HOW DOES HBOT WORK?
Under normal circumstances, when we breathe oxygen it is absorbed into circulation and transported throughout the body only by red blood cells.
During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, oxygen is under pressure where it can be dissolved into all of the body’s fluids, the plasma, the lymphatic system, the central nervous system fluids, and the bone. This allows up to 15x more oxygen than normal to be dissolved, transported and delivered into our tissues and cells.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the quality of life of the patient in many areas. There are currently 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.
WHY DOES HBOT WORK?
It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. In many cases, such as circulatory problems, trauma, infections, and non-healing wounds, adequate oxygen cannot easily reach the damaged area.
Through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, oxygen can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach the damaged tissues helping the body to support its own natural healing process.
The increased oxygen levels enhance the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe and effective and provides this extra oxygen absorption with minimal side effects.
Oxygen
THE BRAIN'S ESSENTIAL RESOURCE
The brain serves as the central hub of your body, requiring a significant amount of oxygen to function optimally. Although it constitutes only 2% of total body weight, the brain consumes more than 20% of the oxygen we inhale.
As we age, our bodies may become less adept at delivering this vital oxygen, which could explain the perceived decline in mental and physical agility. However, this decline is not inevitable.
Recent scientific studies indicate that it is possible to sustain, and even restore, optimal physical and cognitive abilities. The Aviv Medical Program was established in alignment with these findings.
