Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy HBO is a non-invasive treatment that involved the breathing of pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure within a full body chamber. The oxygen saturation promotes the body’s immune system to fight infection as well as stimulates tissue growth to heal wounds more rapidly. It is proven effective for a number different medical and surgical conditions.
During treatment, you rest comfortably in a total body chamber and breath 100% pure oxygen under pressure for 90 -110 minutes. There is no recovery period after treatment. All treatments are supervised by physicians with specialized training in hyperbaric medicine. Most patients recieve 20 to 40 treatments on an outpatient basis. Depending on your medical condition, HBO is sometimes the primary treatment for certain disorders.
