What are the Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Breathing 100% oxygen at approximately 2 atmospheres of pressure increases the amount of oxygen a patient normally breathes by ten to twenty times.  This results in a 10-15 fold increase in plasma oxygen concentration in the blood producing a significant increase in the diffusing distance of oxygen from functioning capillaries, extending blood/oxygen flow and stimulating new capillary growth for healing
 
 
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a number of distinct therapeutic effects.  
 
       The increased oxygen delivery to injured tissues:-
 
  • Stops further tissue damage.
  • Prevents and/or reduces infection.
  • Reduces swelling.
  • Improves immune system response.
  • Improves blood vessel formation.
  • Promotes wound healing.
  • Increases bone recovery.
  •  Eliminates toxic substances.
  • Reduces effects from toxic substances.
  • Increases the effect of some antibiotics.
