Cerebral Palsy- New Study demonstrates the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in treating neurological and motor dysfunction Montreal Quebec, May 4, 2014 – A new study published in the current issue of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) Journal demonstrates the beneficial effect of…
Why isn’t hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accepted within the medical mainstream? (Part 2)
Why isn’t hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accepted within the medical mainstream? (Part 2) One of the most confusing issues in understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the term -“hyperbaric”. Oxygen is not "Hyperbaric": The use of the term "hyperbaric" may appear to imply that the oxygen delivered…

Why isn’t hyperbaric oxygen therapy more accepted within the medical mainstream? (Part 1) Hypoxia (low oxygen levels in tissue) hinders healing. The sooner that tissue hypoxia is corrected the better the outcome. Many hypoxic tissues require hyperbaric pressure to achieve a significant increase in oxygen…
How does hyperbaric oxygenation help in pain management?
How does hyperbaric oxygenation help in pain management? Related to crush injuries, pain results from swelling around sensory nerves. Hyperbaric oxygenation acts internally to reduce swelling. Swelling causes ischemia, lack of oxygen circulation. When ischemia is severe and persistent it may lead to an anaerobic form…
