Hyperbaric Oxygen TreatmentHyperbaric Oxygen


The primary healing element in our bodies is simply oxygen. Get too much or too little and we become unstable or die. We all know that the oxygen is absorbed through the lungs and circulated through the blood in the body. A regulated increase of oxygen therefore helps with healing and assists with the detoxification.
Hyper means an increase in the quantity or quality of something while baric means pressure. Put these together and you have a system that delivers oxygen under increased pressure that often increases and accelerates the body's natural ability to heal from a variety of afflictions:

The Basics....
The relatively small increase in pressure effectively washes the internal organs with thirty percent more oxygen during the session. This increased air pressure and oxygen can also assist with healing the body. Hyperbaric Treatment has been used in many sport environments to accelerate body repair time and may create a feeling of well-being. Our Oxygen Chamber accommodates up to five people or a wheelchair bound client and two helpers. The Oxygen Chamber is set to the safe level of 1.3 atmospheres, avoiding risks associated with deeper 'dives'.

Typical Hospital Applications

Hyperbaric ChamberHigh dose oxygen that is breathed at increased atmospheric pressure (hyperbaric), is used clinically to treat several types of disorders. Some of the approved uses of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for acute medical emergencies include carbon monoxide poisoning, air embolism (sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by an air bubble), decompression sickness (commonly referred to as "the bends" suffered by deep sea divers), and gas gangrene. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been used to treat a variety of neurological problems such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other miscellaneous nervous system problems. The application of HBO2 therapy to neurological problems is still in its infancy and much research plus therapeutic standards are yet to be formulated.

 

Sessions are usually one hour long and we have an individual charge per person of $80 and discount is available for bulk bookings. We currently have a special offer of 'four plus one'; pay for four and the fifth is free.
