What Are Hyperbaric Chamber Benefits?

What if you were told that a simple and abundant material could expedite the process of healing wounds; that the same mysterious compound could assist the curing of injuries and various medical conditions; and that the same agent is capable of improving overall cognitive function and physical performance, both in healthy young individuals and aging ones? Well, you might be surprised to know that you're already familiar with this material – and it's called oxygen.

Yes, this basic element that is found in the air we breathe, the one that is taken for granted on a regular basis, is the one that holds one of the most powerful attributes and qualities with respect to the human body and the miraculous mechanism by which it operates.

How could oxygen possibly account for all of the aforementioned phenomena? Let's take a quick peek into the world of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): HBOT is a novel treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room, using a varying atmospheric pressure levels to help the body absorb an extensive amount of oxygen. The air pressure is increased to three times higher than normal air pressure inside the oxygen chamber, to facilitate highly increased oxygen intake. The elevated oxygen levels that are then obtained, stimulate massive oxygen absorption into the tissues, which in turn invokes molecular cascades that result in tissue rejuvenation.

The best question to ask by now is, what is this technology good for? We've gathered some of the most prominent hyperbaric chamber benefits:

1. Hyperbaric chambers facilitate and promote the healing process of deep wounds. It decreases edma (swelling) because it stimulates better circulation.
2. Tissue hyper-oxygenation that is elicited due to the treatment is known to promote healing processes and self-rejuvenation as well.
3. HBOT has been shown to be helpful in cases of anemia due to severe blood loss.
4. Growth factors are stimulated due to the bloodstream oxygen saturation. Growth factors are a naturally occurring substances that are capable of stimulating cell proliferation and wound healing.
5. HBOT treatment may ease the inflammatory response in patients with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
6. Shortened recovery time can be achieved using HBOT chambers, as shown in NFL players' recovery tracking record.
7. Efficient in cases of osteomyelitis, a bone marrow infection, and in cases of acute traumatic ischemia.
8. Found to be helpful in treating a radiation injury, for example, as a result of cancer treatment.
9. Rapid regeneration of the skin, which gives it an improved elasticity and overall look.
10. Improved brain function, including overall cognitive performance.
11. Better physical shape and function, in aging individuals as well.

Finally, before jumping in, it's important to notice that different treatment goals entail different HBOT protocols and different personalized programs. Thus, it is extremely important to consult in advance with one of the licensed experts at the different globally distributed and specialized hyperbaric centers. Your medical record should be carefully examined and considered in advance, and a specific program needs to be tailored to ensure maximal efficiency and optimal results.
