WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY?
Delving deeper into the science of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) allows us to appreciate its therapeutic efficacy and potential. The fundamental principle behind HBOT is Henry’s Law, which states that the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. In the context of HBOT, increasing the atmospheric pressure allows more oxygen to be dissolved in the blood plasma, thereby increasing the availability of oxygen to tissues.
Ten Primary Benefits of HBOT
- Increase perfusion
- Neovascularization
- Increase white blood cell function
- Nerve Healing
- Wound Healing
- Stem cell release
- Vasoconstriction
- Mitochondrial Healing
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-Microbial

Three Key Physiological Mechanisms Underlie HBOT's Therapeutic Effects
The increased pressure inside the chamber allows up to a 20-fold increase in plasma oxygen levels. This enables tissues with poor or compromised blood supply to receive adequate oxygen, facilitating their repair and functionality.
HBOT modulates the body’s inflammatory response by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and simultaneously increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
There’s a controlled increase in certain reactive molecules, which play a pivotal role in various beneficial processes. These include cell signaling, immune system modulation, and the promotion of growth factor release, which are essential for antibacterial, antiviral activities, and tissue regeneration. Additionally, HBOT is known to enhance stem cell mobilization, contributing to tissue repair and regeneration by increasing the availability of stem cells in areas requiring healing.
