Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a technology that delivers oxygen to a person within a pressurized environment. During treatment, oxygen under pressure fills the hyperbaric chamber or is breathed through a mask, increasing the oxygen concentration within a person’s body 15 to 20 times greater than the typical level in the blood. Oxygen is typically only transported by hemoglobin in the red blood cells. By increasing the air pressure, oxygen is diffused into the body’s plasma, allowing a super-saturation of tissues and organs with oxygen. Increased oxygen to the body accelerates healing processes and aids recovery from certain conditions and illnesses, even reaching injuries with damaged circulation.
