HBOT as potent anti-inflammatory
HBOT therapy can have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect similar to steroids.
HBOT involves breathing 100% pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, which results in lower levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-alpha. In other words HBOT is highly effective in reducing inflammation.
Studies have shown that it can be just as potent as some commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory medications, but with much lower risk and side effects. This is why HBOT is frequently used to promote the healing of wounds and anaerobic infections. By reducing inflammation, HBOT helps the body’s natural healing processes work more effectively.
This benefit of HBOT makes it very useful for people with any of the following conditions:
Chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic pain
Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury
Post Covid symptoms
Crohn’s desease / IBD
Diabetic lower extremity wounds
Failed skin grafts and flaps
Fibromyalgia
Lyme desease
Multiple sclerosis
Sports injuries
Stroke
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss
Surgery preparation and recovery
