Your body possesses an extraordinary ability to heal itself – but sometimes it needs a boost. Enter hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a medical treatment that harnesses the power of pressurized oxygen to accelerate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal from the inside out. By breathing 100% oxygen at pressures 1.5 to 3…
In modern medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the process of breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber exceeding normal atmospheric pressure. This treatment floods body tissues with up to twenty times the normal oxygen concentration, accelerating healing processes and treating conditions ranging from decompression sickness to diabetic wounds. The journey from primitive air pressure devices…
Understanding the safety profile, potential side effects, and appropriate uses of pressurized oxygen treatment for various medical conditions The recent tragic incident on January 31, 2025, where a 5-year-old child, Thomas Cooper, died in a hyperbaric chamber fire at the Oxford Center in Troy, Michigan have raised significant safety concerns through the medical community. This…
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) might sound like something from a science fiction movie, but it’s actually a well-established medical treatment that’s been helping patients for decades. In its simplest form, HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Just imagine yourself sitting in a special room or chamber where the air pressure is increased…
