What is Hyperbaric Therapy?<\/p>\n

Hyperbaric therapy consists of a person breathing high doses of oxygen in a hyperbaric or pressurized environment. By breathing enriched oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber, the availability of oxygen in the blood plasma is increased, thus generating a variety of beneficial physiological effects, as it allows more oxygen to reach the brain, cartilage, bones, and tissues. This is particularly beneficial to areas in the body that are restricted due to swelling or infection, or other causes of poor circulation. The chamber takes you up to 1.4 ATM and thus is classified as a mild hyperbaric chamber.<\/p>\n

What to expect.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You book an hour long session. Multiple sessions are usually required in order to see positive results, these can vary from daily to weekly sessions, depending on the indication for treatment.<\/p>\n

During a session, you will sit or lie down in the chamber. You can read, scan your cell phone or work on your laptop while in the chamber.<\/p>\n

The air pressure will be gradually\u00a0increased to 1.4 ATMs. You will wear a mask that you get to keep for your next session. \u00a0Oxygen at 90% pure passes through the mask.<\/p>\n
