Description

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a widely used treatment worldwide, used for recovery and general well-being. The treatment involves breathing oxygen in a windowed oxygen tank at elevated air pressure.

At normal pressure, oxygen is transported to the cells bound to hemoglobin.

In pressurized air, the main oxygen pathway remains the same, but in addition, oxygen is also dissolved in the blood plasma. This increases the oxygen supply to tissues and cells. Oxygen can also be transported to damaged cells, promoting their healing process.

EFFECTS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used, for example, to relieve stress, speed up recovery from stress and injuries, reduce low-grade inflammation in the body, and restore energy levels.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy creates an optimal environment for the body’s own repair mechanisms, which can promote tissue healing, improve immunity and increase well-being.

During the treatment, you can relax in a comfortable position, lie down, be with your own thoughts or even read a book. During the treatment, you can communicate with the care provider using the intercom in the tank.
