Anti-Aging and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Aging is marked by a gradual decline in physiological function, accompanied by an increasing prevalence of age-related diseases and degenerative conditions worldwide. One notable aspect of cellular aging is telomere attrition, the progressive shortening of protective chromosome caps. This process limits cell division, ultimately leading to a decline in vital organ cell populations, and is […]
Anemia and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Anemia occurs when disruptions in the body’s oxygen transport system lead to a decrease in red blood cell levels, resulting in reduced oxygenation. Hyperbaric Therapy (HBOT) addresses this issue by saturating the body with oxygen, restoring oxygen levels in the tissues to normal levels. In severe cases of oxygen depletion, HBOT can bring the body […]
Alzheimer’s/Dementia and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive neurologic disorder characterized by brain atrophy and the loss of brain cells. It stands as the leading cause of Dementia, a condition marked by a continuous decline in cognitive, behavioral, and social abilities, impacting independent functioning. As of 2020, approximately 5.8 million Americans were living with Alzheimer’s Disease, with projections […]
Addiction / Recovery and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Current treatments for substance use disorder (SUD) encompass a range of approaches, including behavioral-focused therapy, medication-assisted treatment, co-occurring mental health disorder evaluation and management (e.g., anxiety, depression), and long-term relapse prevention strategies. One emerging treatment showing promise is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Research has explored its efficacy in alleviating detox and withdrawal symptoms associated with […]
