How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

HBOT Therapy is based on the fact that at higher altitudes air is “thinner,” meaning there is less available oxygen for the body to absorb. At lower altitudes the opposite is true. At a lower altitude, the pressure is greater and the body can more easily absorb oxygen. Being in the pressurized hyperbaric chamber is like being at a lower altitude where the body begins to absorb a healing dose of oxygen which is infused into every cell of the body. This increase in oxygen exposure is critical for the improved healing response of our cells and the nervous system.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment, at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). The increased atmospheric pressure allows the body to absorb more oxygen into blood cells, plasma, and cerebral, spinal, and other fluids. This noninvasive therapy is the most trusted for oxygen to dissolve and saturate the blood plasma (independent of hemoglobin/red blood cells), which yields a broad variety of positive physiological, biochemical and cellular effects. The typical treatment lasts for 60-90 minutes, during which the patient lies down and breathes normally.

HBOT Therapy has been demonstrated in several clinical studies to enhance the body’s innate ability to repair and regenerate. It is used as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions.

HBOT Benefits

• Increases oxygen to the body’s tissues up to 25 times the normal amount.
• Boosts immune system (improved neutrophil and macrophage activity).
• Produces new blood vessel growth (neovascularization, angiogenesis).
• Increases production of stem cells (up to 8x MSC and CNS stem cell)
• Increases wound healing and damaged tissue (VEGF, Collagen production, and PDGF)
• Decreases inflammation (reduction of cytokines/increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines)
• Anti-microbial/microbiome balancing (decreasing anaerobic pathogens)
• Decreases swelling and edema (vasoconstriction)
• Increases energy and reduce fatigue (mitochondrial healing and production)
• Treats traumatic and ischemic brain and nerve injuries (increase VEGF, BDNF, HIF1) and many many more.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy covered by insurance?

Insurance usually does not cover these treatments for the conditions we are using it for in our office. However, in the United States, there are certain indications which insurance does cover. These include gangrene, radiation burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and decompression sickness.

Most of us can remember back to elementary school science when we learned about the role of our digestive tract. We learned how it helps us digest our food so we can utilize those nutrients for energy. However, that’s hardly scratching the surface on how powerful and complex the gastrointestinal system is and why gut health is central to overall health.

“ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT.” -HIPPOCRATES

This is especially true when it comes to the potential of our gut microbiome, also known as the gut flora. It is estimated that there are tens of trillions of different microorganisms in the gut, creating a unique blend of microorganisms in each and every individual. Research suggests that many health issues begin as imbalances in the digestive system. In order to help improve health, we have to get to the root of the problem, which often leads us back to resolving imbalances or issues in the digestive tract or gut microbiome. New research is also starting to show a strong connection between the gut and the brain, as well as the ability of the gut bacteria to influence neurotransmitter levels and inflammation in the body. Our diet can also trigger changes in the gut microbiome, for better or for worse. It’s important to determine which foods are best for your body’s digestive system, so you can be sure you’re not doing more harm than good. This means not only looking into food allergies and food sensitivities but also foods that generally create more inflammation in the body. Our goal is to help you get the most out of what you’re consuming, to best fuel and nourish your body.

Here’s how we evaluate gut health:

• Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Stool Analysis
• Breath Testing
• Intestinal Permeability Testing
• Bloodwork
• Questionnaires
