Arthritis and Arthrosis

Hyperbaric Chamber treatment is highly efficient ot reduce inflammationand join pain, since hyperoxia works on joint and tendinous tissues, favoring recovery and restoring mobility. A significant increasein the oxygen level in this blood flow (hyperoxia) by means of hyperbaric chambers reduces inflammation and stimulates recovery and tissue healing processes, moderates oxidative stress and inflammation, which is great benefit for patients in the process of rehabilitation. 

Autism spectrum disorders & PDD

Autism and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) are syndromes where hyperbaric therapy is officially prescribed, especially for the recovery and improvement of many of the disorders these syndromes cause on children. After a few sessions at the Hyperbaric Chamber, children make a great progress on attention, connection with family members, socializing, muscle tone and immunologic system. Although there are many streams of opinion in relation to these cases specialists around the world agree that the hyperbaric chamber is a great help. Experience shows that parents feel comforted with the progress of their children, since their attention and learning improve significantly after hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

Burns and Grafts

The Hyperbaric Chambers is prescribed by every international health organization for the treatment of burns and skin grafts. Hyperbaric oxygen causes angiogenesis, which creates new blood cells so that burnt areas and grafts heal quickly, preventing infections and pain. Strong hyperoxia produces an increase of the oxygen in the blood flow and regenerates damaged tissue. Apart from the anti-inflammatory effect which reduces pain, it stimulates collagen formation favoring healing processes, promotes angiogenesis and increases the blood flow in the affected area, encouraging stem cells release. This is a proof that the Hyperbaric Chamber is the right choice for the treatment of burns and skin grafts

Cerebral Palsy

Hyperbaric treatment causes an increase in cerebral blood flow. It reduces the swelling from vasoconstriction and decreases edema, stimulates healing processes of injured tissues and helps regulate inflammatory processes. Also the treatment directly affects some neurotransmitters and increases the oxygen consumption of the central nervous system. These beneficial effects of oxygen combined with treatment protocols of cerebral palsy help patients see various clinical improvements and better rehabilitation capacity..

Diabetic Ulcers & Foot

Wounds in diabetic patients are very difficult to heal, since one of their side effects is the lack of peripheral circulation (at Skin level) or angiopathy which prevents blood supply in the affected area, which is necessary for the wound to start healing. The hyperbaric chamber treatment produces hyperoxia. An increase of the amount of oxygen in the tissues triggers the angiogenesis, regeneration blood vessels which are the base for the healing process, Such increase of oxygen also reduces inflammation and stimulates regeneration of blood vessels, collagen production and stem cells formation, and increases the bactericide effect of white blood cells. These effects favor the healing process of wounds produced due to diabetes progression..

Fibromyalgia

Hyperbaric oxygen has proved to be very effective and critical for the reduction, reversion or elimination of symptoms caused by Fibromyalgia. The treatment consists of a set of sessions at the hyperbaric chamber, which shall be determined after a thorough examination of the patient. The increase of oxygen in the blood flow produced by this hyperbaric treatment produces an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulating healing of tissues, increasing the blood flow at peripheral level and the central nervous system, working on neurotransmitters. Due to these benefits, the hyperbaric chamber treatment is increasing used as part of treatment protocols for patients suffering from fibromyalgia, with excellent medical results.

Fournier Syndrome

The beneficial effects of the Hyperbaric Chamber are essential for this pathology’s control and recovery, due is its efficient healing processes and the synergy with the immunologic system. Hyperoxia becomes fundamental to halt the progression of this disease and help patients who suffer from it, thanks to its regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects, its high synergy with antibiotics, the increase of the bactericide action and collagen formation which allows healing and regeneration of damaged tissues blood flow stimulation, blood cell formation and a significant increase of oxygen of the affected area, increasing cell activity and helping control and repair injured areas.

Migraines and headaches

The effects of hyperopia reduce the symptom of acute migraines and headaches and the amount of events. Headaches and migraines are produced by an inflammatory process the cranial cavity, which prevents expansion. Hyperoxia, obtained in the hyperbaric chamber, reduces inflammation of the brain tissue and symptoms. The hyperbaric chamber produces an increase of the blood perfusion and redistributes brain flow, reduces inflammation, stimulates brain tissue repairing processes and favors the neurotransmitters. enneurotransmisores.

Oncology

Cancer related problems are caused by tumor cell with an anaerobic component, since they are cells that react to oxygen and retract, since they reproduce in an oxygen-free environment. Strong hyperoxia generated by the hyperbaric chamber sends oxygen to every tissue of the body, including tumor tissues, preventing them from reproduction and favoring retraction. There is much information and research on the matter. Which consider the hyperbaric treatment a perfect complement for the regular cancer treatment. It also highly recommended in cases of radiotherapy, since it helps repair injuries caused by radiation by means of hyperbaric oxygen.

Parkinson’s Disease

This neurodegenerative disease results in the inflammation of brain tissue, producing a spasticity, which reflects of the typical tremors. After a few sessions at the Hyperbaric Chamber, symptoms improve quite significantly, reducing the inflammation of brain tissue which affects patient’s mobility and comprehensive response.
Hyperbaric oxygen is an anti-inflammatory, produces a redistribution of the blood flow at the level of the central nervous system, stimulates regeneration of brain tissue and works on neurotransmitters. This combination of effects causes the significant recovery of the patient, reducing tremors and rigidity, resulting in a better life quality.

