Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Atlanta
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Is
Changing Lives
Our bodies need oxygen for
life. Many people don't realize that the amount and quality of the oxygen we
breathe makes a difference in how well our body functions. Pollution and poor
oxygen content in the air we breathe can inhibit health and healing. Hyperbaricoxygen therapy (HBOT) is oxygen treatment in a pressurized chamber "Hyperbaric Chamber" to give
patients the benefit of high levels of oxygen to aid in a variety of medical
conditions.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is
used to treat embolisms, stroke, and burns. Research has shown that HBOT shows
promise as treatment for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain
injury, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, and cancer. According to the Mayo
Clinic, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to treat serious infections and
wounds that are slow to heal due to diabetes.
Though this therapy has yet
to be scientifically proven to treat other conditions like autism, ADHD, and
depression, many people have found hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be an effective
treatment for these conditions. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be helpful for
pain management as well. Athletes use HBOT to improve performance and reduce
recovery time.
At the Atlanta Hyperbaric Center, clients can receive the healing effects of oxygen. Because the oxygen
is given in a pressurized chamber, the oxygen is able to penetrate areas of the
body that tend to be low in oxygen and difficult to oxygenate such as the brain
and spinal fluid. The dose of oxygen delivered to all areas of the body
increases the cells' ability to heal and improves overall functioning.
The use of HBOT for stroke patients is one example of how this alternative therapy improves the lives of
those who use it. In the treatment of strokes, research has shown that HBOT is
able to help restore functioning of areas of the brain that have been
considered dormant due to the stroke. At the National Stroke Association
Conference, research results were presented which showed that stroke patients
who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy had significant improvements in speech,
cognitive functioning, memory, and mobility.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is
completely safe. Those who are considering this alternative treatment may be
concerned about spending time in a pressurized chamber. Clients report the
treatment to be comfortable and relaxing. Patients are able to communicate with
the staff while inside the chamber.
Unlike other treatment
methods such as prescriptions and surgeries, hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not
have any undesirable side effects. The body simply is taking in the oxygen that
it needs. Patients who use HBOT often report feeling rejuvenated. Other medical
treatments can cause significant problems for the patients. Prescription
medication and surgeries, while they may be necessary to treat the illness, can
leave the patient feeling fatigued and sick.
Clients use HBOT as an
alternative to medical treatment or in junction with the traditional medical
treatment. The team at the Atlanta Hyperbaric Center have made it a goal to
educate their patients about the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and
empower them to make informative decisions about their health and treatment.
