What is HBOT?What is HBOT?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an adjunctive treatment that is increasing in use
as the beneficial effects become apparent to a greater number of patients and caregivers.
Hyperbarics is an emerging medical specialty with more than 200 years of practical use,
a growing scientific database, and a progressively larger following in the medical community.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers 100% oxygen systemically, at pressures
1.5-3 times greater than atmospheric pressure. The patient is entered into a cylindrical,
clear acrylic, treatment chamber, and breathes the ambient (surrounding) oxygen.
This results in "supersaturation" of the blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and soft tissues
with oxygen that may be used for healing purposes.
