Hyperbaric Chamber

University Park- Dallas, TX

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness, a potential risk of scuba diving. Other conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:

  • Serious infections

  • Bubbles of air in blood vessels

  • Wounds that may not heal because of diabetes or radiation injury.

  • Burns

  • Surgical Wounds

  • Long COVID effect

  • Exposure to mold, mildew & harmful chemicals

  • Poor Circulation

In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure.

Improved wound healing

HBOT increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, which can help wounds heal naturally. It also helps white blood cells find and destroy bacteria, reduces swelling, and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels. HBOT can also help with healing radiated tissue and skin grafts that are failing.

Improved eye health

HBOT can help treat eye problems like glaucoma and optic neuropathy, which can cause vision loss. It can reduce swelling in the retina, prevent further damage to the optic nerve, and help restore blood supply and normal pressure.

Benefits

Strengthened immune system

HBOT can help the body fight toxins and illness, and it can also enhance the production of white blood cells.

Reduced swelling and pain

HBOT can reduce swelling and pain by constricting blood vessels.

Improved collagen production

HBOT can stimulate the growth of collagen, which is an important protein that makes up connective tissue in the body. This can help with healing skin grafts and radiation injuries.

Cognitive Health

HBOT promotes healing of the brain and nervous system by flooding the body with oxygen. This can improve neurological conditions by allowing the damaged tissue to repair itself.

Hyperbaric Treatment & Cancer

Cancer cells thrive in oxygen-deprived environments, often resulting in the hypoxemia (inadequate blood oxygen levels) seen in cancer patients. So, contrary to previous beliefs, increased oxygen levels, as delivered through HBOT, hinder cancer growth. Studies, like one in 2009 by researchers at Oxford University, showed that injecting oxygen into solid tumors significantly increased the chances of patient recovery and increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments on the cancer cells.

Cancer Treatments, Radiation Necrosis, and HBOT

Radiation necrosis is a severe side effect of radiation therapy often used to treat cancers tumors. While radiation works to damage the cancer cells, it also damages healthy, normal cells. This damage leads to severe tissue and bone destruction. 

HBOT, or hyperbaric oxygen treatments, have been used since the 1970s to treat cancer-related radiation necrosis with great success. Because HBOT delivers 100 percent oxygen, the damaged tissue receives a far greater concentration of oxygen. This promotes better healing. Not only does the increased oxygen repair damaged tissue, but it also helps to repair damaged blood vessels.
