MILD HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (mHBOT)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is absorbed into circulation when we breathe and transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. Under pressure, oxygen can be dissolved into all of the body’s fluids, the plasma, the lymphatic system, the central nervous system fluids, and the bone. This allows us to dissolve, transport and deliver many more times the normal oxygen to our tissues and cells
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the quality of life of the patient in many areas. Many conditions such as PTSD and stroke have responded favorably to hyperbaric treatment.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. In many cases, such as circulatory problems and non-healing wounds, adequate oxygen cannot easily reach the damaged area.
Oxygen can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach the damaged tissues helping the body to support its own healing process. The increased oxygen 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.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is safe and effective and provides this extra oxygen absorption with minimal side effects.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SESSION?
After getting comfortable in the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber, a staff member will zip it up closed and begin the pressurization process. The process takes approximately 10 minutes and can be sped up or slowed down depending on your comfort level. While pressurizing, you may notice pressure in your ears and they may pop similarly to flying in an air plane or going up in altitude. The staff member will remain with you throughout the pressurization process to insure you are comfortable the entire time.
Once fully pressurized, we will start the clock for your 60 minute session.
When your session ends, a staff member will once again come in and start the depressurization process. This will also take approximately 10 minutes and you may notice the same feeling in your ears as you did while pressurizing.
