Unlock Healing Potential at Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy Centers

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offers a unique method of elevating oxygen intake in the body by entering a pressurized chamber. A non-invasive and effective treatment option for various health conditions, hyperbaric chamber therapy is an advanced therapeutic solution for any therapy center. In this article, we at Oxygen Health Systems discuss the science behind HBOT, its benefits, the conditions that can be treated by HBOT, how HBOT works in therapy centers, and the key features of our hyperbaric chambers for therapy.

Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Healing

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment where patients breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber known as a hyperbaric chamber. During treatment, oxygen levels in the body are increased 10 to 15 times higher than normal, which has been shown to promote healing and revitalize tissue.

ATA defines the amount of pressurization within a hyperbaric chamber and refers to atmospheres of pressure. For example, 1 ATA equals around the same pressure as being 10 feet under water. During HBOT, the patient sits in a pressurized chamber to receive 100 percent oxygen at more than 1 ATA. In most cases, studies have shown 1.3 to 1.5 ATA to be the appropriate level of pressurization to meet a patient’s needs.

So what does this all mean for the body? Blood is made up of three main components: white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen and plasma, and the fluid that carries both kinds of cells throughout the body. Under normal circumstances, the red cells carry the majority of oxygen while the plasma carries about 3% of oxygen.

Since HBOT forces oxygen into the body fluids under pressure, more oxygen is dissolved into the plasma, greatly increasing the oxygen levels. The fluids then carry the extra oxygen throughout the body. By enabling a greater amount of oxygen to reach damaged tissues, HBOT fuels the body’s repair mechanisms, enhancing the natural healing process.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy

The increase in oxygen and the higher than normal air pressure that hyperbaric chamber therapy entails can lead to a whole host of benefits for patients. Some of those standout benefits include:

• Accelerated wound healing. Injury damages the body’s blood vessels, which allows fluid to leak into tissue and cause swelling that deprives cells of oxygen. HBOT increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, enhancing the body’s ability to regenerate cells and form new tissue.
• Tissue regeneration. Oxygen-saturated blood expedites the regrowth of damaged tissues, so HBOT encourages new blood vessels to grow, resulting in the formation of new collagen and new skin cells.
• Reduction of inflammation. Several medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, can cause inflammation. By heightening the oxygen supply, HBOT reduces inflammation at the cellular level, promoting faster healing.
• Enhanced recovery from surgical procedures. HBOT allows additional oxygen to reach  less-reachable areas of the body, which helps limit painful bruising, swelling, and infection after the procedure. Treatment also boosts the immune system and reduces the need for pain medications.

Conditions Addressed with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

HBOT offers immense versatility in treating both acute and chronic health conditions. This therapy can be used to treat, among others, the following conditions:

• Diabetic ulcers
• Non-healing wounds
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Radiation injury
• Chronic infection, bone infection, necrotizing soft tissue infection
• Cyanide poisoning
• Decompression sickness
• Compromised skin grafts
• Crush injury
• Gangrene
• Severe anemia

The Process of Hyperbaric Therapy Sessions

Before starting hyperbaric chamber therapy, patients undergo a thorough evaluation that should cover medical history, current health, and specific issues that can be addressed via HBOT. This will ensure that the patient’s treatment plan in hyperbaric chamber therapy centers are tailored to their needs.

Once a treatment plan is determined, the patient can begin HBOT. During a session, the patient is placed inside a hyperbaric chamber that is then sealed and pressurized, and they will be breathing pure oxygen while being able to relax. Sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes, but time can be increased depending on the treatment plan. While a patient is in a chamber, a healthcare professional will oversee the session and monitor patient progress. For multiplace chambers, a healthcare professional can be in the chamber with the patient to provide assistance and comfort.

Patients may feel lightheaded immediately following treatment, and aftercare may involve monitoring vital signs and evaluating the patient’s response to the therapy. Depending on the treatment plan, follow-up sessions may be necessary.
