Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) introduces pure oxygen to the body to encourage the natural healing process. This treatment takes place in a pressurized chamber filled with pure oxygen. The air pressure in the chamber is raised to encourage the body to absorb the increased amount of oxygen. This process helps fight off infections and deter cell damage in injuries.

Cells need oxygen to heal. The air inside a hyperbaric chamber is 100% pure oxygen. The air we typically breathe contains about 21% oxygen. Increased oxygenation promotes angiogenesis. This is the growth of new blood vessels from the existing vascular system.

HBOT stimulates collagen growth and helps the body begin to heal wounds by attracting the endothelial cells needed to repair the wound.  Collagen is crucial to the health of your skin and other organs. It’s the most abundant protein in the body. Collagen makes up the majority of your connective tissue, including your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
