About Healing With Oxygen: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - RMA
Healing With Oxygen: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, offered by Rocky Mountain Air Solutions, provides outpatient treatments using 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This therapy aims to oxygenate the blood, promoting the generation of new blood vessels and aiding in the healing of various ailments. The treatment involves patients breathing pure oxygen within a chamber pressurized to levels greater than sea level for a specified duration. This process allows the body to absorb significantly more oxygen than normal air. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be administered in single-person chambers, where patients lie down in a tube similar to an MRI machine, or in multi-person chambers with reclining chairs. During the procedure, patients typically wear an oxygen mask or hood. The therapy's benefits extend to various patient groups, including athletes seeking to reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from sports-related injuries, as well as elderly patients in nursing homes with bedsores and chronic wounds. HBOT is also recognized for its potential in treating laminitis in horses and supporting the breeding process for mares. The therapy's ability to create new blood vessels and increase the delivery of red and white blood cells contributes to reducing inflammation and reversing the effects of certain diseases. The Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute specializes in brain injuries and chronic wound care. HBOT increases oxygen concentration in the tissues, helping them resist infection and improving the ability of white blood cells to find and destroy invaders. It encourages the formation of new collagen and skin cells by stimulating new blood vessel growth and certain substances needed for healing.
