What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Traditionally HBOT has been used for wound care and more recently diabetic foot wounds, air and gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke inhalation, gas gangrene, thermal burns, decompression sickness, and acute mountain sickness. Today it is more accepted in many forms of sickness and disfunctions. We can help treat everything from diabetes, low energy, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy, head injuries, brain injuries (TBI), Chronic fatigue, MS, ALS, anemia, wound and scar healing, post-stroke care, post surgical care and healing, sports performance, autism, dementia, and bells palsy just to touch on a few.

Under normal human functions, oxygen is absorbed into circulation when we breathe and only transported through the body by red blood cells. Under higher atmospheric pressure that hyperbarics can provide, oxygen can be dissolved into the body's plasma, lymphatic system, the central nervous system fluids and bone tissue. This allows for the delivery of many more times the normal oxygen to our tissues and cells allowing for healing processes that may be compromised in a lower oxygen level environment.
Primary Benefits of HBOT
- Immediate increase in free floating oxygen
- New blood vessel growth
- Increased white blood cell function
- Nerve healing factors
- Wound healing
- Stem cell release
- Decrease swelling from damaged tissues
- Mitochondrial healing
- Reduction of inflammation
- Anti-microbial/microbiome balancing
