How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works?
During HBOT, a patient is consistently given 100% pure, pressurized oxygen. The chief mechanism involved here is called Hyper Oxygenation. As a patient is immersed in this pure form of oxygen, his/her body tissues are under pressure to soak up the enhanced levels of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen enters the blood stream causing a series of biological reactions that help mitigate the pain and treat the condition.
The benefits of undergoing HBOT includes:
Improve blood circulation by stimulating new blood cell development
Encourages white blood cells to fight infection
Constrict some blood vessels, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation
Prevents the growth of foreign organisms and bacteria
