Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT or HBO) is a painless procedure in which a person is exposed to increased pressure, thus allowing greater absorption of oxygen throughout body tissues.  This increased pressure allows more oxygen to reach the cells within the body therefore contributing to the many healing and therapeutic benefits. The concept of hyperbaric oxygenation has been in existence as early as 1662 but has only gained recognition in conventional medicine over the past 40 years. 

 

How Does Hyperbaric Help in Healing?

Humans can live without oxygen for approximately 5 minutes.  Oxygen is essential to our existence, as evidenced in the numerous conditions caused by oxygen deficiencies in our bodies.  This lack of oxygen results in a dysfunction of organ systems, causing numerous chronic health conditions.  When utilizing HBOT, oxygen is forced into the tissues, organs, brain and fluids throughout the body through the pressurization of the hyperbaric chamber.

·          Oxygen floods areas that are oxygen starved to stimulate cell growth and regeneration.

·         Hyperbaric oxygen increases neural brain function due to oxygen saturation.

·         Oxygen displaces toxins and other impurities to assist in detoxification of your system.

·         Hyperbaric oxygen acts as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial, as bacteria and viruses typically cannot tolerate oxygen.

·         Oxygen reduces tumor growth in cancer patients.

·         Hyperbaric serves as an immune modulator, supporting the immune system to bring T and B cells within normal levels.

·         Hyperbaric oxygen provides many other condition specific benefits.

 

Why Didn’t My Doctor Tell Me About Hyperbaric?

Hyperbaric therapy is not typically covered by insurance for “off-label” uses, therefore most doctors are unable to recommend the therapy because of contractual obligations with insurance companies.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to treat numerous conditions as an “off-label” use, many of which are documented with scientific evidence that is stronger than that of the FDA approved conditions.  Nearly all medical clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals use FDA-approved drugs and medical devices for “off-label” use on a consistent basis.  Physicians will direct patients to hospitals with hyperbaric chambers for conditions, which are approved by the FDA for treatment.  These conditions include:

 

·         Air or Gas Embolism

·         Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

·         Gas Gangrene

·         Crush Injury/ Acute Trauma

·         Diabetic Foot Ulcers

·         Decompression Sickness

·         Selected Problem Wounds

·         Necrotizing Soft Tissue

·         Osteomyelitis (Refractory)

·         Radiation Tissue Damage

·         Severe Anemia

·         Skin Grafts and Flaps

·         Thermal Burns

Research utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment for a multitude of conditions strongly supports its effectiveness.  Hyperbaric is more consistently used for treatment in most other countries, and is considered a main course of therapy, prescribed to patients with many conditions before any other therapy is recommended.
