Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

---

HBOT involves exposing the body to increased atmospheric pressure while breathing pure oxygen. This process saturates the blood with higher-than-normal oxygen levels, promoting healing and repair through anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.  

Historically, HBOT has been employed to treat specific conditions such as cancer, diabetic skin ulcers, and decompression diving injuries. Recent research indicates potential benefits of HBOT for a broader range of conditions, including neurocognitive diseases (e.g., dementia and autism), musculoskeletal injuries, and anti-aging. HBOT is used in conjunction with other services to enhance peak performance and recovery, contribute to skin rejuvenation, and support anti-aging efforts.  Our packages offer a comprehensive approach, combining HBOT with other services to address diverse health and wellness goals.  

We understand that mental health is just as important as physical health. HBOT offers benefits for a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, autism and dementia.

Affliction with a chronic condition reflects chronic inflammation for which HBOT is beneficial in treating. Conditions such as arthritis, skin ulcers, soft tissue injuries, post-surgical wound healing and recovery may all benefit from the anti-oxidative therapy that HBOT offers.

In the short term, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) enhances oxygen delivery through vasoconstriction, leading to reduced edema, improved neutrophil phagocytic function to mitigate infection, anti-inflammatory effects, and mitigation of ischemia–reperfusion injury. With repeated administration over longer periods, HBOT induces neovascularization, neoangiogenesis, and stimulates collagen production by fibroblasts. These effects contribute to the rehabilitation of injured muscles during the inflammatory and proliferative phases of recovery.

The most significant impact of HBOT, beyond increasing oxygen supply to tissues, lies in its ability to generate free radicals within a therapeutic range for cell signaling. By inducing oxidative stress through controlled production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, HBOT activates cellular processes and pathways, as highlighted in ACSM, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) fosters the production of new collagen and skin cells by immersing the body in a 100% oxygen environment. This process facilitates the growth of new blood vessels and prompts cells to generate substances like vascular endothelial growth factors. These factors attract and stimulate specific cell types essential for the healing process.
