Oxygen therapy administered under pressure as in
a Hyperbaric Chamber increases the uptake of oxygen in the body through
increased pressurization, which causes the blood plasma and tissue
fluids to become super saturated with oxygen. The body begins to function
more efficiently as it restores its oxygen balance closer to the natural
range it was originally designed to function with.
A
healthy person's hemoglobin (the red in red blood cells) transports
nearly all of the dissolved oxygen in the bloodstream, very little
oxygen is dissolved in blood plasma.
Whether
you breathe air or pure oxygen, red blood cells can deliver only a
limited level of oxygen to tissue cells. Injuries, infections, or
diseases can cause a drop in this tissue oxygen level down to almost
zero! Areas with a poor blood supply like nerves, bone, tendons, ligaments
and other "white tissue" are notoriously slow healing in
part due to their low oxygen supply. The HBOT chamber causes the body's
plasma to transport oxygen to areas of the body that normally have
very low oxygen supplies.
The
Hyperbaric Chamber, among other benefits, helps reverse the physical
and psychological effects of oxygen deprivation from air- water pollution-
aging. Increasing oxygen helps to eliminate harmful toxic substances
and stimulate capillary growth and tissue repair. Promotes healing
and improves health, fitness, stamina and endurance.
As
we age we loose vital capacity and the ability to effectively obtain
adequate oxygen. Some disease conditions impair oxygen utilization
which can destroy tissue and slows healing. Breathing pure oxygen
under pressure saturates the entire body with dissolved oxygen for
up to 6 hours after the patient leaves the chamber. The benefits of
HBOT can be long lasting and increase quality of life as well as aid
in general wellness.
