About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100% oxygen at a pressure that is greater than what you normally experience.
- Wounds need oxygen to heal properly, and exposing a wound to 100% oxygen can, in some cases, speed the healing process.
- Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells.
- With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all of the body's fluids, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and the bone and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked.
- In this way, extra oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues and the body can support its own healing process.
The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.
