Why Isn’t Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy More Prevalent?

Charlottesville Hyperbarics | How DoCharlottesville Hyperbarics | How Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy So Versatile and Effective

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy include:

Improved Immune Function
Antiviral/Antibacterial

Boosts white blood cell counts. White blood cells help fight and prevent disease by making antibodies that attack bacteria and toxins, helping to destroy infected or cancerous cells, and identifying and eliminating pathogens.

Accelerated Tissue Healing

 

Oxygen is our most essential nutrient, crucial for proper and efficient healing of most injuries. Hyperbaric therapy significantly increases oxygenation of the body’s tissues, helping your body to heal itself in profound ways.

Increased Stem Cell Production

 

Stem cells replace specialized cells in your body that are damaged or lost. By increasing stem cell production by over 800%, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can vastly accelerate  healing.

Increased Blood Flow

Increase blood flow and circulation through new blood vessel growth via a process called angiogenesis. Blood flow is crucial for healing and for optimal organ function.

Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation has been shown to be at the root of most chronic disease. Oxygen under pressure activates genes that reduce inflammation and promote profound healing.

Reduce Pain

By increasing oxygenation of the body’s tissues, increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can greatly reduce pain and support healing.
