Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Definition

imagesHyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is most known for the treatment of decompression sickness, a hazard of scuba diving. Conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy at our clinic include: Accelerating the healing of orthopedic injuries, improving the results of PRP, stem cell transplant procedures and prolotherapy,  as well as other regenerative injection treatments for various neurologic conditions to improve oxygenation of the central nervous system.

In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy room, the air pressure is raised higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather up to three times more oxygen than would be possible by breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.

Your blood carries this oxygen throughout your body, stimulating the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
