A treatment using pressurized oxygen to increase the perfusion of oxygen deep into the tissues & cells to facilitate repair & regeneration.
Pressurized pure oxygen to accelerate healing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, typically at higher than atmospheric pressure. This therapeutic approach aims to enhance the body’s oxygen supply, which is important for healing at multiple levels.
