The benefits of Oxygen Therapy for specific conditions

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy benefits patients with Arthritis by reducing swelling, decreasing inflammation and therefore reducing pain

Oxygen Therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to patients that seek enhanced healing of non-union fractures.

The process of Oxygen Therapy encourages the production of collagen. Collagen is a tough, fibrous material that fills the spaces between broken bones. It is collagen that helps to bring the broken or fractured bones back together. Oxygen Therapy also enhances the production of new capillaries around the injured areas – which carries more oxygen and nutrients to the bones.

Oxygen Therapy reduces swelling and inflammation, boost the immune system, improve circulation and suppress infection. These benefits go hand in hand with the bone break and fracture repair process. Particularly when it comes to tibia and fibular fractures that have a poor blood supply. 

Cancer cells require a low-oxygen environment to grow and thrive. By increasing the oxygen levels in the body’s tissues, Oxygen Therapy can help make it more difficult for cancer cells to survive and grow. It’s a supplementary therapy to support and enhance traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy and can also reduce the side effects of radiation therapy by improving tissue oxygenation.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder that weakens the body for prolonged periods. Bed rest does not improve fatigue of this kind, and the condition is actually made worse by physical or mental exertion. The symptoms include muscle exhaustion, inability to sleep, joint pain, headaches, and difficulty concentrating.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy seeks to relieve general fatigue and pain experienced by patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome whilst decreasing inflammation. 

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound or sore on the skin that is slow to heal. In addition to the standard care for diabetic foot ulcer, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been suggested as a potential additional therapy in cases where the normal treatment has failed to heal the wound. 

Oxygen is the essence of all life. If we do not receive enough oxygen our bodies become depleted. 

Oxygen therapy has been clinically proven to improve mental function, helping with depression, anxiety, stress and concentration. It can be helpful for jet lag and hangovers- with its restorative, relaxing and rejuvenating effect

One of the main symptoms of long Covid is joint pain and muscle aches. Oxygen therapy is well known for its anti-inflammatory powers and can help with pain management of long Covid. It also helps with inflammation, in some studies the appearance of COVID-19 pneumonia on CT scans was seen to be clearing three to five days after starting oxygen therapy.

Oxygen Therapy can extend the body’s ability to heal and limit some of the damage which the disease causes. Some of the symptoms of MS such as fatigue, bladder urgency and frequency can be improved as well as having a positive effect on general mobility. Oxygen therapy helps dilated and leaky blood vessels to constrict back to normal size and swelling is reduced.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy stimulates the production of collagen, resulting in smoother, more supple skin.

It also promotes the healing of wounds, cuts, and injuries by increasing oxygen delivery to the affected areas. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic wounds or skin conditions.

By enhancing blood flow and oxygenation to the skin, Oxygen Therapy helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, leaving behind a radiant complexion.

Oxygen therapy is being used more and more to help provide quicker recovery from injury and promote better performance. Studies have shown that oxygen therapy can speed up recovery by up to 50%. It can reduce muscle fatigue and strain, pain and inflammation, and also heals soft tissue, ligament damage and fractures faster.

Oxygen therapy treatment has been shown to enhance cognitive performance and decrease the course of dementia by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain as well as promoting neural connections post stroke. This is not a cure but can be used to enhance neurocognitive functions.
