Why Would I Consider Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
As a patient trying to reduce post-operative swelling or as an athlete trying to accelerate the healing process of an injured limb, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an excellent option for a variety of patients. Familiar to divers, hyperbaric oxygen chambers are traditionally used to treat decompression sickness. These chambers make use of the idea that increased overall pressure is therapeutic by increasing the oxygen transport capacity of the blood to downstream tissues.
This form of treatment is steadily gaining recognition as its benefits are explored. Reported benefits include the removal of free radicals, reduction of inflammation, decreased strength of bacterial and viral infections, and enhanced wound healing; currently, studies are being conducted to explore the benefits of Arizona hyperbaric oxygen therapy on autism and other cognitive disorders.
What to Expect
During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, you will enter a hyperbaric chamber and breathe one hundred percent oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Some patients experience discomfort in their ears, namely the need to “pop” them due to the increased pressure in the chamber. A consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended in order to see if hyperbaric oxygen therapy can benefit you.
