Each Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) session, known as a “dive,” involves filling the chamber with 100% oxygen while gradually increasing atmospheric pressure. This heightened pressure allows your lungs to take in oxygen at levels 15 to 20 times higher than normal, saturating the bloodstream and tissues with an extraordinary amount of oxygen. This surge in oxygen not only enhances the body’s natural healing capabilities but also promotes faster cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and combats infections more effectively. It’s particularly beneficial for conditions such as chronic wounds, radiation injuries, and sports injuries, as well as promoting post-surgical recovery and aiding in brain and nerve healing.
HBOT is a non-invasive, scientifically backed therapy that is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Whether you’re looking to accelerate recovery, enhance performance, or manage chronic conditions, HBOT provides a natural, drug-free approach to boosting your overall health and vitality.
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.
