Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Chiropractic & Sport Injury Centers continues to explore modern, technological advancements when it comes to treatment options for their clientele. One of the latest developments is the use of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to treat a variety of conditions and sports injuries.
Unless they are divers, the vast majority of individuals haven’t yet heard of HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy). But it is growing in popularity and is one of the latest holistic treatment options used to treat a variety of conditions. Usually, it is administered in an oxygen filled tube, but in some cases, physicians use a room filled with oxygen, so it is more comfortable for the patient.
In the oxygen chamber, air pressure is increased about three times higher. This extra air pressure allows the lungs to collect more oxygen, which is distributed throughout the body via the circulatory system. This method is commonly used to treat decompression sickness, which occurs when one is scuba diving, but it can also be used effectively to treat a variety of conditions, including burns, wounds, sudden deafness, brain injuries, severe anemia and brain abscesses. They are also used to treat vision loss, gangrene or radiation injuries. Studies are constantly uncovering new conditions that can be effectively treated with these methods.
