Many people get to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy via various sources. However, many of these patients are often apprehensive about the working of HBOT therapy, how it is carried out, and what the side effects are. So, today, let’s analyze the whole process of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? HBOT therapy involves 100% oxygen inhalation inside a pressurized chamber or cell. Normally, when a patient is not receiving HBOT, red blood cells become the sole carrier of oxygen in the body. However, when the patient is…

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Helps in Autism Treatment

December 28, 2017May 28, 2018 Nancy Smith

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, often abbreviated as HBOT, is a treatment process that leverages the benefits of oxygen to treat a number of medical conditions. In this method, a patient goes into a chamber, called a hyperbaric chamber. The atmospheric pressure inside this chamber is set above that of sea level so that maximum amount of oxygen can be delivered to the damaged tissues. Moreover, the increase in pressure allows for the oxygen to exponentially mix into the fluids of the blood of an individual. HBOT therapy also allows higher absorption…

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Relieves Autism

The HBOT therapy has emerged as one of the safest and effective alternative treatment options for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Today, around 1 out of 68 children are diagnosed with ASD and it is expected that this number can increase in near future. There are several therapeutic, speech and occupational therapies to treat autism but they don’t offer a long-lasting result. The positive effects of all these treatments can last for few minutes or in some cases, for few hours. The symptoms and severity of each autistic case are different…

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Autism

November 13, 2017May 28, 2018 Nancy Smith

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for autism has come up as an effective alternative treatment for children suffering from the neurodevelopmental disorder. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT is a treatment that involves inhaling oxygen in a pressurized chamber. It has been accepted as a successful treatment for many disorders like Carbon Monoxide poisoning, arterial gas embolism and more. 97% of oxygen in our body is carried by hemoglobin for circulation throughout the human body. With additional oxygen supply in the body, the percentage oxygen content of hemoglobin increases to 100%. Body tissues…

How HBOT Helped Toros – A Child with Autism and Head Injury

September 20, 2017May 28, 2018 Gregory Penn

In recent years, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been steadily gaining momentum as an effective procedure for augmenting the natural healing process of the human body. Contrary to the belief of HBOT being a new-age treatment, the fact remains that it has been in existence since 1662 and has been administered as part of clinical treatment since mid-1800. This procedure involves inhalation of pure oxygen in a controlled total body chamber with increased atmospheric pressure. Medical practitioners generally recommend HBOT in addition to the patient’s existing health care plan, and…

Research Suggests that HBOT Relieves Fibromyalgia

July 28, 2016October 9, 2017 Shiela Holmes

Fibromyalgia affects 1 in 70 Americans on average, and is more common among women than men. Out of more than 12 million Americans who suffer from it, a majority of patients are women who belong to the 25-60 age group. It is difficult to diagnose, and often confused with other medical conditions. As a result, a patient may be subjected to unrelenting pain for months or even years prior to its diagnosis. There are only a few therapies available at present which can relieve the shooting pains arising from fibromyalgia….
