The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) Therapy
Feb 18, 2025
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treats inflammation, wounds and other medical conditions by supplying you with extra oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure allows you to breathe in more air, and the extra oxygen helps the tissues in the body heal, combat infections, and work more effectively. In fact, HBOT increases oxygen in the bloodstream up to 15 times more than normal, and increases blood flow up to 50%.
One of the main benefits of HBOT is wound healing. According to one study, HBOT reduced the area of chronic non-healing wounds by approximately 59% after 30 sessions. It can also help white blood cells kill bacteria, reduces swelling, and stimulate the growth of new cells.
HBOT also helps to reduce symptoms of chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and chronic fatigue syndrome, among many others. By increasing oxygen levels in the bloodstream, HBOT helps to reduce inflammation and improve cellular function. This leads to a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in quality, and even length of your life. Another benefit of HBOT is that it improves brain function. Research shows that HBOT can lead to improvements in cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health. For instance, in a study of 63 aging adults, HBOT was shown to improve attention and information processing speed.
HBOT is also beneficial for athletes. By increasing the levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, HBOT helps with injury recovery, improving endurance, reducing muscle fatigue, and speeding up recovery time after intense workouts. One study showed that athletes who received HBOT sessions after ankle sprains returned to normal activities 30% faster than those who didn't receive treatments. Athletes have also experienced other benefits from HBOT such as better sleep, heightened energy, and improved mental clarity.
These are just some of the many benefits that are provided by HBOT. Come in to Re-Gen Fitness and Recovery today to experience these and many more!
