Some of the benefits that can result from HBOT are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Healing wounds, no matter where they are<\/li>\n<li>Decreasing wound healing time through increased efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Reducing the risk of amputation<\/li>\n<li>Enhancing the brain&#8217;s ability to regain neurologic function (Neuroplasticity)<\/li>\n<li>Decreasing disability<\/li>\n<li>Reducing Pain<\/li>\n<li>Improving quality of life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<p>Soft hyperbaric chambers &#8211; or inflatable &#8220;bags&#8221; made of polyurethane or canvas material &#8211; are often marketed as effective for treating various complex medical conditions. Most of those claims, unfortunately, have not been proven, and in many instances such claims haven&#8217;t been studied either. These soft chambers, sometimes referred to as &#8220;mild hyperbaric chambers,&#8221; are prevalent in spas, gyms, and even in the homes of high-performance athletes. Soft chambers work by compressing 21% oxygen (i.e., room air) at low-pressure levels. At these low oxygen and pressure levels, soft chambers are not nearly as effective at promoting oxygen absorption into the bloodstream &#8211; the chief healing mechanism involved in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or &#8220;HBOT&#8221; &#8211; as hard chamber hyperbaric systems.<\/p>\n<p>Hard hyperbaric chambers, or medical-grade chambers, use 100% oxygen and can reach high-pressure levels, leading to a 1200% or more increase in the amount of oxygen absorbed in the bloodstream. Among other benefits, this increased oxygen absorption level: (a) allows for oxygen to be pushed deep into the tissues, lymphatics, and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord; (b) stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the body, increasing circulation, allowing revitalized tissue to thrive even after the treatment protocol has been completed; (c) decreases inflammation and swelling, strengthens the immune system, stimulates the release of stem cells, and enhances mitochondrial function and regeneration; and (d) increases the production of superoxide dismutase, one of the body&#8217;s natural antioxidants and free radical scavengers, which increases the ability of the body to fight disease and infection.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Science The Principles The term &#8220;hyperbaric&#8221; is defined as a gas at a pressure greater than normal.
