  • Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a simple but effective treatment in which the patient breathes 100% pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. The increased oxygen and pressure administer 10 to 20 times more oxygen directly into the body’s tissues, helping increase the body’s own natural wound-healing abilities. HBOT also helps fight certain types of infections, improves circulation, and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels.
