Each session, known as a “dive,” involves filling the chamber with 100% oxygen while increasing atmospheric pressure. This process boosts the body’s oxygen levels by 15 to 20 times the normal concentration. This elevated oxygen supply triggers cellular processes that can accelerate healing and aid recovery from various conditions and illnesses.
HBOT is non-invasive, safe, and generally has minimal side effects.
HBOT has been shown to significantly enhance immune function, helping patients with a variety of conditions, from chronic wounds to neurological impairments. While its use is well-established internationally, HBOT is quickly gaining popularity in the United States.
The underlying concept of HBOT is simple: oxygen is essential for healing. Under normal conditions, oxygen is carried to injured areas by red blood cells. During HBOT, however, oxygen dissolves in all bodily fluids, including plasma, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid. This increase in oxygen allows the body to form new blood vessels, build connective tissue, and promote cell growth.
Traditionally, the body’s healing process has a fixed rate, with conventional therapies providing comfort while nature takes its course. HBOT, however, has revolutionized this standard, enabling faster recovery times.
As scientific research continues to demonstrate the expanding benefits and effectiveness of HBOT, Jumeirah American Clinic utilizes cutting-edge hyperbaric technology and follows industry-leading safety protocols to offer the best care possible.