Peripheral neuropathies

Many of the effects of peripheral neuropathies are produced by an inflammation of brain tissue. The central and peripheral nervous system is very sensitive to oxygen changes. By means of the hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen levels are increased (hyperoxia), reducing brain tissues inflammation which causes facial paralysis and accelerating recovery of damaged areas. The benefits of the treatment of these medical conditions are based on its anti-inflammatory effects, tissue regeneration, a better cellular response and a neurotransmitters regulation.

Radiation therapy

One of the most widely used application of the Hyperbaric Chamber worldwide is the treatment of injuries produced by radiation therapy or radiotherapy. A strong hyperopia produces a significant increase of oxygen levels in the blood flow, which allows regeneration of tissues affected by radiation, stimulating collagen formation, favoring healing and tissue repair. It also promotes angiogenesis, creating new blood vessels and increasing the blood flow to the damaged area, which encourages stem cells release. This is why the Hyperbaric Chamber is prescribed all over the world within the treatment protocol for injuries caused by radiation.

Sleep apnea

Experience and specific research show that the Hyperbaric Chamber treatment is a great option to reduce sleep apnea events. One of the causes for this condition is the imbalance of carbon monoxide exhaled while breathing. The introduction of hyperbaric oxygen helps balance this process and lets the patient sleep normally.
The use of hyperbaric oxygen to treat sleep apnea represents a modern and effective solution with excellent results. The Hyperbaric Chamber treatment increases the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, causing a strong hyperoxia which favors blood circulation, repairs brain tissue and works on neurotransmitters, reducing the apnea events after a few sessions.

Sores

The hyperbaric chamber treatment produces hyperoxia. An increase of the amount of oxygen in the tissues triggers the angiogenesis, regenerating blood vessels which are the base for sore healing. Hyperoxia stimulates collagen synthesis in order to repair tissues and promotes new blood cells formation increasing the blood flow of the sore area. It also produces and anti-inflammatory action, reducing pain and improving white blood cells bactericide activity to control infection. The incorporation of the hyperbaric chamber to the treatment of sores has shown that injuries with no favorable evolution can be treated in order for them the reverse and heal correctly.

Stroke rehabilitation

The hyperbaric treatment is very much prescribed for patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke, since it works on the damaged area and allow them to restore brain functions, accelerating the rehabilitation process and preventing new strokes. The significant increase in the oxygen carried by the blood flow is a direct consequence of the hyperbaric treatment. This reduces the inflammation of the areas affected by vasoconstriction, stimulates the process of tissue regeneration and has a direct effect on neurotransmitters by the increase of oxygen flow to the central nervous system. These mechanisms accelerate the process of recovery and rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a stroke, with excellent results.

Tinnitus, & Vertiginous Syndrome

Experience shows a quick response to these pathologies after a number of sessions, decreasing or even eliminating symptoms. The use of hyperbaric oxygen to treat tinnitus, sudden hearing loss and vertiginous syndrome represents a modern and effective solution with excellent results. The treatment with the Hyperbaric Chamber increases the oxygen levels in the blood flow, generating a strong hyperoxia which reduces edema and inflammation of tissues, stimulates blood flow and endolymph, increases oxygen amounts in the cells of the inner ear and helps eliminating symptoms after a few sessions.

Traumatology

The application of the hyperbaric chamber is fundamental for the recovery from a trauma or injure. It is even used for high-yield athletes, where every minute represents lots of money and effort. Hyperbaric oxygen is critical to heal and repair muscle, tendinous and ligament injuries and favors bone formation processes. These positive effects can be explained with the fact that the hyperbaric chamber produces hyperoxia, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, which causes a significant anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues and allows for angiogenesis or new blood cell formation, stimulates collagen production for healing and increase blood flow on the injured bone, favoring osteogenesis.

Ulcers & wound healing

Ulcerous wounds are very difficult to heal, since one of their side effects is the lack of peripheral circulation (at skin level) or angiopathy which prevents blood supply in the affected area, which is necessary for the wound to start healing. The hyperbaric chamber treatment produces a strong hyperoxia. An increase of the amount of oxygen in the tissues triggers the angiogenesis, regenerating blood vessels which are the base for the healing process. Such increase of oxygen also reduces inflammation and stimulates regeneration of blood vessels, collagen production and stem cells formation, and increases the bactericide effect of white blood cells. These effects favor the healing process of wounds produced due to venous insufficiency and circulatory failure.

Varices & circulatory disorders

Hyperbaric oxygen is specially prescribed in case of general varices, since it improves peripheral circulation and produces an anti-inflammatory effect due to hyperoxia. The treatment causes a significant reduction of edemas, which also reduces pain and improves the general condition of the patient in terms of peripheral and internal circulation. The hyperbaric chamber treatment produces a strong hyperoxia. An increase of the amount of oxygen in the tissues triggers the angiogenesis, regenerating blood vessels which are the base for the circulatory and venous system. The increase of oxygen in the blood flow caused by the hyperbaric chamber has an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing pain of the areas affected by deficient circulation. In a few word, the circulatory regeneration, edema reduction and anti-inflammatory effect of the hyperbaric oxygen constitute a great treatment option.
