What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivers oxygen to tissues up to 25 times normal levels. This stimulates the production of body stem cells, decreases swelling and inflammation, promotes regeneration of injured tissues and increases healing rates.
Healthier Cells = Healthier Tissues = Healthy organs = Healthier YOU!
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe method of delivering more oxygen to the body at the cellular level. It provides the optimal environment for the body to carry out vital cell processes, by increasing the capacity for the body to heal itself. The hyperbaric chamber utilizes filtered pressurized ambient air to dissolve oxygen directly into the plasma, cerebral and spinal fluids, flooding tissues and vital organs with oxygen. Hyperbaric Therapy also allows for healing at the cellular level, which is critical for changes to be made to affect healthy tissue formation which makes it possible for healthier organs and ultimately a healthier body overall.
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work? The chamber is filled with compressed ambient air from 2-4.5 pounds per square inch (1.3 ATA max). This is equal to 11 feet below sea level. The increased pressure allows the blood plasma and other liquids of the body to absorb additional oxygen thus greatly increasing oxygen uptake by the cells, tissues, glands, organs, brain, and fluids of the body. The result of the increased pressure plus an increase of circulation supports a decrease in swelling or inflammation. Oxygen is then utilized by the body for vital cell functions, healthier cells mean healthier tissues and organs!
Why Does the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Work? The human body is composed almost completely of water. Gas under pressure dissolves in water.
What May You Experience and How to Prepare. Some people feel a little ear discomfort initially, similar to an airplane taking off. This pressure reduces as the chamber is all filled up. Some people may feel a little fatigued after the session (initially) as the body sweeps itself clear of toxic debris that has built up in the body. This is all safe and necessary. Wear comfortable clothing, loose clothing is best. Pantyhose and other tight garments are not suggested. Bring a book to read, an IPAD, or your favorite CD to listen too. Or simply, climb in and take a nap! Avoid drinking a lot of fluids before entering the chamber as you will be in there for 1 full hour. (we can get you out if needed sooner). Please do not wear any perfume or cologne when you are coming for your session. And please avoid using herbals that provide a detox effect (like garlic) prior to using the chamber.
Are There Any Reasons You Should Not Go Into the Hyperbaric Chamber? YES. You should not go into the chamber if you have ear canal problems or an ear or sinus infection. If you have a collapsed lung you should not go into the chamber. If there is a tumor in the lung please let us know first.
How Frequently Should I Schedule My Sessions? We will make recommendations for you based on your needs after we meet you. But normal guidance is 2x a week.
