Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is breathing 100% oxygen while under increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT is a treatment that can be traced back to the 1600s. The first well-known chamber was built and run by a British clergyman named Henshaw. He built a structure called the domicilium that was used to treat a multitude of diseases.
What are the benefits of HBOT?
Hyper means increased, and baric refers to pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can increase circulation and oxygenation, allowing the oxygen to build and repair damaged blood vessels, as well as triggering collagen growth, which leads to healing.
The increase in pressure can also reduce swelling, which in turn, increases blood flow. Oxygen also helps the body create new white blood cells, which ultimately helps the body fight off infection.
Over time, the increase of oxygen stimulates angiogenesis, which is new blood vessel formation in the tissues. For Patients who follow a recommended treatment plan, nutrition and wound care, hyperbaric oxygen therapy will speed up the healing process by three to five times.
