Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) facilitates this through the application of oxygen under pressure within a specialized chamber. During the HBOT process, a variety of healthy physiological changes occur within our brain and body. Not only do we increase oxygen delivery to all cells and tissues in our brain and body by supersaturating our blood plasma with oxygen, we also decrease acute and chronic inflammation, form new blood vessels, promote healthy gene expression, reverse hypoxia (low oxygen), increase microcirculation, improve detoxification, stimulate an exponential release of stem cells, promote balance of the autonomic nervous system function and optimize all stages of wound healing. These mechanisms of healing are responsible for the incredible benefits and recovery that our patients experience through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen medicine has been around for a little while, but with more recent imaging and research capabilities, were able to capture some of the incredible ways in which it’s promoting healing for our patients. The primary way in which it works is that it delivers more oxygen to your cells and tissues. It does this by specialized pressure within a chamber that alters oxygen’s solubility, allowing it to dissolve directly into the plasma (fluid) of your blood, incrwsimf concentrations well beyond normal, while still maintaining red blood cell’s ability to carry oxygen. This increases concentrations so greatly that oxygen pushes into our cells and tissues much farther than normal and is able to reach places that are often receiving less than adequate amounts. When this occurs, these cells take this oxygen and create energy(ATP), allowing them to regenerate and restructure themselves so that they function optimally with the proper ATP. You cannot get the same result from breathing pure oxygen without pressure as your red blood cells are most likely at their maximum carrying capacity. Therefore, we need to get more oxygen into our plasma, and we do this via PRESSURE - Henry’s Law of Gases!! A little physics throwback. It’s important to note (at least I found this cool 🤓) that when you exhale, you still have 15-18% oxygen in your breath, that’s why you can resuscitate someone through CPR, so we’re never really using all of our oxygen available anyway, but pressure allows us to maximize that efficiency, which is why pure oxygen makes little difference. Hyperbaric oxygen also - 1. Decreases acute and chronic inflammation 2. Exponentially releases stem cells 3. Improves all stages of wound healing 4. Turns on good genes and turns off bad genes (epigenetics) 5. Improves autonomic nervous system function 6. Reverses hypoxia 7. Stimulates new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) 8. Increases microcirculation 9. Detoxification 10. Anti-aging Under pressure, oxygen goes from a gas state to a liquid state of unbound O2. This is Henry’s law of gases. Breath. Heal. Rebuild. Restore.
