Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is impeccable to speed up the healing of gangrene, wounds that won’t heal, carbon monoxide poisoning, and infections in which tissues are starving for oxygen. For this therapy, you enter an exclusive Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber to breathe in pure oxygen in air pressure levels 1.5 to 3 times higher than average. The primary goal of this treatment is to fill the blood with enough oxygen to repair tissues and restore normal body functions.

This therapy was first used in the US in the early 20th century. It was tried again in the 1940s by the US navy to treat deep sea divers who had decompression sickness. By the early 1960s, HBOT was also used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning. It is still known to relieve sick scuba divers and people with carbon monoxide poisoning, including miners and firefighters.

This treatment can be helpful in conditions like cyanide poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, crush injuries, decompression sickness, reduced blood flow in the arteries, gangrene, compromised skin graft, flaps, etc. Further, we will discuss the benefits of the Hyperbaric Chamber.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

1. Reduced Inflammation:The therapy creates an oxygen-rich environment that increases blood flow and brings much-needed oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to inflamed and swollen tissues. Studies show that Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber offers marked improvements in patients suffering from severe swelling and inflammation. So, we can say that this treatment helps reduce swelling and inflammation, particularly in the extremities. 
2. Boost Immune System:The high oxygen environment of the chamber can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your body’s natural immune response. Studies have shown its ability to reduce auto-immune symptoms like lymphadenopathy and erythema. It may be a significant choice for those suffering from reduced immune system function and auto-immune disorders. It is always better to take this therapy after consulting with your physician.
3. Treats Cancer:According to estimates, almost 40% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Often cancer treatment includes chemotherapy or radiation therapy. There is evidence that Hyperbaric Chamber Therapy may inhibit the growth of some tumors. Plus, it may alleviate the side effects of treatments like chemotherapy and help your body to heal quickly from radiation treatments.
4. Fight Nerve Pains: Many people suffer chronic nerve pain or neuropathy. Individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies and poor circulation are all at high risk. This therapy can aid the body’s healing process and reduce neuropathy symptoms. Studies show that HBOT can offer improvement in patients suffering from neuropathy caused by diabetes. Patients may even see re-growth of peripheral nerves. 
5. Wound Healing:Open wounds, especially in patients with low immunity, can be severe. Studies showed that HBOT provides extra oxygen to your body to heal itself.

Moreover, millions of people each year suffer from traumatic brain injury after falls or slips, accidents, and other injuries. This condition can be hard to treat. But recent studies have shown that Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber effectively treats traumatic brain injuries. After treatments, the sufferer showed improved blood flow and other benefits.
