Hyperbaric

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

This is a treatment used to treat many kinds of illnesses. It may be the primary treatment for some disorders, but it is often used as part of a combined program involving other therapies. A pressurized chamber is necessary to provide HBOT.

When oxygen is delivered to a client in a hyperbaric chamber, it greatly increases the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to body tissues by the blood. All of the benefits provided by hyperbaric oxygen therapy are directly the result of this extra oxygen being carried within the bloodstream. Some of the benefits of HBOT are:

Increase oxygen delivery to injured tissues
Increase blood vessel formation
Advance wound healing
Aid in the preservation of damaged tissues
Assist in the elimination of toxic substances
Reduce effects from toxic substances

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a simple, painless way of delivering high does of oxygen to the body. Patients breathe 100% oxygen while they are pressurized in a chamber. Pure oxygen is administered through the use of a plastic hood or plastic mouth covering and inhaled for 60 minutes. This non-invasive therapy significantly increases oxygen levels in the body in order to improve certain conditions such as, but not limited to the following:

Cerebral Palsy
Traumatic Brain Injury
Autism
Brain, Eye and Nervous System Disorders
Sports Injuries
Lyme Disease
Stroke
Multiple Sclerosis

Benefits we saw:

After Melissa received 40 treatments of HBOT she had no more grand mal seizures, better forward head and body control, better mouth control-being able to suck out of a bottle and started eating solids, she started gaining weight when she had been losing weight before, she gained 100% eyesight-where as before there were times when she couldn’t see as her brain was not processing what the eyes were seeing. Some smiling where there was none before.
