Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a highly
specialized treatment that increases atmospheric pressure to allow the body to
integrate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma and other body fluids.
When a severely compromised tissue in the
body begins to receive oxygen and blood circulation to the tissue resumes, the
healing process occurs.
Greater amounts
of oxygen are absorbed into the plasma, synovial fluid and cerebral fluid when
the body is pressurized using a hyperbaric chamber. In addition to the
greater absorption, the oxygen is also allowed to reach areas in the body that
are difficult to reach without the increased pressure.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and there are no dangerous side effects reported.
What
does it treat?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be
used to treat numerous conditions as an “off label” use, many of which are
documented with scientific evidence that is stronger than that of the FDA
approved conditions. These conditions include:

Portable hyperbaric chambers are completely
safe. The chamber operates with filtered ambient air (surrounding room air),
therefore there is no danger of oxygen toxicity in the body that can occur with
other hyperbaric chambers, which utilize an oxygen tank. Mild hyperbaric
therapy (mHBOT or mHBT) can safely be used in conjunction with nearly all other
treatments.
How does a treatment feel?
The patient can lay or sit comfortably inside
a portable chamber and either read, listen to music, sleep or just relax during
a session. You will feel a pressure change in the ears as the pressure is
raised inside the chamber, and again when the pressure decreases. This feeling
has been experienced by most as the ear "pops" in an airplane when
the cabin is pressurized. The majority of people using the portable hyperbaric
chamber report a pleasant, comfortable experience.
How Long Does a Session Last?
Each session is 1 hour.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

About the
Hyperbaric Chamber - Vitaeris 320 
The best and largest in the
OxyHealth fleet of mild hyperbaric chambers, the Vitaeris 320 boasts a roomy
32” inflated diameter that comfortably seats two. Dual pumps boost inflation
time and provide twice the airflow throughout the chamber.
There are several sizes of
portable HBOT chambers, which are used for home and clinic treatment. These are
usually referred to as "mild chambers", which is a reference to the
lower pressure (compared to hard chambers) of soft-sided chambers. The Vitaeris
320 goes up to 4 PSI above atmospheric pressure, which equals 1.3 atmospheres
absolute (ATA), equivalent to a depth of approximately 13 feet of sea water
which is quite sufficient to raise tissue oxygenation concentrations enough to
stimulate angioneogenesis, osteoneogenesis, kill or subdue invading bacteria or
reduce the size of an air emboli.
