What is Hyperbaric Therapy?
Hyperbaric Therapy, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), involves breathing pure oxygen in a controlled environment with increased atmospheric pressure. This therapy elevates oxygen levels in the blood, promoting healing and boosting overall health.
Definition
In simple terms, during hyperbaric therapy, you breathe 100% oxygen at higher pressures than normal air pressure. This significant boost in oxygen concentration leads to its enhanced circulation through your blood and tissues, offering therapeutic benefits.
How it Works
Under normal conditions, your lungs collect oxygen from the air, which then travels through your bloodstream to tissues. In a hyperbaric chamber, pressure increases the oxygen concentration in your blood, allowing oxygen to reach areas with limited supply. This influx of oxygen helps stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, enhance immune function, and promote tissue repair by supporting angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Therapy at Henry Chiropractic
At Henry Chiropractic, you can experience a variety of health improvements through hyperbaric therapy. The therapy is a great fit if you want to enhance your body’s natural healing, reduce inflammation, or even help chronic conditions improve.
Enhanced Healing
One of the key benefits of hyperbaric therapy is its ability to boost the body’s natural healing processes. With increased oxygen supply, tissues repair faster, and wounds heal more effectively. This means quicker recovery from injuries and surgeries.
Reduction of Inflammation
Inflammation can be your body’s response to injury or chronic health issues. Hyperbaric therapy reduces inflammation by improving oxygen delivery to tissues, helping your body recover more efficiently and feel better overall.
Boosted Immune Function
Your immune system works constantly to protect you from infections and diseases. With hyperbaric therapy, your immune function can be significantly improved, as the therapy enhances the body’s natural defense mechanisms and helps blood flow more efficiently.
Angiogenesis
The growth of new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis, is crucial for wound healing and tissue regeneration. Hyperbaric therapy promotes this process by increasing oxygen levels in blood, supporting quicker and more effective recovery.
