Our Technologies (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT))

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% pure oxygen in a specially designed pressurized chamber, where the atmospheric pressure is higher than normal. The chamber allows patients to lie down comfortably throughout the therapy session, which typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. The number of sessions varies depending on the individual's medical condition and treatment goals.

Breathing oxygen at a higher pressure allows the body to absorb significantly more oxygen than under normal conditions. This helps deliver oxygen to tissues with compromised blood flow, enhancing cell repair, regeneration, and metabolism. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is recognized as a modern therapeutic option that can benefit a wide range of health conditions.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):

• Increases oxygen concentration in all body tissues, even in areas with poor blood circulation, such as the brain or damaged nerve tissues.
• Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (neovascularization).
• Promotes the production of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), an essential antioxidant enzyme.
• Enhances white blood cell function, improving the body’s ability to fight infection.
• Supports the recovery of organs and tissues affected by poor circulation or oxygen delivery.

HBOT in Chronic Disease Treatment and Rehabilitation

HBOT is an internationally accepted medical treatment for a variety of health conditions, particularly those related to low oxygen levels at the cellular or tissue level. By delivering pure oxygen under high pressure, HBOT helps improve blood circulation, repair damaged cells, and accelerate wound healing. There is strong clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness in several medical indications.

Primary Medical Indications for HBOT:

1. Decompression Sickness (commonly associated with deep-sea diving)
2. Arterial or Gas Embolism
3. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
4. Gas Gangrene (Clostridium infections)
5. Crush Injuries, Compartment Syndrome, and Acute Ischemia
6. Arterial Insufficiencies, such as:
   • Chronic or non-healing wounds
   • Central retinal artery occlusion
7. Severe Anemia due to significant blood loss
8. Intracranial Abscess
9. Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
10. Refractory Osteomyelitis (persistent bone infections)
11. Delayed Radiation Injuries
12. Compromised Grafts and Flaps
13. Acute Thermal Burn Injuries
14. Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Conditions That May Benefit from HBOT (Subject to Physician Evaluation):

• Diabetic Ulcers
• Chronic Wound Healing
• Stroke
• Atherosclerosis
• Peripheral Vascular Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Brain Injuries
• Cerebral Palsy

HBOT in Integrative Health and Recovery

Beyond the primary medical indications, HBOT has demonstrated potential benefits in restoring oxygen-deprived tissues in individuals with demanding lifestyles, such as injured athletes, individuals with high-stress occupations, those with inadequate rest, and individuals seeking anti-aging or post-surgical recovery therapies. However, such applications require thorough evaluation by a medical professional, as they are not part of the standard medical indications for HBOT.
