Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This therapy enhances the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the tissues throughout the body, promoting healing and recovery.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works:

Increased Oxygen Delivery:

m-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (m-HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen to raise the blood and tissue oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This happens by the basic law of physics. As per Henry’s law, under hyperbaric conditions, oxygen dissolves easier into the bodies fluids allowing oxygen to access area’s previously inaccessible under normal conditions.

In normal circumstances, we breath 21% oxygen, but in a Hyperbaric Chamber, increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve and saturate more effectively in the blood system, giving m-HBOT the ability to increase oxygen saturation up to 300% to alleviate your pain and help with recovery.

The patient enters a hyperbaric chamber, which is then pressurized to a level higher than normal atmospheric pressure (usually 1.5 to 3 times the normal air pressure).
Under these conditions, the lungs can absorb significantly more oxygen than when breathing normal air at standard atmospheric pressure.
The increased oxygen dissolves more readily in the blood plasma, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues and cells, including areas with limited or impaired blood flow.
Sessions:

HBOT sessions typically last between 60 minutes, and a course of treatment might involve multiple sessions depending on the condition being treated.

 

Conditions We Support With HBOT:

  • Concussion
  • TBI
  • Cognitive Decline
  • Autoimmunity
  • Neuropathy
  • Diabetic Wound Healing
  • Athletic Recovery
  • Dysautonomia/POTS
  • ADHD
  • Autism
  • Parkinson’s
  • Anti-Aging
  • Cancer

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

Promotes Wound Healing:

Enhances the body’s natural healing process by increasing oxygen supply to injured tissues, which is particularly beneficial for wounds that are not healing properly, such as diabetic foot ulcers and radiation injuries.

Reduces Inflammation and Edema:

HBOT can reduce swelling and inflammation by constricting blood vessels while still delivering more oxygen, which is helpful in conditions like crush injuries or compartment syndrome.

Improves Oxygenation to Tissues:

Increases the amount of oxygen available to tissues, which helps in conditions with compromised oxygen delivery, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, arterial insufficiencies, and severe anemia.

Enhances Immune Function:

Boosts the immune system by enhancing the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria and reducing the ability of certain bacteria to grow and produce toxins, beneficial in treating chronic infections like osteomyelitis and refractory infections.

Promotes Angiogenesis (Formation of New Blood Vessels):

Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels in areas of reduced blood flow, improving circulation and aiding in tissue repair.

Reduces Effects of Radiation Therapy:

Can be used to treat radiation injuries to tissue, such as radiation-induced necrosis or radiation cystitis, by improving oxygenation and promoting healing in damaged tissues.

Enhances Neuroprotection and Recovery:

Used to support recovery in conditions like traumatic brain injury, stroke, and cerebral palsy by potentially reducing brain swelling and supporting neural recovery.

Testimonial

"Dr. Michael Veselak and his spinal decompression clinic have changed my life in a way I never would have thought possible. Now, five weeks after I started my treatment, I'm back to my very active lifestyle. During my entire treatment, I've been completely medication free. I couldn't have done it without Dr. Veselak. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone faced with surgery as their only option or people that have chronic neck and/or back pain. This is an option you cannot afford to pass up." - Umrao M.

A Comprehensive Approach

As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Veselak has found that successful treatment is the result of finding the source of the problem, and not covering the symptoms with medications.

With all chronic pain patients there is an underlying component that must be addressed if the patient is ever going to respond to conservative care and live a life without medications.
