries, and non-healing wounds, often reducing amputation risk.
Infection Control: Boosts immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages) and enhances the effects of some antibiotics, inhibiting bacteria and fungi.
Reduces Swelling: Decreases inflammation, swelling, and bruising in damaged tissues.
Brain Function: Increases oxygen to the brain, potentially improving recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and cognitive deficits.
Blood Vessel Health: Promotes formation of new capillaries to nourish oxygen-starved tissues.
Reduces Gas Bubbles: Dissolves trapped air or gas bubbles, beneficial for decompression sickness (the bends).
Athletic Recovery: Speeds up recovery, reduces fatigue, and improves performance by increasing oxygen delivery.
Cellular Repair: Activates stem cells and growth factors to promote tissue regeneration.
How It Works
In a pressurized chamber, patients breathe 100% oxygen, allowing plasma to carry 10-15 times more oxygen than normal, flooding the body's tissues and accelerating healing and fighting infection.
HBOT reduces swelling while flooding the tissues with oxygen. The higher pressure in the chamber increases the amount of oxygen in the blood.
HBOT can help the body produce increased collagen and elastin, improving skin elasticity. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, and the skin looks more youthful overall. Scars and hyperpigmentation can make the skin look aged. HBOT accelerates wound healing and reduces scarring.
HBOT can be an effective form of treatment for individuals with anxiety, stress, PTSD, and other psychological issues. With more than 40 million Americans diagnosed each year with anxiety and depression, it's time for some much-needed relief.
There are so many uses….the main premise being….
☀️☀️Angiogenesis & neurogenesis. ☀️☀️
Routine diagnosis we are currently treating in office are…
Neuropathy- bilateral feet-after only 7 sessions feeling/sensation returns. (Healing is permanent).
Post-Concussive syndrome- alleviation from dizziness, nausea, double vision, head aches, & dense brain fog. Immediate relief & 12-24 hrs later further relief.
Carbon dioxide poisoning. High ammonia levels. Liver clearance.
Type II diabetes
General wellness- brain fog, tissue swelling.
Liver clearance- b-12 overdose a year ago- pt found us a couple months ago & we began treatment- her levels are already substantially decreased & her toxicity symptoms resolving.
TBI- severe.
Post MVA- severe trauma
Knee & hip injury
Preops & post-ops
Exhaustion
Severe fatigue from hypothyroid imbalance.
Nothing else does what HBOT does.
Not a pill. Not a therapy. Not anything.
It stands alone in treatment & as a powerhouse in healing with restorative, regenerative & integrative medicine. ☀️
HBOT brings function back to the tissues you believed was lost. It is not. It just needs to be nourished w the proper nutrients with an up-regulated delivery system into the cells. The cells regain their health…that makes your tissues….that makes your systems. Your function returns. Just like our friend that couldn’t feel his feet two months ago. Or our sweet friend w dementia that up-regulated so fast his family was in tears of gratitude to have their dad back. Or how our young lady friend cleared a very severe case of mold exposure (in congurence w IV therapy) & couldn’t function….to regaining her entire life back & welcoming their first child.
At the end of the day it’s about your quality of life. Can you reach your feet to tie your shoes? Can you play with your grandkids? Are you happy? Can you navigate stairs? Do you live with pain you thought was life long? Depression? Anxiety? Fatigue? Brain fog? Do you wake up & feel good? Or not so much?
Post operatively🙏
Post Injury🙏
Post procedure🙏
HBOT heals the tissues quickly…..but more than that it heals the tissues efficiently & effectively. So we greatly reduce if not eliminate poor healing, infection, and longer wait times in healing. If you wait too long in your healing process it just doesn’t heal as efficiently….the tissues don’t heal as well. Then we hear stories like ‘my last knee surgery just didn’t heal right’ or ‘last surgery I had without HBOT & the swelling & pain was awful!’
I could tell you so many stories….
At the end of the day…..this is my favorite modality. And IYKYK 🫶
And as always….if you have questions please do ask 🫶
