Want to learn more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Heal Thyself Atlanta is a hyperbaric oxygen therapy practice in Atlanta that began as a vision of providing non-hospital, independent hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT therapy) to patients that would benefit from the treatments. By avoiding the additional costs that are part of a Hospital setting, our clients can get comprehensive treatment for wounds and other conditions that benefit from hyperbaric therapy for less than being treated in the HOPD setting.
So what is Hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a potential risk of scuba diving. Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include serious infections, bubbles of air in your blood vessels, and wounds that may not heal as a result of diabetes or radiation injury.
In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.
When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulate the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.
