Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing 100% oxygen at pressures greater than double the normal atmospheric pressure. This is typically done in a specially designed chamber that can increase the atmospheric pressure.
The benefits of HBOT to tissues or organs in the human body come from the increased oxygen delivery to these tissues or organs. Under normal conditions, oxygen is carried in the bloodstream and delivered to tissues and organs at a certain level. However, in some medical conditions, such as certain types of infections, wounds, or injuries, the body may not be able to deliver enough oxygen to the affected tissues.
By increasing the atmospheric pressure and breathing pure oxygen, HBOT can deliver more oxygen to these tissues and organs. This can promote the healing and regeneration of tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
At Longeva, we utilize Hyperbaric Oxygenation in combination with other treatments to accelerate and boost the synergistic effects of other therapies with HBOT therapy.
Treatment of Certain Infections
HBOT has been used to treat certain types of infections, such as those caused by bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Reduced Inflammation
HBOT has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the body.
Increased Oxygen Delivery
HBOT can increase the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues throughout the body, which can promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Improved Symptoms of Certain Medical Conditions
HBOT has been shown to improve symptoms of certain medical conditions, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, radiation injury, and some neurological conditions.
Promotion of Blood Vessel Growth
HBOT has been shown to promote the growth of new blood vessels and accelerate wound healing in people with certain types of injuries and wounds.
