Body tissues need oxygen to function, and the air people breathe in is 21% oxygen. HBOT uses a pressurized chamber or tube to raise the air pressure to a level higher than normal. This allows patients to breathe in 100% oxygen and gather up to three times as much oxygen.
In addition to giving tissues the oxygen they need, HBOT has anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial mechanisms, and promotes the healing of infections. HBOT also causes vasoconstriction, sending more oxygen and nutrients to organs that need them.
The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:
• Increased blood flow
• Tissue regeneration
• Promoting stem cell growth
• Preventing viruses
• Preventing bacterial infections
• Enhancing the body’s natural healing process
Our experience at The James Clinic has shown promising results with COVID-19 patients, where we observed stabilization of their oxygen levels and symptom management even in critical cases.
HBOT can be used to treat the following conditions:
• Infections and wounds
• Brain injuries and concussions
• Autism, ADD & ADHD
• Degenerative ailments like Alzheimer’s and Dementia
• Chronic fatigue and Lyme Disease
• Anti-aging efforts
• Tissue regeneration and recovery from athletic injuries
• Stroke rehabilitation
• Performative improvement in athletics
• Pre and post-surgical care
