What Is Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy?
Simply defined, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment that uses filtered ambient air, mixed with a 6 liter flow of 99% prescription medical grade oxygen. This can be used regularly without the danger of oxygen toxicity in the body, under pressure, to speed and enhance the body’s ability to heal. It is a safe, non-invasive, and cost effective therapy . It is safe to say without adequate oxygen reaching injured tissues, no wound can heal. Many diseases of the body do not get better without properly oxygenated tissue. Oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure is available at 21% of total air breathed. Hyperbaric oxygenation treatments deliver increased oxygen to the lungs and other parts of the body, including the plasma, bone, cells, and all body fluids. The only way to increase oxygen to the tissues is through pressure. We know that there is a direct relationship between the pressure of a gas and the amount of said gas that will be absorbed by the tissue. This same principle appl
