About Hyperbaric Medicine
Parkridge Health System, located in Greater Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a noninvasive technique to help the body repair tissue and restore optimal function. During HBOT, patients breathe 100% oxygen under pressure, which saturates blood plasma to 20 times the normal level, allowing oxygenated blood to reach diseased tissue more effectively. This creates a highly oxygenated environment that builds new blood vessels, decreases painful edema, and invigorates healing mechanisms while killing harmful bacteria and neutralizing tissue-destroying oxygen free radicals. Parkridge Medical Center has been recognized as one of America's Best Hospitals by Healthgrades, placing it in the top 5% of hospitals nationwide for overall clinical performance.
