How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) work?
Enhance your body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled.
Used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.
What HBOT does to help
1
Greatly enhances your body's natural healing processes.
2
Dissolves into your body's fluids, nervous system & bone
3
Oxygen is carried to areas where circulation is blocked or diminished.
4
Reduces swelling and inflammation throughout the entire body.
5
Increases growth of new blood vessels and nerve endings.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED?
Improve Health with Expedited Recovery
The air you are breathing right now is 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and other mixed gases. During HBOT, you are breathing 99.993% pure medical grade oxygen.
There are many conditions that can be treated with HBOT to improve health outcomes. The conditions covered by OHIP include:
- Enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds (such as diabetic foot ulcerls)
- Delayed radiation injury (such as injury to the bladder or gut after cancer therapy)
- Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (idiopathic)
- Exceptional blood loss
- Air or gas embolism
- Carbon monoxide poisoning and/or cyanide poisoning (from inhaling smoke or car exhaust)
- Gas gangrene (clostridial myositis and myonecrosis)
- Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias (such as frostbite)
- Decompression sickness (“the bends”)
- Intracranial abscess
- Necrotizing soft tissue infections (flesh eating disease)
- Osteomyelitis (bone infection)
- Skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
- Thermal burns
