Hyperbaric chamber
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that uses a special chamber to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.
What does the hyperbaric chamber consist of?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that uses a special chamber to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.
Inside the hyperbaric chamber a high amount of pure oxygen (4ATA) is breathed and due to the increased air pressure, the body can absorb an enormous amount of oxygen.
This increase in oxygen allows more energy to be produced and, consequently, accelerates the body’s ability to rehabilitate and regenerate itself.
What injuries, ailments or diseases can a hyperbaric chamber treatment help?
Accelerates recovery and reduces inflammation of crush injuries, compartment syndrome and soft tissue sports injuries.
Difficult-to-unite fractures, bone grafting and radionecrosis.
Of ischemic and traumatic origin, due to rupture of the membrane of
Reissner’s membrane,
whose recovery is favored by increasing oxygen pressure.
It produces changes in cerebral perfusion, improves motor function and maintains the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
Recovery after stroke, multiple sclerosis, migraines, peripheral neuropathy, autism, cerebral edema, spinal cord injury, radiation myelitis, neuropathic pain, cerebral palsy and spasticity.
It reduces inflammation, improves immune function and relieves pain: osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, lumbago and sciatica.
Central retinal artery occlusion. The autoregulatory mechanisms of the retinal circulation have a great influence on the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation. These mechanisms provide the retina with the ability to contract, ensuring adequate blood flow.
It increases oxygenation in tissues, accelerates collagen production, has anti-inflammatory effects accelerating the recovery of muscle and joint injuries, tendinosis and bone fractures.
Accelerates healing and tissue recovery, reducing the risk of infection and amputation as in severe cases of diabetic foot.
Improvement in pain areas, with reduction of inflammation and reduction of fatigue and tiredness symptoms, improving cognitive functions and promoting neuroplasticity (fibromyalgia syndrome).
Useful as an assistant in active treatment with radiotherapy, radioinduced lesions (proctitis, cystitis, etc).
Sequelae of chemotherapy such as polyneuropathies.
It shortens healing times, reducing the risk of complications; it reduces the intensity of hematomas and inflammation, avoiding the appearance of infections.
It shortens recovery times from tears, wounds, muscle injuries and bone fractures, increasing physical energy and exercise tolerance, eliminating muscle fatigue.
Abscesses, pulmonary embolism due to surgery, sequelae after pneumonia.
Hyperbaric chamber therapy is prepared to help improve the quality of life. Our patient care team will be happy to answer your questions.
How will be the process of a hyperbaric chamber treatment?
- Before undergoing treatment, our medical team will examine you to detect the indications you need.
- Afterwards, you will be provided with all the information on how to prepare for the first treatment sessions in the hyperbaric chamber.
- During the sessions, you will be accompanied at all times by our camera operators. They will be in charge of accompanying you in the application of the treatment.
Will I get results in a hyperbaric chamber treatment?
To really see the results of a hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment, you will probably need more than one session.
Therefore, in order to optimally treat your injury, hyperbaric treatment is usually part of a comprehensive therapeutic plan aimed at obtaining the best results for the patient.
