Underwater hyperbaric treatments
Underwater hyperbaric treatment involves exposing patients to high-pressure environments, often while submerged in water. This therapy increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which can promote healing and improve various medical conditions, such as decompression sickness from diving, certain infections, and wounds that won't heal. The treatment typically occurs in a specialized chamber, where oxygen is administered at pressures greater than sea level. This process helps enhance the body's natural healing processes, reduces inflammation, and can even support the growth of new blood vessels. It is a medically supervised treatment with specific indications and protocols.
