The Function of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Our Body.

As we start the new year, let’s revisit how hyperbaric oxygen works. To start, let’s go over how our lungs work. The air that we breathe is 21% oxygen. As we take a breath in, the lungs absorb the oxygen in the air and transfers it to our bloodstream. Red blood cells have hemoglobin (which is partly iron) that latch onto the oxygen. Red blood cells carry oxygen around the entire body, distributing oxygen to your cells. We have very little free-floating oxygen in our blood.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is so good for so many conditions. Give us a call to see if hyperbarics can help you lead a healthier life.

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen work?

A new patient came in a few weeks ago, when the hyperbaric place they had been using closed down for the pandemic. Every office is slightly different in the way that they treat patients and so it is not uncommon to have questions about protocol. We have patients wear a mask that is attached to an oxygen concentrator while they are in the chamber. Some offices don’t use the masks and have different ways of working. The patient had trouble understanding the protocols and I thought this would be a great topic for this month’s blog: how does hyperbaric oxygen work?

The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of chronic illness and death in this country. Most of us over age 40 get our cholesterol checked yearly and that is the extent of our approach to cardiac care until we end up with a heart attack, stroke, or we die. There is a whole world of preventative health care available for those of us with cardiovascular risk factors in our family; there is also a great tool to keep us healthy: hyperbaric oxygen therapy.We know hyperbaric oxygen helps us heal faster after a heart attack and stroke by reducing inflammation and increasing oxygen flow to injured areas. But what if we can help prevent heart attacks and strokes? There’s a new article that just came out showing that hyperbarics can help with healing after a stent is placed in our arteries. Stents are placed in arteries of the heart when there is too much plaque, leading to decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces inflammation and increases healing markers which means it is stimulating the body to heal the heart. Healthy blood vessels help keep your heart healthy.

Multiple sclerosis specialist Los Angeles

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease where the immune system attacks the nerves, causing decreased muscle function. This decreased muscle function may potentially cause unwanted muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain, that alternative treatment like CBD oil can help to manage until a cure can be found. MS can also lead to double vision, as well as, difficulty grasping things, walking, and even urinating. It usually develops slowly and the attacks wax and wane over time. Because of the immune activity it also has an inflammatory component. Eventually the inflammation and ultimate destruction of the tissue becomes bad enough that patients are unable to take care of themselves.We know that oxygen seems to have an affinity for the nervous system and we know that part of how hyperbaric oxygen works is by being anti-inflammatory. Thus it would seem that patients with multiple sclerosis would be the perfect candidates for hyperbaric oxygen treatments. What’s interesting is that the research gives mixed results. There are many research articles that show no significance with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Helps To Reduce Inflammation

One of the ways that hyperbaric oxygen heals is by reducing inflammation. We feel like this is evident in wound healing and cancer. One of the things we don’t necessarily think about is osteoporosis and the accompanying inflammation. Most of us associate osteoporosis with low calcium or not enough exercise, and those are certainly a part of the picture. But if you look deeper, there is generally some inflammation that is slowly deteriorating the bone leading to weak bone density.I came across a couple of studies this week, that don’t expressly say that hyperbaric worked as an anti-inflammatory, but it showed increased bone density after multiple treatments. And these are also rat studies, but generally we study rats before humans, so it seems logical that humans would also see an increase in bone density with hyperbaric oxygen.

How Effective The Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment For Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a devastating posttraumatic condition characterized by unrelenting severe pain and disability. It is difficult to treat, as the medical community has had a difficult time understanding the cause. Typically, it is treated with high dose steroids, and, in the worst cases, amputation of the affected limb. We understand that it is inflammatory, and generally happens after a traumatic wound. There is a general consensus that the nerves are involved, and new research is suggesting that there may be an auto-immune component as well.If you or a loved one is suffering from CRPS, please give us a call and let us show you how hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).Concussions are in the news again, but this time with a better name: CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. I say a better name because it finally indicates the more serious issue underlying the problem. Will Smith’s new movie that came out a few months ago highlights the fight within the football community to get some recognition for this injury.The sooner you get oxygen back to your brain, the faster it heals and the sooner you get back to your best health. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help with this process.

Benefits Of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that is still not well understood. Conventional medicine prescribes pain relievers and medications that block nerve conduction. And, these are only partially effective. We’re not sure what causes fibromyalgia or why some people are more prone to it. Patients typically have pain in throughout much of their body, as well as digestive issues and sleep disturbances. Many cannot work and end up on disability.
