What is
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mild HBOT) involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Because of the increased pressure, oxygen loads not only the red blood cells but the plasma as well, allowing the increased oxygen to deeply penetrate the body’s tissues. It boosts cell growth by delivering increased amounts of oxygen to blood, tissues, and organs. Increased oxygen accelerates bone, skin, and muscle regeneration, helps the body fight infections more effectively, and has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. In essence, hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates the healing process, strengthens and normalizes the immune system, and allows body functions to improve.
Recognized
Diagnoses & Conditions
There are a number of FDA recognized diagnoses and conditions treatable with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as follows:
-
Conditions resulting from cancer treatments and radiation damage
-
Infections in tissue, muscle, bone, or skin, including drug resistant infections
-
Sores and gangrene that will not heal or that are related to diabetes
-
Surgical sites with grafts or flaps
-
Bones and/or tissues that are difficult to heal
-
Acute severe problems from accidents (e.g. crushed leg, arm, fingers)
-
Rare conditions such as decompression sickness, anemia, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, or emboli from air or gas
-
Swelling of the brain, cerebral edema
What to expect
At your appointment
Our hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers offer relatively large, comfortable, bright spaces to relax in during treatment. Inside the chamber you lie down, sit or stretch/exercise, in your own clothing--cotton is preferable. Bring a book to read, an iPod to listen to music, cards, or a tablet or laptop--free WIFI is available. NO pencils or ink pens allowed. Session length lasts from about one hour to ninety minutes. Treatment plans addressing chronic and neurological issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme disease, or traumatic brain injury may require 30-40 sessions. Treatment plans for optimizing surgical outcomes or enhancing athletic performance may consist of 10-20 sessions.
Contraindications
& Side Effects
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy is painless and non-invasive, with possible minor, mild side effects. Please be aware that one possible side effect that may occur at the beginning and/or end of treatment (during compression and decompression) is a sensation of fullness in your ears, which can be alleviated by yawning. The sensation is very similar to taking-off and landing in an airplane. For those who may be claustrophobic, we suggest bringing an iPod/iPad to provide a distraction.
