Patients & Athletes
In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been found beneficial for various health conditions, athletic performance, anti-aging, and for general wellbeing. By exposing the body to increased levels of oxygen in a pressurized chamber, this non-invasive therapy promotes healing and helps to ease the symptoms of various health conditions.
We explore the topic of who can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy and highlight some of the health conditions which respond well to this innovative therapy.
Who Can Benefit?
Over 120 Conditions
HBOT has developed a successful track record of helping patients who have been diagnosed with numerous conditions, both acute and chronic.
Outside of the FDA-approved uses for HBOT therapy, there are now over 120 internationally recognized Off-Label Indications for which hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be effective and beneficial according to numerous published medical studies.
Children & Young Adults
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can significantly benefit children and young adults who experience certain health conditions. For instance, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has shown positive results in treating autism spectrum disorders by reducing inflammation and enhancing brain function.
Additionally, children with cerebral palsy may experience improvements in motor skills, muscle tone and overall quality of life with the help of HBOT sessions.
HBOT for Adults
Adults of all ages can significantly benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Whether you need support with a chronic illness or interested in regenerative, anti-aging therapies, HBOT can help.
The increase in oxygen levels can stimulate the regenerative and anti-aging processes of the body.
-
Increase Size and Density of Mitochondrial
-
Increase in Mitochondrial Energy Production
-
Decrease in inflammation
-
Increase in Telomere Length
-
Reduction in Senescent/Zombie Cells
-
Angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels),
-
Up to an 8x Increase in Stem Cell Proliferation
-
Increase in Tissue Regeneration and Repair
With 60% of adults suffering with some type of chronic illness, HBOT has developed a successful track record of helping patients who have been diagnosed with numerous conditions.
Outside of the FDA-approved uses for HBOT therapy, there are now over 120 internationally recognized indications for which hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be effective and beneficial according to numerous published medical studies.
HBOT for The Eldery
The elderly population can benefit greatly from hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It's estimated that nearly 7 million Americans are living with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Clinical studies of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy in neurodegenerative diseases shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved cognitive function, memory and quality of life and treated patients also exhibited increased brain activity.
Furthermore, older adults recovering from stroke may experience improved neurological function and cognitive abilities through the stimulation of neuroplasticity induced by HBOT.
HBOT also shows promise as a potential therapy for arthritis symptoms in elderly individuals, potentially reducing pain, inflammation, and improving joint function by enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss, can be mitigated with HBOT. By increasing oxygen supply to the retina, this therapy slows down the progression of AMD and preserve vision.
Another condition commonly seen in older adults is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). HBOT sessions have been shown to improve lung function, reduce shortness of breath, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals living with COPD.
