About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that enhances the body's natural healing process by delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, helping to repair tissues and restore normal body function. It is used to speed up healing of carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, and wounds that won't heal. It is also used for infections in which tissues are starved for oxygen. The increased oxygen levels help stimulate new blood vessel growth, promote healthy tissue development, fight certain infections, improve circulation, reduce swelling, and enhance the body's natural wound-healing process. HBOT is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, radiation injuries, or other conditions that impair the body's natural ability to heal.
