Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) exerts its effects through several cellular mechanisms: Enhanced Oxygen Delivery: HBOT increases the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood, leading to higher oxygen availability at the cellular level. This supports cellular metabolism and energy production, particularly in hypoxic tissues. Reduction…

HBOT and Neuroinflammation Neuroinflammation is at the root of many conditions for which hyperbaric oxygen has been shown to be effective.  Numerous peer-reviewed studies have documented that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) reduces neuroinflammation. This is accomplished through several mechanisms: Reduction of Proinflammatory Cytokines: HBOT decreases…

Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Comprehensive Wound Care Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an integral component of comprehensive wound care, particularly for chronic and non-healing wounds. Here’s how HBOT fits into the broader context of wound management: 1. How does it Work? Enhanced…

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves physical performance in older adults As we age, there is indeed a natural decline in physical activity capacity that can affect even healthy individuals who exercise regularly. This decline is multifactorial and can be influenced by various physiological changes that occur…
