OXYGEN AND THE HUMAN BODY

Oxygen is vital for health, it is the single most important element your body needs and is a primary source of energy. The body can survive without food for three weeks, wothout water for three days, but without oxygen for only three minutes. Only 10% of our body's energy comes from food and water and 90% comes from oxygen. Oxygen is essential.

THE BASICS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

HBOT is a safe and effective method of delivering more oxygen to your cells and tissues. Using a mild chamber, filtered ambient air is compressed to the equivalent of 1.3 atm, (atomspheric pressure) or 11 feet below sea level. The increased pressure in the chamber allows more oxygen to be dissolved into fluids thoughout your body, as stated by Henry's Law of Physics. Now, with more oxygen reaching your cells and tissues, your body's natural ability to recover and maintain optimal health is increased.

HENRY'S LAW OF PHYSICS:
"A gas subjected to an increase in air
pressure will disolve more easily in
any given liquid"

THE BENFEFITS OF HYPERBARIC THERAPY

Since our bodies recognize oxygen as a restorative, our patients often find they come in with one objective and leave realizing multiple and unexpected benefits! As an example, patients utilizing HBOT to expedite recovery from a surgical procedure, may also realize a greater ability to retain information or an improvement to the current sleep patterns.

WHY IS HBOT CALLED "DIVNG"

While no water is involved, HBOT is often referred to as "diving". The phrase began after WWI when HBOT chambers were used to treat deep sea divers with decompression sickness. A session in the mild pressurized chamber is similar to going to the bottom of an 11 foot pool and staying there for about an hour with air to breathe and ears that are equalized.

HOW DOES IT TAKE

One session last approximately one hour. Whether you schedule on a lunch break or to de-stress after a hectic day, oxygen therapy will easily fit into the busiest schedule. How often you should dive will vary based on your specific needs.

IS IS SAFE?

Yes! Hyberbaric chambers are completely safe; in fact they are FDA approved for use in the home. Since our chambers only pressurize to 1.3 ATA, there is little danger of any oxygen toxicity whatsoever.

Be informed. Be proactive. Be well.

"Oxygen is one of the four essentials
of life. Without it, all living things
cease to exist. With hyperbaric oxygen
therapy your body will have the ability
to heal quicker, be healthier and
maintain overall wellness."
