What is the goal of hyperbaric chamber therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, is designed to deliver an increased amount of oxygen to the body. This is done in a chamber where air pressure increases up to threefold that of normal air pressure around us. Oxygen in the body increases dramatically, providing a wide selection of benefits for patients seeking ways to boost their health and address a myriad of conditions that may affect their daily quality of life.
What are the advantages of hyperbaric chamber therapy?
Increasing oxygen levels in the body helps in many different aspects and is used for aesthetic, athletic, and health purposes:
- Aesthetic use. HBOT is commonly used for patients who want to enjoy the cosmetic benefits it provides. This includes skin rejuvenation, increased collagen production, improved wound healing, reduced inflammation and swelling, and reduced symptoms of conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.
- Athletic use. Injuries that happen during athletic events can be improved faster by integrating hyperbaric chamber therapy. It can be used for active recovery, wound healing, and traumatic brain injuries and can even aid in increasing one’s mental focus and boosting performance.
- Health use. Patients with certain conditions or a higher risk of medical problems may benefit from regular use of HBOT. These include heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, MS, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, neurological disorders, insomnia, and more!
