Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Recover Faster with HBOT
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has many beneficial uses due to oxygen’s uses in cells for energy and repair. HBOT is being used by many professional athletes to help them get back into action much quicker. Recently Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the NY Jets, suffered an achilles tendon rupture. He reportedly used HBOT as part of his rehabilitation plan. Other NFL quarterbacks, for example, Kirk Cousins is also known to use HBOT for recovery and recuperation after games. HBOT is great for any injuries but is often used for more severe injuries induced trauma or surgery...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that provides high amounts of oxygen to cellular tissue. Due to certain laws of chemistry and physics, the pressure is what differentiates this therapy from standard oxygen therapy using an oxygen tank or concentrator. Under pressure, oxygen gas is compressed into smaller molecules (Boyle’s Law) allowing concentrated amounts of oxygen to dissolve in liquid plasma. This high concentration of oxygen then travels to low areas of oxygen in the tissues (Henry’s Law).

The prevalence of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, are on the rise in the United States. Nearly 60-80% of all cases of dementia in the elderly population originated from Alzheimer’s Disease. Unfortunately, there is no current cure or effective treatment that slows the progression of this complex and devastating disease. Therefore, alternative treatments that specifically target the function of the brain is important. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown to not only improve neurological functions and quality of life, but recent studies have found that HBOT can ameliorate Alzheimer’s Disease-related pathologies.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has many benefits in tissue healing. HBOT increases the amount of oxygen saturated in plasma regardless of red blood cell saturation percentage. The pressure assists in driving the oxygen through all tissue and especially where circulation may be compromised due to trauma or injury. Since oxygen provides energy, the cells can start repairing and rebuilding. The pressure also helps to close surgical wounds which can help reduce infection and scarring. Treatments such as mastectomy, tumor removal, and radiation therapy can cause damage to normal tissue and may lead to infection, burns, inflammation, and swelling or lymphedema. Multiple human studies have found benefit in the U.S. of HBOT for post surgical healing, radiation induced tissue damage, and radiation induced lymphedema.

As we get older how do we combat the natural effects of the aging process? First, we have to look at some of the main factors that cause the symptoms of aging and degeneration. These symptoms include fatigue, muscle weakness or muscle loss, reduced stamina and endurance, poor memory and cognition, and chronic inflammation and pain. Many of these symptoms are inter-related and do not always have a singular cause. Addressing some of the root causes can start to reverse aging symptoms and therefore slow the aging process. Let’s look at what happens at the cellular level as we age…
