Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy entails breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-known treatment to help with decompression sickness, which is a potential risk of scuba diving. Other conditions that can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that may not fully heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury and recovery after surgery, although hyperbaric oxygen treatments at ALAN Wellness Center are prescribed for Anti-Aging.

During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in the chamber, the air pressure will be increased two or three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions in the chamber, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible when breathing normally with pure oxygen at normal air pressure.

When your blood is able to carry this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps to fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which can help to promote healing.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy’s painless procedure enhances the natural healing process within the body. This therapy not only helps with a variety of medical conditions but also helps to accelerate the healing from surgeries, sports, or other injuries, prevention of damaged tissue, and the reduction of the effects from environmental toxins, although, ALAN Wellness Center prescribes this therapy for Anti-Aging.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for several different medical conditions and in medical institutions, it is highly recommended if you have one of the following conditions:
 
– Brain abscess
– Burns
– Bubbles of air within the blood vessels
– Severe anemia
– Carbon monoxide poisoning
– Sudden deafness
– Crushing injury
– Gangrene
– Decompression sickness
– Wounds that refuse to heal, including diabetic foot ulcers
– Radiation injuries
– Skin or bone infections that tend to cause tissue death
– Traumatic brain injury
– Sudden, painless vision loss
– Skin flap or a graft that is at risk of tissue death
 
One session will not help much, you will need more than one session to see the full benefits that hyperbaric oxygen therapy will provide. The number of sessions you will need will be fully dependent on the medical condition which you are dealing with. There are a few conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning that may be treated in fewer visits, while others like non-healing wounds may need far more.
 
To effectively treat all medical conditions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used in combination with a specific treatment plan that will be provided by our therapists to fit your individual needs.

The body needs an adequate supply of oxygen to continue to function. When the tissue is injured, it will need more oxygen to survive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy will increase the amount of oxygen that is carried in the blood. When you continue with repeated scheduled treatments, the temporary extra high oxygen levels will continue to encourage normal tissue oxygen levels, even after the therapy has been completed, you will continue to see many benefits.
 
The many benefits that hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides to our patients include:
 
– Increasing neuronal energy metabolism within the brain
– Creates sustained cognitive improvement
– Helps to wake up idling brain cells that are metabolizing to stay active
– Enhances the body’s ability to fight off viral and bacterial infections
– Deactivates poisons and toxins due to side effects from chemotherapy, air pollution, spider bites, etc.
– Enhances the ability to heal wounds by stimulating the capillaries near the injured area
– Creates immediate aerobic state
– Removes any free radicals
– Reduces any tissue swelling
– Acts as an anti-inflammatory

After your hyperbaric oxygen chamber experience, you will begin to feel tired, pain may occur within your sinuses, ears, and the feeling of fluid build-up behind the ears, all of which is normal. Some patients may feel claustrophobic while they are in the chamber, being confined can often make the most relaxed individuals anxious. As well, you may experience finger numbness or vision changes; however, all of this will subside during or after the treatment. We will go over this with you before your appointment, so you are aware of the symptoms that you will feel during and after your hyperbaric chamber experience.
