Inflammation is an integral finding in numerous medical conditions and coincides with nearly all types of injuries and insults to the body. Numerous studies have reported chronic inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease, Atherosclerosis, Autism, Cancer, Stroke, Diabetes, Traumatic Brain Injury and many other chronic health challenges. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been demonstrated to substantially attenuate inflammation throughout the body. HBOT drives increased levels of oxygen into the body, which travels through the plasma, subsequently reducing inflammation and pain. Studies have shown that HBOT increases anti-inflammatory levels and provides increased cellular aid to heal target regions. As oxygen serves as one of the primary mechanisms to ameliorating inflammation, HBOT creates the environment where this process is stimulated and enhanced. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for inflammation with the following:
Support Anti-Inflammatory Process at the Cellular Level with HBOT
- Decreases Acute/Chronic Inflammation
- Increases Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines
- Accelerates Fibroblast Activation
- Minimizes Pain & Discomfort
- Reduces Swelling
Reduce Neuroinflammation with HBOT
- Ameliorates Autism Symptoms
- Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Disease
- Supports the Prevention & Treatment of Stroke
Decrease Gastrointestinal Inflammation with HBOT
- Remediates Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Improves Nutritional Absorption
- Ameliorates Ulcerative Colitis
Relieve Soft Tissue/Joint Inflammation with HBOT
- Remediates Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Accelerates Recovery from Sports-Related & High Impact Injuries
- Ameliorates Tendinitis
Prevent the Onset of Chronic Inflammatory Related Diseases with HBOT
- Attenuates Cancer Risk & Progression
- Ameliorates Diabetic Conditions Linked to Inflammation
- Reduces Risk of Atherosclerosis, Heart Attack & Stroke
