Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
HBOT
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment where you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process has shown great success in treating chronic conditions, increasing tissue repair, improving circulation and increasing strength. Below is a list of popular conditions treated. Please contact us for more information on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy benefits.
cognitive Performance
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been shown to deliver significant improvements to cognitive performance in older adults. Improvements in attention and information processed speed were to have improved with the increase in cerebral blood flow in specific areas of the brain related to executive functions.
Athletic Performance
HBOT has been shown to increase endurance and performance in middle-aged athletes. The oxygen promotion given by HBOT has shown improvements to mitochondrial respiriation and mitochondrial mass in regular athletes. Prolonged HBOT sessions have also shown to lead increases in the left and right ventricular systolic function and myocardial performance.
Post Covid-19 Symptoms
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has shown to reduce Covid-19 symptoms from patients still experiencing cognitive and emotional function impairment. HBOT's induced cell repairment and oxygenation abilities have led to increased brain perfusion and neuroplasticity while reducing inflammation. Recent studies have also shown HBOT can promote left ventricular systolic function recovery in patients for those still experiencing cardiac difficulties.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, has shown to have an affect on changes to brain activity and microstructural integrity. HBOT studies have found that regular treatment can enhance neuroplasticty, leading to brain function and structure improvements particulary related to emotional regulation and cognitive function.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Syndrome, or FMS, is a debilitating disorder that affects 2-4% of the U.S. population with a female-to-male ratio of 9:1. FMS affects the central nervous system and is tied to abnormal brain activity leading to the effects of chronic pain. HBOT has shown to improve pain measures, quality of life, emotional and social function through increased brain activity by promoting neuroplasticity.
Post Concussion Syndrome (TBI)
HBOT offers several health benefits for concussions (Traumatic Brain Injuries) by delivering pure oxygen and increased atmospheric pressure within the chamber. This process reduces inflammation and swelling while also activating celebral plasticity, stimulating the growth of new blood cells. HBOT affects also have shown to alleviate cognitive difficulties, memory issues, and mood disturbances
Post Stroke
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been shown to have cogintive and therepeutic benefits to those who've encountered brain injuries. Multiple mechanisms from HBOT such as anti-inflammatory properties, mitochondrial function restoration, proliferation and migration of cells have led to a reduction in overall stroke impairment. Patients found that neurological function, neurological recovery, and sleep patterns have improved post therapy.
