The use of hyperbaric medicine is quickly becoming mainstream in treating things like sports injuries, hearing loss, ulcers, radiation injuries, neurological injuries and more. We all understand the basic use of oxygen by our bodies – to keep us alive and properly functioning. But today I’m going to explain five amazing uses for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and briefly describe how it works.
Remove Free Radicals
Free radicals are present everywhere; in the air, in our bodies, and in every material we touch. They are responsible for age related illness, the fading of paint, and the deterioration of plastic, just to name a few. They’re also responsible for the aging process that our skin goes through. This is completely unavoidable, but may be slowed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Anti-Inflammatory
Reduce pain from inflamed joints or injuries. The pressure helps reduce pain while increased oxygen promotes the healing process. In the hyperbaric chamber, oxygen is pressurized and delivered to injured parts of the body. This helps stimulate cells to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
Creates Sustained Cognitive Improvement
The pressurized oxygen stimulates idling brain cells that are metabolizing enough to stay alive but not actively firing. They become more functional, which improves their overall wellbeing.
Various Types of Injuries
Sports injuries, crush injuries, and other acute traumatic injuries are often addressed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It has also been successfully used for:
• Autism
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• HIV/AIDS
• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Asthma
• Bell’s Palsy
• Cerebral Palsy
• Depression
• Heart Disease
• Migraines
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Sports Injuries
• Stroke
Improves Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Tinnitus
Tinnitus – ringing in your ears – is caused by a variety of issues including high blood pressure and injury to the ear itself. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been effective in reducing tinnitus and other noise-induced hearing loss.
Origins
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments were originally created to treat divers who suffer from decompression sickness. The technology has been thoroughly tested on a variety of issues that affect the human body and is now available in several hospitals and clinics around the world.
