Concussion. Our favorite topic around here. We’ve talked before about how helpful hyperbaric oxygen therapy is for helping to heal the brain after a concussion. But what happens if you’ve had multiple concussions over the years? Or what if you
The benefit of Hyperbaric Oxygen on blood sugar stability in patients with diabetes.
It is well known in the medical community that hyperbaric oxygen is great for healing diabetic ulcers. We know that wounds of all types respond well to the extra oxygen and pressure from hyperbaric treatment. However, there is new research
How Effective The Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment For Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a devastating posttraumatic condition characterized by unrelenting severe pain and disability. It is difficult to treat, as the medical community has had a difficult time understanding the
Hyperbaric Oxygen Enhances Cognitive Function In Healthy Older Adults
A wonderful new study was just published on how hyperbaric oxygen enhances cognitive function in healthy older adults. What I love about this study is that it shows that hyperbaric treatment isn’t just for treating disease; it helps us potentially
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Post-Surgical Patients
I love seeing post-surgical patients in our office. They see such quick results with hyperbaric oxygen treatments. We know that hyperbaric oxygen helps in at least 2 ways: reduces inflammation and increases oxygen in the body. This helps healing on
Oxygen Therapy Reduce Inflammation And Joint Pain In Rheumatoid Arthritis
One of the ways through which we understand how Hyperbaric oxygen works is as an anti-inflammatory. There have been numerous studies, using different blood tests and parameters that can specifically show how hyperbaric oxygen lowers multiple inflammatory markers in the
Research on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Treat Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD
I came across this article as I was perusing the research on hyperbarics this week. Earlier this year, the National Brain Injury Rescue and Rehabilitation study was founded to address, among other things, if Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was helpful for
The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of chronic illness and death in this country. Most of us over age 40 get our cholesterol checked yearly and that is the extent of our approach to cardiac care until we
Hyperbaric Oxygen Helps To Reduce Inflammation
One of the ways that hyperbaric oxygen heals is by reducing inflammation. We feel like this is evident in wound healing and cancer. One of the things we don’t necessarily think about is osteoporosis and the accompanying inflammation. Most of
Hyperbaric Oxygen Helps In Regeneration Of Nerve Fibers.
It’s nice when what we see clinically is supported in the medical literature. I came across this article the other day on regeneration of nerve fibers after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. The study looked at imaging of brains before and
