At Amira Integrative Health PC, we believe in offering advanced, scientifically backed treatments to help our patients achieve optimal health. One such treatment that has shown great promise for pain relief and healing is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). But what exactly is HBOT, and how can it benefit you?

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen in your blood, allowing it to be delivered more effectively to damaged tissues. The extra oxygen helps speed up the healing process, reduce inflammation, and fight infection.

How Does HBOT Work?

When your body is exposed to higher-than-normal levels of oxygen, it stimulates the production of new blood vessels and enhances tissue repair. This can be especially beneficial for patients dealing with slow-healing injuries, chronic wounds, or certain medical conditions that compromise the body’s ability to heal naturally.

Conditions Treated with HBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can be a powerful treatment option for a range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic pain: For patients with conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis, HBOT helps reduce inflammation and promotes overall wellness.
  • Non-healing wounds: Patients with diabetic ulcers or other wounds that are slow to heal can benefit from increased oxygenation.
  • Post-surgical recovery: HBOT promotes faster recovery and helps prevent infections after surgery.
  • Lyme Disease: HBOT is increasingly being used to support Lyme Disease treatment by improving oxygenation and boosting the immune system.

What to Expect During Treatment

During an HBOT session, you will rest in a comfortable chamber where the air pressure is increased to 2-3 times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. You’ll breathe 100% oxygen for the duration of the session, which typically lasts between 60-90 minutes. The therapy is painless, and many patients find it relaxing.

At Amira Integrative Health PC, we offer state-of-the-art Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in a welcoming environment. Our team works closely with patients to ensure a comfortable and effective experience, helping them achieve faster healing and pain relief.
