Fibromyalgia and the Hyperbaric Chamber
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Fibromyalgia presents as a condition characterized by widespread pain throughout the body, alongside sleep disturbances, fatigue, and often, emotional and mental distress. Individuals with Fibromyalgia may exhibit heightened sensitivity to pain, termed abnormal pain perception processing. Approximately 4 million US adults, or about 2% of the […]
Fertility and the Hyperbaric Chamber
According to the World Health Organization, infertility and sub-fertility impact a significant portion of the global population. In the United States alone, CDC data reveals that 6.1 million women aged 15-44 encounter challenges in conceiving or maintaining pregnancy. The complexities of conception extend beyond female reproductive health, as various factors influence fertility. Research indicates that […]
Diabetes and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Diabetes impacts over 37.3 million individuals, with nearly 96 million more facing pre-Diabetes. The condition poses a heightened risk for severe health complications, including cardiovascular issues, eye problems, kidney disease, nerve damage, and dental issues, all exacerbated by consistently high blood glucose levels. Furthermore, diabetes increases susceptibility to infections and is a leading cause of […]
Covid-19 (Long-Haul covid) and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Common symptoms of long-COVID encompass fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, joint pain, chest pain, memory and concentration difficulties, sleep problems, muscle pain, rapid or pounding heartbeat, loss of smell or taste, anxiety, depression, dizziness upon standing, and exacerbated symptoms post-exertion. Hyperbaric Therapy has been observed to address these symptoms through: Covid-19 Studies Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy […]
Concussion/Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Concussions, all classified as traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), vary in severity and should be promptly evaluated by a medical professional. Athletes, particularly in contact sports, and individuals involved in accidents are at risk. Hyperbaric Therapy (HBOT) has shown promise in facilitating concussion/TBI recovery by reducing hypoxia and neuroinflammation while enhancing brain circulation. Studies dating back […]
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Hyperbaric Chamber
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that one million people in the US grapple with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), while the global prevalence ranges between 17-24 million individuals. CFS presents as a profound and complex ailment characterized by relentless fatigue persisting for at least six months, defying explanation by underlying medical conditions. This fatigue profoundly […]
Cerebral Palsy and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Cerebral Palsy (CP) encompasses a spectrum of nervous system disorders impacting movement and balance, typically manifesting early in life and often accompanied by additional challenges like intellectual disability, seizures, and sensory impairments. While non-progressive, CP presents evolving obstacles as individuals age. Hyperbaric Therapy emerges as a potential ally in managing CP’s effects. By introducing heightened […]
Cancer and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Emerging integrated therapies are reshaping the landscape of cancer treatment, with Hyperbaric Therapy now integrated alongside conventional methods like radiation and chemotherapy. This combined approach aims to optimize treatment dosages, induce tumor regression, and alleviate treatment side effects. Research indicates that cancer cells thrive in oxygen-deprived environments, a common condition observed in cancer patients. By […]
Burns and the Hyperbaric Chamber
In second or third-degree burns, the surrounding skin becomes hypoxic, meaning it lacks oxygen, hindering the healing process. However, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offers a valuable aid in this scenario. By saturating the body and damaged tissue with high levels of oxygen, HBOT significantly decreases the risk of severe infection or death in burn victims. […]
Autoimmunity and the Hyperbaric Chamber
Autoimmune diseases affect approximately 1 in 10 people globally, with women being more susceptible (13%) than men (7%), according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. These diseases encompass over 80 different conditions, including well-known ones like Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, alongside emerging variants. Interestingly, individuals with one autoimmune […]
