Hyperbaric Therapy is categorized on OnlineMedicalTourism.com as within the class of procedures known as Physical Medicine/Rehabilitation. This procedure is sometimes also referred to as HBOT. More information about this procedure and other related procedures is available here.
Hyperbaric Therapy (click for worldwide facilities list): HBOT therapy is the use of 100% oxygen administered intermittently within a pressurized environment to oxygenize the entire body with the consequential beneficial health effects.

HBOT has only lately begun to gain recognition for treatment of chronic degenerative health problems related to atherosclerosis, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic ulcers, wound healing, cerebral palsy, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, macular degeneration, and many other disorders.

Wherever blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs is reduced, function and healing can potentially be aided with HBOT. When the brain is injured by stroke, CP, or trauma, HBO may wake up stunned parts of the brain to restore function.

Some of the mechanisms of action of HBOT, as they apply to healing and reversal of symptoms, are:
Greatly increases oxygen concentration in all body tissues, even with reduced or blocked blood flow.
Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels to locations with reduced circulation, improving blood flow to areas with arterial blockage.
Causes a rebound arterial dilation after HBOT, resulting in an increased blood vessel diameter greater than when therapy began, improving blood flow to compromised organs
aids the treatment of infection by enhancing white blood cell action and potentiating germ-killing antibiotics.

uring treatment, usually lasting an hour, the patient is surrounded by and inhales pure oxygen while pressure within the chamber is increased from 1-1/2 to 2 times the outside pressure. At the end of treatment, the patient is gradually decompressed to normal pressure and leaves the chamber.
