ARTHRITIS + HYPERBARICS

Recent studies are showing that HBOT has demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce inflammation throughout the body. This is done through the higher levels of oxygen being driven through the plasma.

ARTHRITIS + HYPERBARICS

Inflammation is an incredibly common side effect of numerous medical conditions, and coincides with nearly all types of injuries to the body. Most of us have likely felt inflammation a time or two!

Unfortunately, there are certain conditions and diseases that can result in chronic inflammation, including arthritis, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis, autism, cancer, stroke, diabetes, TBIs, and many others.

Recent studies are showing that HBOT has demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce inflammation throughout the body. This is done through the higher levels of oxygen being driven through the plasma.

​

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help manage arthritis symptoms by increasing oxygen levels in the blood, promoting healing, reducing inflammation and pain, and potentially slowing the progression of joint damage. 

The International Hyperbarics Association lists these as demonstrated benefits of HBOT for inflammation:

Joint Pain

HOW HBOT CAN HELP

Support Anti-Inflammatory Process at the Cellular Level With HBOT:

  • Decreases acute/chronic inflammation

  • Minimizes pain and discomfort

  • Reduces swelling

  • Induces fibroblast activation

  • Increases anti-inflammatory cytokines

Reduce Neuroinflammation With HBOT:

  • Ameliorates autism symptoms

  • Reduces risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease

  • Supports the prevention and treatment of stroke

Decrease Gastrointestinal Inflammation With HBOT:

  • Remediates inflammatory bowel disease

  • Improves nutrition absorption

  • Ameliorates ulcerative colitis

Relieve Soft Tissue/Joint Inflammation With HBOT:

  • Remediates osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

  • Ameliorates tendinitis

  • Accelerates recovery from sports-related and high-impact injuries

Prevent the Onset of Chronic Inflammatory-Related Diseases With HBOT:

  • Attenuates cancer risk and progression

  • ​Ameliorates diabetic conditions linked to inflammation

  • Reduces risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes
