   How Does HBOT Work?
 

The air we breath is 21% oxygen, 79% nitrogen and minor amounts of other gases. Our bodies are usually able to heal themselves with a normal oxygen level, but in certain conditions extra oxygen is required. During HBO therapy, the pressure is increased 23 times that of sea level and you breathe 100% oxygen. The breathing of pure oxygen under pressure causes a much larger amount than normal of oxygen to be dissolved in the blood, and subsequently, the rest of the body

 


Benefits of HBOT?
  • Aids the body with the natural healing process
  • Increases cerebral and extremity blood flow
  • Removal of heavy metals and toxins from the body
 
How Many Treatments Do I Need?

The number of treatments that a patient needs differs depending on the patient's diagnosis. The average number of treatments is 20 to 40. The number of treatments is also dependent on the patient's response to the therapy.  The number of treatments is determined by the Medical Doctor.
