Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber. This increased pressure allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen, which can help heal damaged tissues, fight infections, and promote overall recovery. HBOT is used for various conditions, including decompression sickness from diving, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain wounds that don’t heal well. By enhancing oxygen supply to the body, HBOT can support the healing process and improve health outcomes under the guidance of trained medical professionals.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increased pressure allows more oxygen to dissolve in the blood, which can enhance healing and fight infections. HBOT is often used for conditions like decompression sickness in divers, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain wounds that won't heal. The therapy typically lasts about 60 to 120 minutes, and patients may experience sensations similar to flying in an airplane due to changes in pressure. It is a safe and effective treatment when used appropriately under medical supervision.
